AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas and Texas Athletics are thrilled to announce international superstar Pitbull will perform in front of the iconic UT Tower at UT's SEC Celebration, an all-day party across the University of Texas campus on Sunday, June 30. The event, brought to you in part by Motorola Razr, Still Austin Whiskey and the University's Extended Campus, is FREE admission and commemorates the Longhorns' move to the Southeastern Conference, the premier conference in college athletics.
Born Armando Christian Pérez, Pitbull rose to fame in 2004 with his debut album "M.I.A.M.I." Known as Mr. Worldwide, he has captivated audiences globally with his unique blend of Latin-infused beats and catchy lyrics. With a career spanning over two decades, he has solidified himself as one of the most influential artists in the music industry. His chart-topping hits including "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)," "Timber," "Feel This Moment," "Give Me Everything," and "Rain Over Me" have contributed to more than 13 billion streams on Spotify alone. Pitbull has also earned numerous awards, including a Grammy, Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards and Latin Grammys.
"What a historic day and moment for Texas," said Chris Del Conte, Vice President and Folger Family Athletics Director. "We are so excited to welcome the burnt orange faithful back to the Forty Acres to celebrate Texas with all of our traditions, pride and passion. This is an amazing moment in time for the University, Athletics and the city of Austin as we join the SEC, and there's no better way to celebrate than with a giant party, and we can't wait for Pitbull to put a punctuation mark on an incredible day."
Pitbull's performance will cap off an action-packed day on the Forty Acres. Beginning at 1 p.m., the SEC Celebration will feature interactive games and activities for the entire family, including signature activations fans will recognize from Texas Football game days such as a Ferris wheel, giant fun slide, Longhorns inflatable games, and more! Among the day's highlights will be the official SEC Ceremony at the UT Tower at 8:30 p.m., featuring SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, Chairman of The University of Texas System Board of Regents Kevin Eltife, University of Texas President Jay Hartzell, and Del Conte. This ceremony will mark a historic moment as the Longhorns are officially welcomed into the SEC, followed by a spectacular fireworks show from the Tower.
