American Express presents Roundhay Festival, the newest addition to Leeds’ 2026 summer cultural calendar, is excited to announce three iconic names joining Pitbull on Friday 3 July: Jason Derulo, Tinie Tempah and Lil Jon. More acts to be announced and tickets for Mr Worldwide’s debut Leeds show are on sale now, visit www.roundhayfestival.com.
International superstar Pitbull has sold more than 25 million studio albums and has more than 60 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms. The star has worked with everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Christina Aguilera to Usher and many more. 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.
With Pitbull in the driving seat, joined by Jason Derulo, Tinie Tempah and Lil Jon, this will be the undisputed party of the year – so grab your bald cap and get down to Roundhay Park.
With nearly 250 million followers across media platforms, Jason Derulo is a true multi-platform powerhouse and ranks among the top pop and urban artists of this or any era. While he may be recognizable worldwide as a multiplatinum singer and songwriter, Jason’s story starts unassumingly. The self-described, “Kid from a Haitian family in Miami,” has quietly and consistently grinded to emerge as one of his generation’s most prolific artists. With over 250 million singles sold and tens of billions of streams, his catalog includes platinum and multiplatinum generational anthems like “Talk Dirty [feat. 2 Chainz],” “Wiggle,” “Swalla,” and “Savage Love,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts in 16 countries. Whether collaborating with BTS, Nicki Minaj, Luke Bryan, or Michael Bublé, Derulo continues to blend genre, culture, and global sound with ease. His viral hit “Snake” with Nora Fatehi has racked up over 124 million views. Jason Derulo is also one of the most-followed males on TikTok and a top 10 largest music artist account overall, proving he’s as influential online as he is on the charts.
The global hitmaker continues his momentum with his latest single, “Sexy For Me,” alongside his new album, The Last Dance (Part 1). Over the past year, Derulo has been captivating audiences worldwide with his Last Dance World Tour, and now he’ll be bringing those vibes to Roundhay Park for Pitbull’s headlining show.
When Tinie Tempah exploded onto the scene with “Pass Out” in 2010, he didn’t just score a hit, he rewrote the blueprint for UK rap forever. Over fifteen years later, with 3 Top Ten albums, 7 number 1’s, and a cultural legacy that paved the way for Britain’s Black music revolution, Tinie Tempah remains the architect of his own unstoppable momentum. From sold-out arenas to festival headlines, from chart domination to cultural zeitgeist moments, Tinie Tempah has consistently proven that longevity in this game isn’t about luck, it’s about evolution. His latest singles ‘Eat It Up’ and ‘Living Life’ make a statement of intent: Tinie Tempah isn’t just back, he’s here to remind everyone why he’s been the standard-setter all along. The game may have changed since 2010, but the throne remains his…
Louder and larger than life, Lil Jon is the undisputed king of crunk and one of hip-hop’s most influential hitmakers. Rising out of Atlanta’s club scene with Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, he helped define the Dirty South sound with era-shaping anthems like “Get Low,” alongside landmark productions including Usher’s Grammy-winning “Yeah!” and “Snap Yo Fingers.” With a string of gold and platinum albums and a catalogue that spans hip-hop, pop and EDM, most notably the global smash “Turn Down for What” with DJ Snake, Lil Jon has remained a dominant force in music for over two decades. Renowned for his live sets, he now brings that same high-octane presence to Roundhay Park as part of this year’s line up.

About Pitbull:
Armando Christian Pérez, globally known as Pitbull, invites disruption on a global scale as a GRAMMY® Award-winning independent international superstar, education ambassador, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. With billions of audio streams and video views, along with hundreds of gold and platinum certifications, his career stands as one of the most impressive in music history. Pitbull’s signature “EEEEEEEYOOOOOO” grito (yell) is one of fewer than 40 sound trademarks protected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Beyond music, Pitbull has built a diverse and expanding business portfolio. He founded the Mr. 305 record label and Voli 305 Vodka, and launched Globalization, a SiriusXM channel featuring global rhythmic hits. He recently made history by partnering with Florida International University (FIU) to rename its football stadium “Pitbull Stadium,” the first athletic venue in the U.S. named after an artist.
Pitbull is also a passionate advocate for education. He co-founded SLAM! (Sports Leadership Arts Management), a tuition-free public charter school network recognized globally as a leading education organization, currently serving over 10,000 students across 14 schools in the U.S.
In 2024, Pitbull teamed up with Bon Jovi on the high-impact track “Now or Never,” which debuted on the Billboard charts, blending global dance energy with classic rock and reinforcing his cross-generational appeal. That momentum carried into 2025, translating into sold-out arenas across Europe and Australia, where fans showed up in full Pitbull-inspired looks and major media outlets spotlighted the phenomenon. This fan movement has taken social media by storm, celebrating Pitbull’s iconic image with humor, creativity and unity.
In January 2026, Pitbull announced his I AM Back Tour across the United States, following a string of sold-out shows worldwide.
Pitbull continues to push boundaries and inspire millions around the world, leaving a profound cultural impact and cementing a legacy that spans entertainment, business, education, and beyond.
