Key Highlights :
P!NK promised fans a “fantasy feat of a lifetime” before she embarked on her world tour, and she certainly delivered. On June 7, the American singer and songwriter took to the stage at the University of Bolton Stadium and wowed concert-goers with her kindness, humour, and of course, her much-loved singing voice.
Before P!NK took the stage, The Script asked the audience if they were ready for the ‘incredible’ and ‘electrifying’ singer. And they were not disappointed. P!NK began the evening up in the sky sat in between a pair of lips, dressed in a glittery and sequined outfit with platform boots and of course, she wore a pop of pink in the form of eyeshadow.
From listening to P!NK’s tracks as a child and through my teens, I never expected her voice to be even more beautiful in person. Her ability to win the crowd over and bring a stadium together is unmatched. The whole stage and theme of the tour encapsulated summer, and it was such a feel-good vibe in the stadium. There were smiles all round, well-thought-out staging, and so many amazing costume changes for the rockstar. The choreography, lighting, and costume were all beautifully put together for an emotional, heart-warming, inspiring, and engaging performance.
Throughout the gig, P!NK sang some of her classics including Beautiful Trauma, Just Give Me A Reason, and Raise your Glass, as well as showcasing her new tracks including Trustfall and Never Gonna Not Dance Again. During the well-loved track, Cover Me in Sunshine, a special surprise guest wowed the audience, leaving shivers and emotions running high.
The ending of the concert was phenomenal. Without giving away any spoilers, the acrobatic performances were incredible throughout the whole show, with everyone screaming, singing, and smiling from ear to ear. An atmosphere that is unforgettable.
P!NK thanked the audience for being there, saying she was honoured to be in their company and couldn’t stop ‘smiling ear to ear’. She said: “I haven’t talked to people in so long, so much has happened, we have been through so much, haven’t we? I freaking love you. I am so happy and every single person on this stage and behind it, their cheeks hurt from smiling to be here with you. It is my honour to be here with you all.”
P!NK sang a total of 23 songs with fans not once taking a break from singing along with her. It was a great night and a great start to the Summer Carnival Tour 2023 here in Bolton. Thanks to P!NK, fans experienced a “fantasy feat of a lifetime” that they will never forget.
