Enrique Iglesias Announces Tour with Pitbull & Prince Royce!

Holy trio of hotness! Enrique Iglesias announced his Fall tour yesterday and as if the sultry Spanish singer wasn't enough to make most chicas go crazy, Mr. Worldwide himself (our Hot Guys issue cover model), Pitbull, and up-and-coming bachata sensation Prince Royce will be joining him. We can already hear the high voltage screams of teen girls all over the country!

Sure, we were sort of bummed when Iglesias pulled out of Britney Spears world tour, but we can't say we're disappointed by this lineup. The tour is scheduled to start on September 22 in Boston and end, appropriately enough, in Enrique and Pitbull's home town of Miami on October 22. There are 20 tour stops currently scheduled, but we have to say, we wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this tour gets extended, it's sure to sell out.

“I’m so excited to go out in the States, and this time with my good friends Pitbull and Prince Royce. It’s going to be a great show and we hope to see all of you out there. This tour will be unforgettable!” Iglesias said in a statement released to press.

Pitbull is also looking forward to the concert series: “Being on tour with Enrique Iglesias and Prince Royce proves that unity through music is still a driving force in our community. It will be a show full of energy and the fans will have a good time.”
Of course, the young Prince Royce is super excited to be in such good company, saying, “It is an honor to have been invited by Enrique to be part of this tour alongside him and Pitbull. This is what dreams are made of and I plan to enjoy every moment of it doing what I love most, performing for our fans.”
