Global superstar Pitbull is celebrating his 45th birthday Thursday (Jan. 15) with exciting news: His return to the road with the I’m Back Tour, Billboard can announce exclusively. Produced by Live Nation, the 35-city trek through North America will begin in the spring and have Lil Jon as special guest.
The tour kicks off May 14 at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida, making stops in Houston, Los Angeles, the New York Tri-State Area, Toronto and more, before wrapping on Sept. 26 at the Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee, Minnesota. The announcement follows his highly anticipated European leg, playing in stadiums, amphitheaters and outdoor venues across multiple countries in the summer.
Known for No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 such as “Give Me Everything” with Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer and “Timber” with Kesha, Mr. Worldwide — as Pitbull is also known — remains one of the most consistent live performers of his generation. The Cuban-American rapper and singer has grossed more than $250 million and sold more than 4.7 million tickets globally throughout his career, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. His last run, Party After Dark Tour, was the biggest solo tour of his career, with over 50 dates in 13 countries.
