Pitbull Goes Worldwide at Jiffy Lube Live

There’s a kind of late-summer night that Jiffy Lube Live seems built for, and a Pitbull show might be its purest expression. The August 19 stop on his I’m Back Tour was sold out, and from the parking lot on, the place already felt like a party waiting to happen.

What stood out before Mr. Worldwide ever hit the stage was the crowd itself: every age, every background, every kind of group you could imagine, all packed into Bristow for the same reason. If you’ve caught any of Pitbull’s shows here over the past three years, you already know the pattern. It’s a sold-out house and a night that feels less like a concert than a block party the size of an amphitheater.
