It was like the Irish summer finally willed itself into being last night at the Aviva in Dublin, courtesy of one song. American superstar Pink flew down from the top of the stage in an aerial stunt worthy of Cirque du Soleil, going straight into her high-octane anthem Get This Party Started.

“Get this party started on a Saturday night,” she sang, 10 metres in the air, beneath her, male dancers race across the stage in pink flamingo floats.
