Pitbull set to break world record for largest gathering of people wearing bald caps

Pitbull is on a mission to bring ‘the time of your lives’ to London this summer, and he is bringing a few thousand bald caps with him. The 45-year-old rapper announced on February 17, that he intends to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps during his headline performance at BST Hyde Park on July 10.

The Grammy-winning artiste, born Armando Christian Perez, has seen a surge in fans attending his shows dressed in his signature look: sleek suits, aviator sunglasses and, most crucially, a smooth scalp. These fans, affectionately dubbed the Bald-E’s, have turned the costume into a viral sensation. Armando credits the official record attempt to BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James, who pitched the idea via text.

"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," Armando said in a statement. "Every time you put on that bald cap, you know you’re about to have the time of your lives. I appreciate the love, the commitment and the support."

Organisers have already issued specific guidelines to ensure the record stands. Fans must have their bald caps "secured firmly on the head, with hair tucked under at the front and top", though hair is permitted to hang from the back. Currently, there is no existing record holder for this specific category, meaning the crowd is set to make history.

The London show is part of the I’m Back Tour and will feature Kesha as a special guest, reuniting the duo behind the 2013 hit Timber. While more supporting acts are yet to be announced, the festival lineup already includes big names like Lewis Capaldi and Maroon 5.
