Fans have waited five long years to see Pink live in New Zealand - and demand for her upcoming shows in 2024 is so huge that she’s announced a second show in Auckland on March 9.

The three-time Grammy winner will now play a total of three shows in Aotearoa, including two at Auckland’s Eden Park on March 8 and 9, 2024 following a show at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium on March 5.

Promoter Live Nation shared a release this afternoon citing “phenomenal demand” during the pre-sale period for tickets to the superstar’s Summer Carnival Tour.

The three-time Grammy winner said in a statement last week that she can’t wait to bring the tour to her “home away from home”, adding that she’s very excited to “smile and sing together until our cheeks hurt”.

While fans will get to hear some of her greatest hits including Just Give Me A Reason, So What and U + Ur Hand, they will also be treated to hit songs from her upcoming album which is available to stream or buy from February 17.

The beloved pop singer last performed in the country in 2018 with seven massive shows including one in Dunedin where she performed to 37,000 people and a further six in Auckland – three of which were added after the initial announcement due to high demand.

Her last series of shows were nothing short of headline-worthy as she made jaws drop with her dancing and aerial acrobatics with each performance being over two hours long and her upcoming shows are set to be just as spectacular.

Pink first made her debut in 2000 and has since released eight studio albums and one greatest hit album with six of those reaching the number one spot on New Zealand’s charts and two more charting in the top five.

Having sold out arenas all around the world, the award-winning pop star is a force to be reckoned with. Her most recent musical accolade saw her receive Billboard’s Legend of Live Award in November 2019, while her 2021 documentary P!NK: All I Know So Far was released to critical acclaim on Amazon Prime Video.
