American Express presents Roundhay Festival, the newest highlight of Leeds’s 2026 summer cultural calendar, is thrilled to announce that Mr Worldwide himself, Pitbull, will headline, joined by Kesha and many more acts still to be revealed.

Pitbull will take to the stage on Friday 3 July 2026 at the new festival which is the newest highlight of Leeds’s 2026 summer cultural calendar. Tickets go on general sale on Wednesday 8 October. Visit www.roundhayfestival.com. Lewis Capaldi has already been announced as the headliner for Saturday 4 July, with more artists across multiple stages to be announced.

The international superstar has sold more than 25 million studio albums and has more than 60 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms. He has worked with everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Christina Aguilera to Usher.

With mega hits including ‘Don’t Stop the Party’, ‘Timber’, ‘Hotel Room Service’, ‘Time of Our Lives’, ‘Give Me Everything’, ‘Fireball’ and ‘Get On The Floor’ the Grammy Award winner has secured his place as not only one of the pre-eminent figures in Latin music and hip hop but as one of the biggest names in the pop world.

Pitbull’s 15-date sold-out ‘Party After Dark’ European tour in June, including two shows at the O2 arena, really took off! Thousands of bald cap adorning fans gathered at arenas across the globe.

The shows resulted in a viral explosion of fans proudly wearing bald caps and dubbing themselves “The Bald E’s” in honor of the artist’s signature look and larger-than-life persona. The fan movement has taken social media by storm, celebrating Pitbull’s iconic image with humor, creativity and unity.

A true pop icon and electrifying live performer, Kesha burst onto the scene with her record-breaking debut single TiK ToK, which became one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. She quickly followed it with global anthems like We R Who We R and Die Young, cementing her place as one of the defining pop voices of the 2010s. Alongside her own hits, she also topped charts worldwide with the Pitbull collaboration Timber, and first came to prominence after featuring on Flo Rida’s No.1 smash Right Round.
