Pitbull brought the energetic Miami club scene to London on Friday night as he played to a sold out crowd of 20,000 fans at the 02 Arena.

The star, 44, real name Armando Christian Pérez, returned to the UK on his European Party After Dark Tour with special guest Lil Jon – and did not disappoint his fans.

And as is tradition at Pitbull concerts – those attending showed their dedication to the star by dressing up as him – in white shirts, black suits, bald caps and dark shades.

The Florida-born star is known for this look and many recreated it as they headed to the 02 – including Radio 1 presenter Greg James. 

During the performance Pitbull gave a special shout-out to the fans who had made the extra effort with their outfits.

Speaking to the fans who were busy enjoying his catchy tunes, he said: ‘Now I wanna say a special thank you to everybody who came out with bald caps here tonight.
