Pink Dazzled the Gold Coast Carrara’s Heritage Bank Stadium with her Summer Carnival tour. This wasn’t just any concert – it was a delightful mix of her iconic music, theatrics, and circus acrobatics that had every one of the 40,000 fans’ eyes glued to the stage.
The first time, P!nk has brought her stadium-sized performance to Australia, and it was clear she pulled out all the stops. Imagine her soaring through the air like a seasoned trapeze artist, all while belting out her hits. The stage lit up in a kaleidoscope of colours, setting the scene for a night of high-energy entertainment that featured a talented crew of singers, dancers, and musicians.
The creative stage setup had all sorts of fun surprises, from a giant mouth that reminded you of a classic rock album cover to pink flamingos and disco balls. And let’s not forget the candy flying through the air – a sweet touch for the fans.
P!nk’s connection with the audience was electric. She shared how thrilled she was to perform in such a beautiful place, hinting at her wonderful stay at The Langham on the Gold Coast. Her opening set was a powerhouse of popular tunes that had everyone singing along, reminding us why we’ve loved her music for so long.
What stood out wasn’t just the visual spectacle or the nostalgia of the songs but P!nk’s incredible voice and her boundless energy. She moved seamlessly from one song to the next, barely taking a breath, yet still found moments to chat and connect with the crowd.
Among the musical highlights was her heartfelt rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love,” a song she fell in love with through Adele’s cover. Her cover of Pat Benatar’s “Heartbreaker” was another standout moment, showcasing her versatile talent.
A particularly touching moment came when P!nk performed “Cover Me in Sunshine” with her daughter, Willow. It was a heartwarming display of their close bond and a sweet reminder of the joy of family. Willow’s performance earned some of the loudest cheers of the night, a proud moment for P!nk.
The show wrapped up with an exhilarating aerial stunt during “So What,” a signature move that left the audience in awe. Despite a tram strike making the journey a bit more challenging, the 40,000 fans who packed the stadium would likely agree it was worth every effort to witness such an unforgettable show.
