Pitbull returns to large sheds with the I’m Back tour, landing at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh on May 19, 2026, and the framing is straightforward: global pop-rap engineered for scale, precision, and endurance. Pitbull’s music has long been described by critics as a hybrid of club rap, Latin pop, and EDM-forward crossover—built on call-and-response hooks, rhythmic clarity, and production that translates cleanly in arenas and outdoor amphitheaters. This tour runs across North America with additional international dates folded in, reflecting a catalog that has remained export-ready for over a decade. His discography—from Planet Pit and Global Warming through Climate Change and recent singles—prioritizes momentum over reinvention, and that consistency is the point. Pitbull’s accolades include multiple Grammy wins and nominations, global chart dominance, and a rare ability to bridge English- and Spanish-language pop markets without dilution. Outside music, his long-running work with education initiatives and community programs, particularly in Florida, has been well documented. Official site: https://pitbullmusic.com

Lil Jon supports the run with a set rooted in crunk’s original architecture—minimalist chants, heavy low end, and a producer’s understanding of how rhythm moves crowds before melody ever needs to. Critics have long framed Lil Jon not just as a hype figure but as a structural force in Southern hip-hop, shaping the sound of early-2000s club rap in ways that still echo through modern pop and electronic production. His presence on the I’m Back tour adds historical weight and functional contrast, anchoring the night in a style that values physical response over spectacle. Recent years have seen Lil Jon expand his profile through high-visibility collaborations and cross-genre appearances, while his catalog remains anchored by defining releases that set the tone for an era. His philanthropic work, particularly around education and disaster relief, has increasingly become part of his public identity. Official site: https://liljon.com
