Love was in the air as global superstar P!NK kicked off the UK leg of her Summer Carnival world tour..
The 44-year-old singer, real name Alecia Beth Moore, got the party started in Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Tuesday (June 11) night, returning to the Welsh capital for the first time in five years following her sold-out show at the stadium back in 2019.
From the moment she appeared between a set of giant sparkly lips 50-feet up in the air, the songstress delivered a high-energy, technicolour, hit-packed, acrobatic and gorgeously flamboyant live show like no other, that kept the 57,000-strong crowd up on their feet for over two hours.

Despite announcing to the world she had a stomach bug just hours before taking to the stage, P!NK still delivered one of the most exciting shows to land on UK shores, and proved once again that she’s one of the best live performers in the world.
From stomping dance routines, colourful costumes, and stunning carnival-inspired staging, she performed hits from across her extensive and acclaimed catalogue from beautifully haunting stripped-back numbers to joyous singalongs and energetic bangers, all intertwined with her signature majestic aerial stunts on-stage and in the air.
As well as breathtaking aerial stunts whipping the huge crowd into a frenzy, which continued on throughout the show packed with many of her biggest hits including Raise Your Glass, What About Us, Trustfall and, Cover Me In Sunshine, which saw her daughter Willow, 12, join her on stage.
At one point, P!nk halted the monumental show to congratulate one loved-up couple in the crowd as they told her they'd just got engaged. She told the pair: "The first 20 years are the hardest and then it's so easy. Congratulations! You know I'm an officiate, I have a little licence."
Bringing the mesmerising gig to a close, P!NK took to the skies to belt out her smash-hit single So What, flying over the audience on her custom-design cable system.
Following her show in the Welsh capital, P!nk will head to London to make her debut at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for two nights on June 15 and 16, before returning to the hallowed grounds of Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 24 and 25 and then bringing a close to the UK leg of the tour at Glasgow’s Hampden Park on June 28 and 29.
Over three million fans have already witnessed the epic show putting her Summer Carnival Tour on track to be one of the biggest-selling tours of all time.
