Pitbull Brings the Party Back to North America with Lil Jon on ‘I’m Back’ Tour

Posted on by

pitbullPitbull is heading back out on the road across North America with a new tour fittingly titled I’m Back, and he’s bringing Lil Jon along for the ride. The run marks one of his biggest regional outings yet, leaning fully into the high-energy, crowd-first approach that’s defined his live shows for years.

The tour kicks off May 14 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and stretches through the summer, hitting major amphitheaters and stadiums across the U.S. and Canada before wrapping up in late September. Stops include venues like the Hollywood Bowl, Hersheypark Stadium, and Jones Beach, among others.

Pitbull’s live reputation has been built on consistency and scale, his tours regularly rank among the highest-grossing, and his last run, Party After Dark, was the biggest solo tour of his career. Adding Lil Jon to the lineup signals a clear direction for this tour: loud, familiar, and unapologetically built for mass participation.

The North American dates follow a large Europe and UK leg, continuing a touring strategy that keeps Pitbull firmly in the global live circuit nearly two decades into his career.

DREAME’s massive booth leans into smart home appliances at scale, while CHiQ continues positioning itself as a design-forward consumer electronics brand.

Elsewhere, GDU and RICTOR / Kuickwheel showcase alternative mobility ideas, from rugged drones to hybrid personal transport concepts that blur the line between vehicle and gadget.

At the entrance of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Deloitte’s Formula E car greets attendees immediately, setting the tone before anyone even steps onto the show floor.

CES 2026 Day One: Robots Everywhere, AI in Everything

Posted on by

In the early days of CES 2026, AI and robotics are everywhere. Nearly every hall and booth is showing some version of intelligent tech, whether it’s built into hardware, vehicles, or standalone machines.

Humanoid robots from companies like AGIBOT and robotic dogs such as the ROVER X1 are common sights on the show floor, making robotics feel less experimental and more expected this year.

LG is showing both consumer-facing products and behind-the-scenes technology, including its ultra-thin OLED evo W6 wallpaper TV and Actuator AXIUM, a compact motion system tied to future device movement and interaction.

Elsewhere, more practical tech is drawing attention. Maxwheel’s electric scooters point toward everyday mobility, while companies like HBE Energy and ENEOS are focused on infrastructure and energy solutions shaping how connected systems operate at scale.

Posted on by

jimmy-douglassThe Recording Academy will mark the 25th anniversary of its Producers & Engineers Wing during GRAMMY Week 2026 by honoring five-time GRAMMY winner Jimmy “The Senator” Douglass. The celebration will take place on January 28, just days ahead of the 2026 GRAMMY Awards.

Douglass, a veteran producer, engineer, and mixer, is being recognized for a career spanning more than four decades and collaborations across multiple genres. His credits range from early work with artists such as Aretha Franklin, Foreigner, and Led Zeppelin to later collaborations with Timbaland on projects by JAY-Z, Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake, and others.

Originally scheduled to be honored in 2025, Douglass’ recognition was postponed following changes to GRAMMY Week programming amid Los Angeles wildfire response efforts. The 2026 event will now coincide with the Producers & Engineers Wing’s milestone anniversary.

Founded in 2001, the Producers & Engineers Wing represents thousands of music creators working behind the scenes in recording, mixing, production, and audio technology.
