American superstar Pink will kick off the European leg of her Summer Carnival Tour on Tuesday, getting the party started in front of a sell-out crowd in Wales.
Tens of thousands of fans will arrive in Cardiff ahead of Tuesday’s concert, with authorities warning of possible traffic disruptions on the M4 motorway, while a railway line out of the city will be closed.
The singer will return to the UK for the first time in five years for the show at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, with a full city center road closure from mid-afternoon.
She will begin her European leg in the Welsh capital, then head to London, Dublin, Liverpool, and Glasgow before nine concerts on the European mainland.
Triple Grammy Award winner Pink, 44, said she was excited to be back in Wales during the month that the Principality Stadium celebrates its quarter-century.
“It’s been way too long since I’ve been in Wales,” added Pink, whose hits include Get The Party Started, Just Give Me a Reason, and So What.
The Summer Carnival tour is in support of the singer’s ninth studio album, Trustfall, which was released last year, and her first concert since her show in Queensland, Australia, in March.
Who are Pink’s supporting acts?
Irish rock band The Script, American singer-songwriter Gayle, and DJ KidCutUp are listed as special guests.
They will be warming up fans for Pink, whose Summer Carnival tour dates last year saw her singing beside a giant rainbow beach ball while dancers bounced on trampolines.
