A total of 22,141 individuals participated in the feat by donning rubber bald caps, marking the largest assembly of ‘Baldies’ at a single concert.
Known as Mr. Worldwide and Mr. 305, the Miami-born rapper was visibly thrilled upon receiving the Guinness World Records title just before gracing the stage. Expressing his gratitude, Pitbull hailed the moment as historic, thanking London, the fans, Hyde Park, and the Baldies for their support.

Delivering an electrifying performance to a crowd of 69,999, many adorned in his iconic aviator sunglasses, black ties, and rubber bald caps, Pitbull captivated the audience with hits like Don’t Stop the Party, Hotel Room Service, International Love, and I Feel Good. Additionally, he paid tribute to England’s World Cup journey with a cover of Oasis’ Wonderwall.
Despite the intense heat, the audience remained lively, dancing and singing along enthusiastically throughout the two-hour show. The grand finale featured special appearances by Lil Jon and Kesha, who joined Pitbull on stage for exhilarating performances, culminating in their global hit, Timber.
Intermittently interspersing his high-energy tracks with motivational messages, Pitbull conveyed his appreciation for the journey that led him to the stage.
