Florida natives Pitbull, T-Pain headed on joint tour, 26 shows. But none in Sunshine State
Mr. Worldwide is ready to "party after dark" across North America this summer. But not in his home state?
Pitbull announced his upcoming Party After Dark Tour set to span over 26 cities with special guests Lil Jon and fellow Floridian T-Pain joining select dates.
Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off on Aug. 21, 2024, in Bristow, Virginia, making stops across the U.S. before wrapping in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Oct. 5. But despite two famous Floridians leading the tour, many fans noticed there were no dates in Florida.
"No FL?! On a Pitbull and T-Pain tour? This is blasphemy," wrote one Instagram user under the announcement. Other fans voiced their disbelief, one writing "make it make sense."

Still want to party with Pitbull and T-Pain? Here's what to know about the tour and how to get tickets.
Where is Pitbull from? Obviously, Mr. 305 is from the 305
Armando Christian Pérez, better known by his stage name Pitbull, was born and raised in Miami. Known as Mr. 305 (or Mr. Worldwide, depends on who you ask), he has proclaimed his love for his hometown in multiple songs throughout his career.
Where is T-Pain from in Florida?
As for T-Pain, his hometown is on the opposite end of the state.
Faheem Rashad Najm, born in Tallahassee in 1985, grew up on Ridge Road. Even his stage name pays tribute to his city, with the “T” in T-Pain's name stands for Tallahassee.

Pitbull's Party After Dark Tour isn't coming to Florida. What's the closest tour date to Florida?
While the tour isn't going to the Sunshine State, the tour will still get close. Kind of.
The nearest "Party After Dark" tour date to Florida is only a 12-hour drive to Virginia Beach, Virginia or you can head to St. Louis, Missouri, which is a roughly 12 and a half hour drive from the northern end of the state.
Will they announce more dates for Pitbull's Party After Dark Tour?
As of April 24, Pitbull has not alluded to more dates coming to his tour. So Florida won't be able to party after dark with the stars for right now.
