On the heels of his successful “Party After Dark Tour” across the globe, Pitbull is ready to be part of an even bigger party. The Miami-born rapper known for major hits like “Timber” and “Fireball” will headline the inaugural Party in the Park, a single-day hip-hop music festival taking place Nov. 8 at Gilbert Regional Park in Gilbert, Arizona.

The festival is produced by indie company Activated Events, which has put on Boots In The Park, Coastal Country Jam and The Smoke Show. Other performers on the bill for the first-ever Party in the Park event include Shaggy, Ginuwine, Ying Yang Twins, Baby Bash and MIMS. Additional artists will be announced at a later date.

“We’re beyond excited to bring Party in the Park to life in Gilbert,” Steve Thacher, CEO of Activated Events, said in a statement. “Arizona has embraced Boots in the Park and The Smoke Show, and we knew it was time to bring something fresh, fun, and full of energy. Pitbull is the perfect artist to kick things off. Arizona is in for a party it won’t forget!”
