Pitbull to attempt unusual world record bid at BST Hyde Park

  • Latin hip hop artist Pitbull and London's British Summer Time (BST) festival are seeking volunteers for a Guinness World Record attempt.
  • The record bid is for the largest gathering of people wearing bald caps, to take place during Pitbull's performance at Hyde Park on Friday, 10 July.
  • The festival is appealing for "legends who can count" to help officially verify the record, with both ticket holders and non-ticket holders eligible to sign up.
  • Volunteers will be permitted to stay and watch Pitbull's show after assisting with the count.
  • The unusual idea originated from a text message by BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James and follows a viral trend where fans imitate Pitbull by wearing bald caps at his concerts.
