This is Pitbull’s call-out for a London venue.

We love a gloriously random Bank Holiday plan — and this one has properly made us smile at Girl About HQ.

F1® Arcade in St Paul’s is hosting a Pitbull lookalike competition, and frankly, how could we not tell you about it? Dust off the shades, embrace the bald-cap energy and get ready to channel your finest Mr Worldwide.

Whether you’re a dead ringer or just in it for the fun, this sounds like the kind of brilliantly silly day out we can absolutely get behind.

 

Pitbull Lookalike Competition

  • Pitbull lookalike competition taking place in St Paul’s during Miami Grand Prix weekend
  • Competition kicks off at 3:05pm on Saturday 2nd May at F1® Arcade
  • £1,000 bar tab prize awarded to the closest lookalike
  • Continue onto a ‘Miami in London’ takeover with free cocktails, DJs and themed menu

Taking place at 3:05pm on Saturday 2nd May, the competition invites guests to suit up, throw on the shades and embody the global icon. For those looking to perfect their look, bald caps and signature sunglasses will be available on-site for participants. There will also be free cocktails to everyone visiting F1® Arcade over early Bank Holiday weekend.

The winner of the lookalike competition will be saying “Dale!” all the way to the bar, with a £1,000 tab to enjoy at F1® Arcade St Paul’s.

The competition fits nicely into F1® Arcade’s wider Miami Grand Prix celebrations, with venues in London and Birmingham transformed into neon-lit, palm-tree-filled party destinations inspired by South Beach.

Expect live DJs spinning Miami beats, a high-energy beach party atmosphere, free cocktails all weekend long and an exclusive food menu including the ‘305’ taco selection.

From the moment guests arrive, they’ll be transported straight to Ocean Drive, with immersive racing simulators, big-screen race-day coverage and a non-stop party atmosphere bringing the glamour and adrenaline of Formula 1® together with Miami nightlife energy.

And once the winner is crowned, the party doesn’t stop there – guests are invited to carry on the celebrations at F1® Arcade, keeping the energy high well into the evening and right through to the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday 3rd May.

Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight for the competition, cheering from the crowd or diving into the racing action, this is set to be one of the most electric Bank Holiday weekends in London.
