Mr.305, Mr Worldwide- Aka PITBULL is set to play Blackweir Summer Music series next summer
GRAMMY Award winning international superstar rapper, singer, songwriter and actor Pitbull will bring the ultimate party to Wales as he headlines Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields.
With billions of audio streams and video views, along with hundreds of gold and platinum certifications, Pitbull’s career stands as one of the most impressive in music history and he is now bringing his I’m Back Tour to Cardiff on Saturday July 4.
Fans can sign up for Thursday’s midday pre-sale via www.blackweirlive.com/pitbull with tickets going on general sale at midday Friday via blackweirlive.com and ticketmaster.co.uk
Pitbull, aka Armando Christian Perez, is affectionally known as Mr Worldwide. Earlier this year fans caused a viral storm during his high energy European tour with tens of thousands of them wearing bald caps and dubbing themselves “The Bald E’s” in honour of his signature look and larger-than-life persona.
With the I’m Back! Tour Pitbull guarantees to continue to celebrate this culture and bring the unstoppable pure party energy for fans. Set to be on an even bigger stage with highly stunning visuals, explosive pyrotechnics, and Pitbull’s signature performance. With a fusion of music, lights, and special effects—alongside his band, The Agents, and dancers, The Most Bad Ones—the show will deliver an unforgettable, one of a kind high-energy party for everyone to enjoy.
An international superstar, education ambassador, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker, Pitbull does not stand still. Aside from global success with hits including Fireball, Hotel Room Service, Give Me Everything, Timber and Don’t Stop The Party, beyond music he has built a diverse and expanding business portfolio.
His signature “EEEEEEEYOOOOOO” grito (yell) is one of fewer than 40 sound trademarks protected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He recently made history by partnering with Florida International University to rename its football stadium Pitbull Stadium, and he is also a passionate advocate for education.
Last year Pitbull teamed up with rock legends Bon Jovi for the powerful track Now or Never, blending his signature high-energy sound with the band’s anthemic rock style. The unexpected collaboration quickly gained global traction, further proving Pitbull’s ability to transcend genres and generations.
With no signs of slowing down, Pitbull continues to push boundaries and inspire millions around the world, leaving a profound cultural impact and cementing a legacy that spans entertainment, business, education, and beyond.
Pitbull joins a Blackweir line up which will already see a headlining show from US vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims and two headlining shows from Scottish superstar Lewis Capaldi.
Launched earlier this year, Blackweir is Cardiff’s new live music hotspot in a partnership between DEPOT Live (the live-events arm of Cardiff music venue, DEPOT) and UK promoters Cuffe and Taylor.
Nick Saunders, founder of DEPOT Live said: “Pitbull presents the ultimate party so where better to bring that than Cardiff. This will be an unmissable night filled with hit after hit and with the phenomena created around his shows earlier this year, we expect to see a lot of bald caps in honour of Mr Worldwide.
“Adding Pitbull to our line up alongside Teddy Swims and Lewis Capaldi makes for a very strong line up for Blackweir 2026 and we still have more announcements to come!”
