Pitbull has announced a Kansas City area stop as part of his upcoming I’m Back Tour, with a performance scheduled for Friday, September 25, at the newly opened Morton Amphitheater in Riverside. The date marks the second-to-last stop on the 35-city tour, which runs across the United States from May through September.

The tour will feature guest artist Lil Jon, who collaborated with Pitbull on his debut album in 2004. The Riverside show will be part of the amphitheatre’s inaugural concert season, expanding the venue’s first-year live music schedule.

Speaking about his live performances, Pitbull previously told the BBC in June 2025: “Every time I’m at a show, I let them know that when you put on a bald cap, I hope you’re ready to have the time of your lives — it feels deeper than just music. It’s the ultimate trophy to be able to go on stage and see all the hard work that you put into the music.”

The comment reflects a growing fan tradition, with supporters known as The Bald E’s wearing bald caps to shows in tribute to the artist.

Born Armando Christian Perez, the Miami-based performer has sold more than 25 million albums and over 100 million singles worldwide.

His catalogue includes tracks such as Hotel Room Service, Give Me Everything, Timber, Time of Our Lives, Fireball and I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho). He has also featured on songs with artists including Usher, Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias.

Fans can register for presale access via Ticketmaster until Monday, January 26. Presale ticket purchases will begin on Wednesday, January 28.

The Pitbull concert joins other newly announced acts at Morton Amphitheater, including Chris Stapleton, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch and John Mellencamp, as the venue continues to build its debut season lineup.
