Forget hair today, gone tomorrow! This week, The Crystal Maze Experience is celebrating one of music’s most iconic bald stars by offering free entry to anyone wearing a bald cap.
To mark Pitbull’s headline performance in Hyde Park on 10th July, where thousands of fans are expected to don bald caps, white shirts and aviators in tribute to the global star and in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record, The Crystal Maze Experience is inviting wannabe Mr Worldwides and original Maze Master Richard O’Brien’s alike, to put their new looks to good use by taking on the attraction free of charge.
The hilarious, hairless promotion comes as new research has revealed that baldness has never been cooler. In a survey of 2,000 UK adults, conducted by The Crystal Maze Experience, three in five (62%) Brits say being bald is more fashionable now that it was 10 years ago. And Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is most responsible for this, as he tops the list of Brits’ favourite bald celebrities, in a list that includes Pitbull himself, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham and Alan Shearer.
Brits’ top 20 favourite bald celebrities:
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

And it’s good news for The Crystal Maze’s own Richard O’Brien, as he’s voted the 12th favourite British bald celeb, with his fabulous fashion flair a hit for Brits.
The research also found that Brits associate baldness with humour (19%), confidence (18%), strength (16%), and friendliness (16%), showing that bald is truly back in business. And it’s Millennials that say bald is cool as one in five (18%) 25–34-year-olds agree.
Bow Plant, General Manager at The Crystal Maze Experience, said: “Pitbull fans have turned the bald cap into an iconic part of the concert experience, so we thought we’d reward anyone willing to embrace the look. The Crystal Maze Experience has always celebrated people who don’t take themselves too seriously, just like Richard O’Brien, so whether you’re heading to Hyde Park or simply fancy unleashing your inner Mr Worldwide, pop on a bald cap and come put your skills to the test. Judging by our research, bald has officially become one of Britain’s coolest looks.”
Inspired by the cult TV classic, The Crystal Maze Experience throws you into five fantastically themed zones; Industrial, Medieval, Futuristic, Aztec in both London and Manchester, and London’s brand-new Ocean zone, where you’ll take on a mix of mental, physical and skill-based challenges, all building up to the iconic Crystal Dome.
Since opening its London doors 10 years ago in 2016, The Crystal Maze Experience has welcomed a million adventurers, becoming one of the capital’s most unique and beloved attractions, and the world’s longest-running continuous immersive experiences.
Whether you’re channelling Pitbull, The Rock, Jason Statham or Richard O’Brien, The Crystal Maze Experience wants to see your best bald look. Guests who book a free ticket with the code baldisback and arrive wearing a bald cap at The Crystal Maze Experience between 10-12th July will gain entry.
