Pink adds Tones and I to her Summer Carnival Australian tour

Pink has made two big announcements about her upcoming Australian stadium tour – including adding a new stop to the tour.

Pop superstar Pink has today revealed the support act for her upcoming Australian stadium tour: homegrown Dance Monkey singer Tones and I.

It comes as Pink also adds two more shows to the tour, her first time playing stadiums in Australia – with touring company Live Nation revealing that more than 725,000 tickets have already been snapped up.

The singer has been one of this country’s most popular touring acts over the past 20 years, completing multiple exhaustive arena tours, each with dozens of shows – her 2009 Funhouse tour broke the record for the biggest tour in the country’s history at the time, with more than 660,000 people attending.

But she’s never played stadiums in this country – until now. The Summer Carnival stadium tour is set to kick off at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on February 9, before moving around the country.

The two newly-announced shows are a fourth and final show at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on March 13, and new tour-closing show at Queensland Country bank Stadium in Townsville on March 23. It’ll be a rare Far North Queensland performance for an international touring act, with most big tours not making it further than Brisbane.

Tones and I will open for Pink at all shows.

Tones And I’s addition to the tour comes after a big few years for the Melbourne-born singer-songwriter, who burst onto the scene in 2019 with the inescapable global smash single Dance Monkey.

Since then, she’s clocked up several more platinum-selling singles, including Bad Child, Fly Away and Cloudy Day. She’s scheduled to play as Pink’s opener across all 16 shows of the Summer Carnival tour.

“Can’t wait to see your pretty faces sooooon,” Pink tweeted, announcing the news today.

The Live Nation pre-sale for the two new shows commences on Thursday August 17; with Melbourne tickets on sale at 11am and Townsville at 12pm, running for 24 hours.

General public tickets go on sale on Friday August 18; Melbourne at 12pm and Townsville at 1pm, local time.
