## Summary

At Pitbull's BST Hyde Park concert on 10 July 2026, the rapper's fans secured a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps, with 22,141 counted. The record attempt, which leaned heavily into Pitbull's "Mr Worldwide" image, prompted an emotional on-stage tribute in which he thanked "the baldies", reflected on his Cuban immigrant family's journey to freedom and called the moment "priceless", telling the crowd that "if you believe it, you dream it, you can achieve it".

Thousands of concertgoers descended on London's Hyde Park in bald caps, aviators and leather jackets, gathering by the main stage to be officially counted before the show. Performing on the Great Oak Stage, Pitbull ran through hits including 'Don't Stop The Party', 'International Love' and 'I Feel Good', and paid tribute to his English fans with a cover of Oasis' 'Wonderwall'. He was also joined by Kesha — herself in a bald cap — to perform their 2013 hit 'Timber' together for the first time in 13 years, following her recent re-crediting on the track after her name had been removed from the original video.
