It’s time to get the party started, Newcastle - US pop powerhouse P!NK is coming to town!
The three-time Grammy Award winner will be bringing her massive Summer Carnival tour - her first-ever Australian stadium tour - to McDonald Jones Stadium on Tuesday 13 February 2024.
The show will be P!NK’s first in the city since 2009 when she brought the Funhouse tour to the Newcastle Entertainment Centre.
It’s also another major coup for McDonald Jones Stadium - that recently hosted Sir Elton John over two huge nights in January.
“I am so excited to finally get a chance to tour Australia and New Zealand in the summer! I can’t wait to bring the Summer Carnival Tour to my home away from home, and smile and sing together until our cheeks hurt. Summer 2024 can’t come soon enough,” the superstar said in a statement.
Venues NSW and McDonald Jones Stadium CEO Kerrie Mather said it was exciting to team up with Live Nation to bring Pink to McDonald Jones Stadium for the first time.
“It's now well known among promoters and artists around the world that Newcastle is home to a fantastic stadium that delivers extraordinary experiences for patrons and artists alike," Ms Mather said.
“P!NK’s live shows are something that must be seen to be believed, and we can’t wait to welcome the music icon to Newcastle early next year.”
Since hitting the scene back in 2000, P!NK has sold more than 60 million albums worldwide thanks to such smash hit singles as So What, Get The Party Started, Raise Your Glass, and Just Give Me A Reason.
She is the recipient of three Grammy Awards (twenty-one nominations), one Daytime Emmy Award, seven MTV Video Music Awards including the 2017 Vanguard Award recipient, two MTV Europe Awards, two People’s Choice Awards, was named Billboard’s Woman of the Year in 2013, and received The Brits Outstanding Contribution To Music Award in 2019.
In 2021 P!NK was also the Billboard Music Awards Icon Recipient.
Obviously never one to rest on her laurels, P!NK is due to release her ninth studio album Trustfall on later this month.
P!nk’s Summer Carnival tour will roll into McDonald Jones Stadium on Tuesday 13 February. Tickets are on sale from 12pm on Friday 17 February here.
