Pitbull Breaks BST Hyde Park Attendance Record as Fans Set Guinness World Record

Pitbull made history in London, and the Baldies showed up in a major way.

The superstar’s sold-out hyper-hot show at American Express presents BST Hyde Park drew 69,999 fans, setting the highest recorded attendance for a BST Hyde Park concert.

And there was more history made.

Full story below…

Adding to the spectacle, 22,141 fans wearing bald caps were officially counted at 5:00 pm, earning Pitbull and his supporters a Guinness World Records title for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps.

The epic, record-breaking moment was led by BBC Radio 1 host Greg James, with Guinness World Records adjudicator Will Munford on hand to present the Miami-born star with the framed certificate before he hit the stage.

Clearly moved by the milestone, the artist also known as Mr. Worldwide and Mr. 305 took in the full-circle weight of the moment.

Pitbull, real name Armando Christian Pérez, gushed:

“Who would have ever thought a first-generation Cuban would ever be in London, record-breaking and record-making for the Guinness Book of World Records.”

From there, the party truly began. Taking a break from his 27-date ‘I’m Back Tour,’ the hitmaker powered through a 20-song set stacked with hits including ‘Don’t Stop The Party,’ ‘Hotel Room Service,’ ‘International Love,’ and ‘Feel This Moment.’

The energy stayed sky-high with medleys spanning ‘Culo,’ ‘Calle 8,’ ‘On The Floor,’ and ‘Hey Baby,’ before Lil Jon joined the celebration for ‘Gasolina,’ ‘Jumpin,’ and more. Kesha later hit the stage for their global smash ‘Timber.’

Closing out the night, Pitbull summed up the spirit of the spectacle best, telling the crowd that music “unites” and “brings us together.”

And it sure did!
