Pitbull has been announced as a headliner for both Leeds’ new Roundhay Festival and BST Hyde Park 2026.
He will headline the Roundhay Festival, the new festival that launches next summer in Leeds on 3 July and will be joined by Kesha and other names.
Tickets for the show will go on general sale October 8 and will be available here. Pitbull will also headline BST Hyde Park next year on 10 July, where he will also have support from Kesha, with more names still to be revealed.
Tickets for the show will go on general sale on October 8, and will be available here.
Both BST Hyde Park and Roundhay will also be headlined by Lewis Capaldi next year as part of some of his biggest headline shows.
Garth Brooks has also been announced as a BST Hyde Park headliner, with others still to be confirmed.
Jim King, the CEO of AEG Presents UK said, “We’re proud that over the years, BST Hyde Park has welcomed artists from every corner of the musical spectrum, but there’s truly no one quite like Mr. Worldwide.”
“Pitbull’s energy is unmatched, and his ability to unite audiences across generations is something special. BST Hyde Park is about joy, connection, and unforgettable nights, and with Pitbull, we know he will deliver all of that and more.”
Pitbull’s shows will provide fans with another chance to wear the bald caps after his recent shows went viral when many fans showed up wearing skintight bald caps, aviators, and leather jackets.
At a show in London’s O2 Arena in February earlier this year, Pitubull said, “Now I wanna say a special thank you to everybody who came out with bald caps here tonight. It’s amazing to see, and it’s amazing to feel.”
“And I hope when you put on those bald caps you feel just like I do: Having a good motherfucking time every day of my life.”
On his return to the UK in June, the trend continued, with fans adding fake facial hair and a suit. This time he said, “[It’s] an honour.”
“It’s the ultimate trophy to be able to go on stage and see all the hard work that you put into the music. I’ve been in the game for 25 years and to see every demographic, everybody [dressing up] at the shows is priceless.”
Pitbull will be joined by Kesha at both the headlined festivals next year, which comes after he re-credited her on their collaborative track ‘Timber’, after receiving backlash when her name was removed from the 2013 song last year.
2026 will be the first year the Roundhay festival runs, with organisers hoping that it will become a central part of the north of England’s cultural calendar, hosting some of the world’s biggest names.
Roundhay Park already has big history with live music, having hosted the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, and Ed Sheeran.
