Pitbull headlined BST Hyde Park, Kesha joined him for “Timber”, and the crowd set a world record for the most people in bald caps.
Pitbull, the Miami rapper known as Mr Worldwide, headlined BST Hyde Park on Friday 10 July 2026. Kesha, his partner on “Timber”, was on the bill.
Born Armando Christian Pérez in 1981, he began in the early 2000s as a reggaeton and Latin hip-hop performer. Lil Jon executive-produced his debut album, M.I.A.M.I., in 2004.
“I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” gave him a mainstream breakthrough in 2009. After he turned to pop, “Give Me Everything” became his first number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Dale, his first Spanish-language album in almost five years, won a Grammy Award in 2016.
The crowd set a Guinness World Record for the most people wearing bald caps in one place, with 22,141 counted across the site.
Kesha joined him for “Timber”, their first live performance of the song together in 13 years.
Lil Jon and Tinie Tempah also played on the day, which opened the festival’s third weekend.
