American Express presents Roundhay Festival, the newest addition to Leeds, UK’s 2026 summer cultural calendar, is excited to announce special guests, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, who will join Pitbull on Friday 3 July

The announcement lands on Cinco de Mayo, marking the addition of one of Mexico’s most culturally influential bands to Pitbull’s first-ever Leeds headline show. Los Tucanes join previously announced Jason Derulo, Tinie Tempah and Lil Jon with more acts to be unveiled very soon. 

Tickets for Mr Worldwide’s debut Leeds show are on sale now: www.roundhayfestival.com.

Mexican norteño band Los Tucanes de Tijuana are famous for their live performances. With over 12 million listeners on Spotify, they are known for their bright, buoyant sound coupled with social commentary which has made them one of the most respected groups in this Mexican genre. Pitbull himself is a collaborator, releasing a remix of their song “La Chona” last year with lead songwriter Mario Quintero Lara.

Los Tucanes are synonymous with the boom of norteño music in the 90s and 2000s, with the release of beloved songs “El Tucanazo”, “La Chona” and “Vivir de Noche” earning praise from Rolling Stone and more. Los Tucanes influence and cultural impact is phenomonal. In 2012, the band won a Latin GRAMMY for their album 365 Días and they made history as the first norteño group to perform at Coachella. Coming up on almost 40 years as a band, Los Tucanes will have Roundhay Park dancing away in an unforgettable summer set. And if their 25 million albums worldwide and 30 platinum records tell us anything, it’s an event you won’t want to miss.

International superstar Pitbull has sold more than 25 million studio albums and has more than 60 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms. The star has worked with everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Christina Aguilera to Usher and many more. With mega hits including “Don’t Stop the Party”, “Timber”, “Hotel Room Service”, “Time of Our Lives”, “Give Me Everything”, “Fireball” and “Get On The Floor” the Grammy Award winner has secured his place as not only one of the pre-eminent figures in Latin music and hip hop, but as one of the biggest names in the pop world.

With Pitbull in the driving seat, joined by Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Jason Derulo, Tinie Tempah and Lil Jon, this will be the undisputed party of the year.

With nearly 250 million followers across media platforms, Jason Derulo is a true multi-platform powerhouse and ranks among the top pop and urban artists of this or any era.  While he may be recognizable worldwide as a multiplatinum singer and songwriter, Jason’s story starts unassumingly. The self-described, “Kid from a Haitian family in Miami,” has quietly and consistently grinded to emerge as one of his generation’s most prolific artists.   With over 250 million singles sold and tens of billions of streams, his catalog includes platinum and multiplatinum generational anthems like “Talk Dirty [feat. 2 Chainz],” “Wiggle,” “Swalla,” and “Savage Love,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts in 16 countries.  Whether collaborating with BTS, Nicki Minaj, Luke Bryan, or Michael Bublé, Derulo continues to blend genre, culture, and global sound with ease. His viral hit “Snake” with Nora Fatehi has racked up over 124 million views. Jason Derulo is also one of the most-followed males on TikTok and a top 10 largest music artist account overall, proving he’s as influential online as he is on the charts.

The global hitmaker continues his momentum with his latest single, “Sexy For Me,” alongside his new album, The Last Dance (Part 1). Over the past year, Derulo has been captivating audiences worldwide with his Last Dance World Tour, and now he’ll be bringing those vibes to Roundhay Park for Pitbull’s headlining show.

When Tinie Tempah exploded onto the scene with “Pass Out” in 2010, he didn’t just score a hit, he rewrote the blueprint for UK rap forever. Over fifteen years later, with 3 Top Ten albums, 7 number ones, and a cultural legacy that paved the way for Britain’s Black music revolution, Tinie Tempah remains the architect of his own unstoppable momentum. From sold-out arenas to festival headlines, from chart domination to cultural zeitgeist moments, Tinie Tempah has consistently proven that longevity in this game isn’t about luck, it’s about evolution. His latest singles ‘Eat It Up’ and ‘Living Life’ make a statement of intent: Tinie Tempah isn’t just back, he’s here to remind everyone why he’s been the standard-setter all along. The game may have changed since 2010, but the throne remains his…

Louder and larger than life, Lil Jon is the undisputed king of crunk and one of hip-hop’s most influential hitmakers. Rising out of Atlanta’s club scene with Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, he helped define the Dirty South sound with era-shaping anthems like “Get Low,” alongside landmark productions including Usher’s Grammy-winning “Yeah!” and “Snap Yo Fingers.” With a string of gold and platinum albums and a catalogue that spans hip-hop, pop and EDM, most notably the global smash “Turn Down for What” with DJ Snake, Lil Jon has remained a dominant force in music for over two decades. Renowned for his live sets, he now brings that same high-octane presence to Roundhay Park as part of this year’s line up.
