That other pop spectacular making a victory lap around the country,P!nk’s Summer Carnival continues on its way to scoring a new Australian concert box office record as the biggest stadium tour by a female artist, on target to sell 900,000 tickets to 20 big gigs.
There are limited tickets available for the remaining shows in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Townsville.
But her return to Sydney to play Accor Stadium on March 16 is sold out, with fans advised to check back closer to the gig in case last-minute production seats are released.
MISSY HIGGINS
The queen of the big gig thanks to her enviable canon of fan favourite songs and joyous stage presence, Higgins has a destination festival performance with The Cat Empire, Birds of Tokyo and more for the Summersalt show in Hervey Bay on March 9 before she heads out on a massive national tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of her breakthrough debut record The Sound of White. Higgins announced extra shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane last week to meet the huge demand to celebrate her anniversary. All details via frontiertouring.com
