Hotel, motel, Morton Amphitheater: Superstar Pitbull announces KC-area show

Mr. 305 will become Mr. 816 for one night only in September when he performs at the brand-new amphitheater in the Kansas City area.

Superstar artist Pitbull announced the I’m Back Tour, a 35-date concert run taking him across the United States from May through September with guest artist Lil Jon, who helped produce his debut album in 2004. The second-to-last stop on the tour is at Morton Amphitheater in Riverside on Friday, Sept. 25, which is plenty of time for fans to get their bald caps.

“Every time I’m at a show, I let them know that when you put on a bald cap, I hope you’re ready to have the time of your lives — it feels deeper than just music,” He told the BBC in June 2025. “It’s the ultimate trophy to be able to go on stage and see all the hard work that you put into the music.”

Over the past few years, fans who call themselves The Bald E’s don bald caps to his shows to look more like the hitmaking singer. He said that he loves seeing the dedication from his crowds.
