Pitbull to Attempt Historic Bald Cap World Record at London Concert
International music sensation Pitbull has announced an ambitious Guinness World Record attempt that will take place during his upcoming concert in London. The American rapper, singer, and entertainer will headline BST Hyde Park on Friday, July 10, 2026, where he aims to secure the official record for the 'largest gathering of people wearing bald caps'.
A Unique Fan Experience and Celebration
Pitbull, known for his energetic performances and loyal fanbase, has cultivated a distinctive tradition where attendees at his shows don bald caps and formal attire as a symbol of solidarity and expression. The artist affectionately refers to these fans as Bald-Es, a playful abbreviation for Bald Eagles. This summer, he plans to transform this cultural phenomenon into a certified world record, inviting approximately 65,000 concertgoers to participate in the historic moment.
In a statement about the attempt, Pitbull expressed his enthusiasm, saying: "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." He added: "We appreciate the love, the commitment, and the support. More than anything, we just want to say thank you. Dale!"
Official Support and Excitement
Guinness World Records adjudicator Will Munford confirmed the organization's involvement, stating: "We look forward to adjudicating this record at BST Hyde Park with Pitbull. What better way to be part of something amazing than coming together with other fans to celebrate your favourite artist. Best of luck to all of those taking part on the day!"
Darcey Jackson, director of talent at AEG Presents European Festivals, also shared excitement about the event: "We're so excited to host a world record attempt at Pitbull's show in BST Hyde Park - The highest number of people wearing bald caps! 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."
