Pink has now landed in the UK, ready for the start of her Summer Carnival tour, which means there are now just days to go until she arrives in Sunderland.
The American singer, famous for giving the world hits like Who Knew, U and Ur Hand and Just Give Me A Reason, announced that she'd be playing the Stadium of Light for two shows on her first UK tour for a number of years, with more excitement arriving on earlier this year, when Pink's support acts were announced.
Pink will be in Sunderland on Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11, with her getting the party started for her UK fans in Bolton on Wednesday, June 7.
Pink's concerts in Wearside coincide with the second of Sam Fender's gigs at St James' Park in Newcastle, with Metro bosses issuing travel advice for both sets of shows, given that there will be significant changes to services, as well as a number of stations being closed.
