The two pop stars have been announced for the new Roundhay Festival in Leeds.
Roundhay Festival organisers have officially confirmed that Pitbull will be one of the headline acts at the new Leeds event in summer 2026, with Kesha joining as a supporting act.
Pitbull is set to perform on Friday, 3rd July, with Lewis Capaldi already announced for the following day.
Roundhay Festival is being presented by AEG and American Express.
It is intended as a major music event in the north of England, hosted at Roundhay Park in Leeds.
The park has a long musical heritage, having hosted large concerts by artists like Madonna, The Rolling Stones, and more recently Ed Sheeran. Early projections suggest a capacity of around 70,000 attendees.
Pitbull, often known by his stage name “Mr Worldwide,” has released multiple charting hits over his career, including “Timber,” “Fireball,” and “Give Me Everything.”
Kesha, whose career includes breakthrough hits such as “TiK ToK” and “We R Who We R,” will feature as part of his set.
On social media and internet culture, Pitbull has become something of a meme figure due to his exuberant persona, signature catchphrases, and his “everywhere” image.
Memes often exaggerate his “Mr Worldwide” branding, playing with the idea that he is omnipresent or that he arrives everywhere at once.
One recent viral trend among fans at his concerts involves dressing up like the artist—complete with bald caps, sunglasses, and shirts resembling his stage wardrobe.
This has led to large crowds where many concertgoers mirror Pitbull’s iconic look.

The artist himself has referenced these “cloned” audiences with affection, calling the phenomenon “priceless.
As ticket sales are set to open on Wednesday 8th October for the Friday event, organizers promise further lineup announcements in the weeks ahead.
For anyone planning to attend, this Roundhay Festival marks a bold bid to place Leeds firmly on the map again for large-scale summer concerts.
