Pitbull coming to Jones Beach, Daddy Yankee to UBS Arena

Long Island is about to get a double dose of rap royalty as Pitbull plays Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on Aug. 5 and Daddy Yankee takes over UBS Arena at Belmont Park when he brings his farewell tour “La Última Vuelta” (The Last Round) to Elmont on Dec. 9.

Pitbull, who will be supported by Iggy Azalea, is set to release a new album called “Timeless” in the near future. Meanwhile Daddy Yankee recently dropped his first album in 10 years, “Legendaddy,” which he announced will also be his last.

“I’m announcing my retirement from music by giving you my best production and my best concert tour,” said the 45-year-old reggaeton superstar in a statement. “I will say goodbye celebrating these 32 years of experience with this new collectors’ item, the album ‘Legendaddy.’ I’m going to give you all the styles that have defined me, in one single album.”

Tickets for Pitbull’s show go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. via ticketmaster.com.
