Pitbull wants to break the world record for people having the time of their lives — in a bald cap.

On Tuesday, he announced plans to secure a Guinness World Records title of the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps by encouraging fans to turn up as Mr. Worldwide at his BST Hyde Park headlining show in London on July 10.

“Let me tell you how I feel about all the bald-e’s that’s gonna be putting it down,” Pitbull said in a statement. “I just wanna let y’all know that every time you put on that bald cap, you know you’re about to have the time of your lives. I appreciate the love, I appreciate the commitment, I appreciate the support and more than anything, I just want to say thank you. Dale!”

Currently, there’s no record holder for the feat, according to the Guinness World Records database.

The idea was born of a recent trend of die-hard fans attending Pitbull concerts in bald caps, aviators, and snug-fitting suit jackets. When BBC Radio 1 Breakfast host Greg James championed the idea of pursuing a world record, the plan was put into action.

More details of how fans can participate will be given closer to the concert date, according to event organizers. For now, concertgoers are asked to wear their bald caps “secured firmly on the head, with hair tucked under at the front and top,” noting that “hair may hang from the back.”

Madonna Shares First Music From Long-Awaited Sequel Album ‘Confession II’

After months of rumors and hints, Madonna has finally revealed plans for the sequel to her 2005 LP Confessions on a Dance Floor, which she’s titled Confessions II. The album is set to come out July 3, and she’s shared a brief visual teaser. The leadoff single is “One Step Away.”

“People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong,” Madonna says in a statement. “The dance floor is not just a place, it’s a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language.”

Nine Inch Nails, Boys Noize Recorded Collab LP ‘in Studios, Hotels, Planes’ All Over

Nine Inch Nails‘ collaborations with Boys Noize began in 2024 when the German EDM producer remixed Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ Challengers soundtrack, and it blossomed last year when NIN made a short set of songs with Boys Noize a centerpiece of their Peel It Back tour. Now they’re releasing a unique, “purely electronic” full-length Nine Inch Noize album recorded “all over the place – some of it’s live, some in studios, hotels, planes, etc.,” according to Reznor, on Friday. The album is available to pre-save and preorder now.

“The creative fulfillment of working on the Challengers and Tron scores with Boys Noize led me to think that including him in the Peel It Back tour could be an interesting way to express NIN in more purely electronic terms live — a concept I’ve wanted to explore for some time,” Reznor said in a statement. “The result was so much fun for us we felt it was worth expanding and formalizing in some way.

Katy Perry Under Police Investigation Over Ruby Rose’s Sexual Assault Claims

Police in Australia are investigating claims that Katy Perry sexually assaulted actress Ruby Rose during a night out at a Melbourne nightclub in 2010, a police spokesperson confirmed to Rolling Stone.

“Melbourne Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010,” a spokesperson for the Victoria Police said in a statement on Wednesday. “Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD. As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”

Get Ready for Ticket Prices to Keep Rising

Back in the Nineties, Pearl Jam famously sued Ticketmaster in an unsuccessful effort to rein in the runaway costs of attending a concert. These days, many are raising the same concerns — like Doc McGhee, Kiss’ longtime manager. In the late 1970s, when he was a young man on the rock scene, top concert tickets cost $10 to $11 (or about $50 to $55 in today’s dollars). Last year, according to Pollstar, the industry trade that monitors touring, the average ticket price had soared to around $132. That’s an increase of 38 percent just since 2019, when they cost a comparatively affordable $96.17. “It’s up to us,” McGhee says. “Until people say, ‘We’re not going,’ the prices are going up.”

This summer, that appears to be true. Entry to one of Harry Styles’ 30 dates at Madison Square Garden could cost you as much as $1,000; Alan Jackson’s sold-out touring finale at a Nashville stadium is prompting scalper prices of more than $5,000.
