Mr. Worldwide Returns: Pitbull Kicks Off His New World Tour with an Incredible Home Town Performance – Photos and Review of the Pitbull Concert Featuring Lil Jon at the iThink Financial Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL
As the lights at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre dimmed and DJ Laz pumped popular hits over the speakers, a sold-out crowd instantly forgot it was a “just” a Thursday night as they began to dance the night away while they waited for Pitbull to start the party. Mr. Worldwide is indeed back, and he’s hosting the kickoff for his 73-date “I’m Back” World Tour, designed to rattle speakers all over the globe, right here in his home state of South Florida.
Setting the Stage with Crunk Royalty
Before Pitbull could remind everyone why he’s called Mr. Worldwide, Lil Jon took on the crucial task of igniting the pavilion. With the authority of a seasoned hype man who has soundtracked countless nights out, the “King of Crunk” wasted no time turning the amphitheater into a massive, open-air club from the moment he stepped onto the stage. He tore through the unmistakable opening riffs of “Yeah!” and “Get Low”, sending a wave of nostalgia crashing over the audience. The energy surged further with “Shots” and the seismic bass of “Turn Down for What?”, with fans shouting every lyric back as if they were anthems of personal rebellion. Lil Jon’s opening act set a breakneck pace that left absolutely no room for sitting down.
