Pitbull announces bald cap World Record attempt during London concert - here's what to know

Pitbull fans, listen up, as Mr 305 has announced that his BST Hyde Park performance in London this summer will also coincide with a new Guinness World Record attempt.

2025 was the year everyone finally let down their guard and admitted they secretly loved Pitbull, sparking a movement of motivational quotes and bald caps at his world tour.

He's set to play a huge show in London's Hyde Park on 10 July 2026, with over 65,000 people expected to attend, and now, he wants them to don their best bald head too.

Just days ago, BBC Radio One presenter Greg James floated the idea of a Guinness World Record title attempt for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps during his show, and even texted Pitbull while on-air to get his blessing.

Now, it's been made official.

"Guinness Book of World Records, get ready for all the Bald-E’s that’ll be putting it down on July 10th at Hyde Park. Every time you put on that bald cap, you know you’re about to have the time of your lives. We appreciate the love, the commitment, and the support. More than anything, we just want to say thank you. Dale!”, Pitbull himself said in a statement, announcing the news.

Darcey Jackson, Director of Talent at AEG Presents European Festivals, also said: “We're so excited to host a [Mr] world [wide] record attempt at Pitbull's show in BST Hyde Park - The highest number of people wearing baldcaps! We've broken a few world records in the past but this will really truly be the time of our lives. We cannot wait to welcome you all to Hyde Park for what will inevitably be an incredible show. Come one, come all, come bald."

That being said, Guinness World Records are taking it very seriously, and there's a few rules that participants must stick to in order to qualify.
