experience with platinum selling artist, Grammy Award Winner and
worldwide star, Pitbull, will go on sale today, September 16th. Fans can purchase tickets

LiveXLive will exclusively produce and air two unique global
pay-per-view ("PPV") events with Mr. Worldwide during National

October 17th at 8:00 pm
ET/5:00 pm PT.
In addition, Pitbull will be launching his new podcast
'Negative to Positive' on LiveXLive's leading podcast
network, PodcastOne, on September
23rd. With strong advertiser support the podcast
and vodcast will kick off with legendary artists such as
Flo Rida, Lil Jon and noted producer Uncle Luke aka
Luther Campbell from 2 Live
Crew.
This livestream PPV performance is an experience that will allow
fans from all over the world to dance and party in their living
rooms or backyards while enjoying a safe viewing of the global
sensation, Mr. Worldwide. With two unique events filling your home
with music, a major dance party and the joy of Pitbull's
performance, each show will have unique setlists as well as
additional surprises. The events will be streamed from Pitbull's
SLAM! Charter School in Miami.
Pitbull has created over 10 charter schools around the country with
an integrated academic approach focusing on Sports, Leadership,
Arts and Management in a general learning environment primarily
focusing on underserved youth. Pre-COVID, it was Pitbull's
intention to host these events as a graduate and teacher
appreciation celebration.
The full performance on LiveXLive will include a variety of
ticket options including merch, as well as a package to view both
shows. Premium tiered pricing includes exclusive merchandise, a
package including tickets to both performances and other
event-exclusive perks. Ticket prices start at $14.99 with bundles available for both shows and
exclusive merch starting today on LiveXLive.com.
"It's an honor to partner with LiveXLive on our first global
pay-per-view concert 'Live and Timeless' and podcast 'Negative to
Positive'," said Armando Christian
Perez (Pitbull). "The pay-per-view concert is going to be a
good time, it will allow fans around the globe to escape,
especially with everything that's happening in the world right now.
We are going to get loose, wild and off the chain, Dale!"
"Our partnership with Pitbull, with both his livestream concert
performances as well as his future podcast and vodcast franchise,
defines the potency of compelling livestream digital entertainment
and content. His performances in October will be filled with great
heart, energy and soul, bringing joy to his fan base that spans the
globe," stated Dermot McCormack,
president of LiveXLive.
