Pitbull Sets 50-Plus-Date Can’t Stop Us Now Tour With Iggy Azalea and Sean Paul

Pitbull has announced the Can’t Stop Us Now Tour, an extensive North American run featuring Iggy Azalea and Sean Paul on selected dates and SiriusXM Globalization DJs at every stop. The itinerary begins July 28 at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, North Carolina, and is scheduled to finish October 19 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. Live Nation is producing the tour.

The announcement describes the trek as a 50-plus-date undertaking. Its published itinerary contains 51 performances, including consecutive nights at Zappos Theater in Las Vegas, and takes Pitbull through the United States and Canada over nearly three months. The full schedule and its support-act key appear in the April 11 announcement published by Iowa Events Center and in Pollstar’s same-day report.

Tickets for most dates are due to reach the general public Friday, April 15, at 10 a.m. local time. Pollstar lists the artist presale for Wednesday, April 13, at 10 a.m. local time, while the venue announcements direct fans to Pitbull’s tour page to register for a password. Because several performances are marked as independently promoted or already on sale, buyers should consult the listing for their city rather than assume one procedure applies everywhere.

The guest lineup changes along the route

The tour’s top-line billing needs one important qualification: Azalea and Sean Paul are not both promised at every performance. The announcement uses a plus sign for dates with Azalea and a hash mark for dates with Sean Paul. An asterisk identifies shows that are not Live Nation dates. Several performances carry no guest symbol at all.

Azalea is attached to the opening night in Raleigh and nearly all of the first portion of the tour. Her announced stretch includes Bristow, Hershey, Darien Lake, Camden, Holmdel, Jones Beach, Montreal, Toronto, Red Rocks, Des Moines, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and the Minnesota State Fair before continuing through Oklahoma City on September 4. She is also marked for the October 15 show in Fort Myers and October 16 in Orlando.

Sean Paul’s announced run begins September 9 in San Antonio and covers dates including Laredo, Houston, Albuquerque, two Las Vegas performances, Phoenix, Chula Vista, Irvine, San Jose, Bakersfield, El Paso, Fort Worth, New Orleans, Nashville, Savannah and Alpharetta. The original schedule does not assign him to every western or southern stop: Corning, the Hollywood Bowl and Sparks are among the dates without his symbol. The October 19 finale also has no guest marker in the published itinerary.

That distinction is confirmed by local reporting. Radio Milwaukee identified Azalea as the opener for Milwaukee on August 26, while discussing Sean Paul as part of the wider tour. WFTV’s Orlando report similarly named Azalea for the October 16 Florida performance. The safe reading is therefore date-specific: the poster presents the tour’s complete roster, while the itinerary determines which artist is scheduled in each city.

The Globalization DJs are the consistent element. Both the promoter material and Pollstar say the SiriusXM-affiliated DJs will open all stops, giving the production a continuing musical thread even as the featured guest changes.

Azalea returns after the I Feel Good Tour

Azalea’s place on the bill extends an established touring partnership. Pitbull’s 2021 I Feel Good Tour was originally announced as a 32-city United States run with Azalea as special guest on most dates. Pollstar’s 2021 itinerary listed only three performances where she was not scheduled to appear. A Houston Press review documented the pair’s September 2021 stop at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Texas.

Can’t Stop Us Now substantially expands that template. It adds Canada, returns to many of the amphitheater markets that suited the earlier tour and reaches arenas, casinos, a state fair and the Hollywood Bowl. Pollstar reported that Pitbull’s October 9, 2021, concert at PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte sold 18,078 tickets and grossed $869,305. That is only one reported performance, not a total for the tour, but it helps explain why the new routing is larger and why Azalea remains central to its first half.

The continuity also makes the addition of Sean Paul more meaningful. Instead of simply repeating the preceding summer’s pairing, the schedule changes character after Labor Day. Azalea anchors most of the July and August amphitheater circuit; Sean Paul is concentrated in the September and October run through Texas, the Southwest and the South. It is a practical way to vary a very long tour without representing the package as a three-artist co-headline show.

Fifty-one dates across several kinds of venue

The itinerary’s scale is not just a matter of duration. Its 51 listed performances span the familiar outdoor sheds of the summer concert business, indoor arenas, casino properties and event-specific stages. Early dates include Jones Beach in New York, Bell Centre in Montreal, Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and Riverbend Music Center near Cincinnati. Later weeks move through the AT&T Center in San Antonio, the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

The August 28 Minnesota State Fair appearance illustrates the route’s reach beyond conventional tour stops. CBS Minnesota reported on April 11 that Pitbull and Azalea would play the Grandstand that Sunday, with separately ticketed seats priced from $39 to $84. Axios Twin Cities also confirmed the pairing and date. Those prices apply to the fair performance, not automatically to the rest of the tour.

Several announced shows sit outside the Live Nation portion of the routing, including Uncasville, Durant, Highland Park, the Minnesota State Fair, Corning, Sparks and the Hollywood finale. That helps account for differences in ticket outlets, presale arrangements and guest details. The Milwaukee venue, for example, directs buyers to Ticketmaster, while the Iowa Events Center announcement points its local customers toward Hy-VeeTix.

The closing date has its own first-party confirmation. Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood announced an October 19 performance at 8 p.m., described it as the final stop and listed an April 13 artist presale, an April 14 venue presale and the April 15 public sale. Its announcement names the Globalization DJs but does not promise Azalea or Sean Paul for the finale, matching the absence of a guest symbol on the master itinerary.

A tour structured around Pitbull’s live identity

The routing is broad enough to reflect the unusual position Pitbull occupies in pop touring. His catalog connects hip-hop, Latin pop and club-oriented crossover records, allowing one production to move among regional markets and venue types without being tied to a single format. The guest plan follows the same principle: Azalea brings a second consecutive summer of familiarity, Sean Paul changes the rhythmic and generational mix later in the run, and the Globalization DJs provide continuity.

That structure is more significant than a list of famous names on a poster. A 51-performance tour needs a clear nightly hierarchy and enough flexibility to work in outdoor amphitheaters, arenas and special-event settings. The announcement supplies both. Pitbull remains the headliner throughout; the featured support changes by date; and the DJs are presented as the permanent opening component.

For prospective ticket buyers, the essential details are therefore the city, the symbol attached to that city and the local venue’s sale page. For the 2022 concert calendar, the larger point is the commitment: Can’t Stop Us Now is not a short promotional run but a continent-spanning summer and fall tour, built from the working partnership Pitbull and Azalea established in 2021 and expanded with a substantial block of Sean Paul dates.
