Pink is set to headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park in June as part of her huge Summer Carnival 2023.
The So What pop megastar has announced six huge outdoor shows as she heads back to these shoes for the first time since her Beautiful Trauma World Tour in 2019.
In a statement, she said: ‘It’s been a long three years and I’ve missed live music so so much…. So it’s finally time! I am so excited to get back to the UK and Europe to sing, cry, sweat and make new memories with my friends. It’s going to be magical!’
The singer kicks off the run with two nights at the University of Bolton Stadium on June 7 and June 8, followed by a pair of gigs at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on June 10 and June 11.
She will then play Birmingham’s Villa Park on June 14, before headlining American Express Presents BST Hyde Park in London on June 24, with specials guests for all dates to be announced in due course.
The announcement comes after the Get The Party Started hitmaker stole the show at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in Los Angeles last week, joining Queen and Foo Fighters for a rousing cover of Somebody To Love.
