On January 15, 2026, coinciding with his 45th birthday, the global hitmaker announced his massive “I’m Back” Tour, marking one of the most high-profile touring returns of the year. Produced by Live Nation, the tour spans spring through fall 2026, covering approximately 35 cities across North America, with additional international dates in Europe and the UK.

More than just a concert run, the “I’m Back” Tour is positioned as a full-scale celebration of Pitbull’s career, his party-anthem legacy, and his long-awaited return to large-scale touring. With Lil Jon featured as a special guest on many North American dates and DJ Laz also listed as an additional guest on select announcements, the tour promises nonstop energy, nostalgia, and crowd-shaking performances.
