Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull can’t get enough of their hometown—and vice versa—as they return for their second concert of the year.

If you’re looking for someone to root for in the summer concert tour competitio­n, Enrique Iglesias can be your hero, and Pitbull, too, as they return to their hometown of Miami for the second time in three months, bringing the heat to Americanai­rlines Arena on September 30. Co-headlining one of the biggest tours in the country, the duo raked in $18 million from their first 15 shows, which puts them at number two on the list of 2017’s topgrossin­g summer tours, behind only Sting.

Supplying both massive dance beats and swoony ballads, the pop stars are playing all the hits, including “Fireball,” “Culo,” and “Feel This Moment” from Pitbull and “Bailando,” “Escape,” and “Bailamos” from Iglesias. It’s an all-night, on-your-feet affair that fans are sure to be raving about for years. And for those whose taste leans more toward rock, Iglesias has been known to toss in a few covers as well, like “Seven Nation Army” and “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”

Longtime friends, Pitbull and Iglesias have toured together before and collaborat­ed on the hit “Messin’ Around.” As their star power grew, the bromance blossomed—no doubt based partly on their shared love for Miami: Iglesias grew up here and, with longtime partner Anna Kournikova, remains a resident of the city, upgrading mansions every so often. Pitbull, of course, is Mr. 305—a first-generation Cubanameri­can born in Miami.

Together, Pitbull, Iglesias, and about 20,000 of their closest friends are primed for an unforgetta­ble show. If you love Miami as much as they do, it’s a party you won’t want to miss. Americanai­rlines Arena, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, 786-777-1000; aaarena.com
