P!NK's 2023 tour setlist: 'Who Knew,' 'So What' and every song she sang in Phoenix

P!NK  literally swung through Chase Field in Phoenix on Monday, Oct. 9, when her much-anticipated Summer Carnival 2023 Tour arrived with special guests Brandi Carlile, Grouplove and KidCutUp.

It was Pink's first metro Phoenix concert since 2019, when  the Beautiful Trauma Tour played Glendale . And she didn't waste any time reminding fans that no one throws herself into a concert quite like she does, making her entrance bungee jumping to the stage, in keeping with tradition, while kicking off with a song designed for just such an occasion, "Get the Party Started."

The tour is in support of P!NK’s new album, “Trustfall,” and she did more songs from that 2023 release than any other album — five. “The Truth About Love,” "Missundaztood" and "Funhouse" got three each and she dusted off several covers, from Sinead O'Connor to Led Zeppelin.

Here Is Pink’s ‘Summer Carnival Tour’ Setlist

Pink has been having an interesting time on her Summer Carnival tour. From receiving a fan’s mother’s ashes on stage to pausing a Bob Dylan cover to eat chocolate , the pop star’s concerts are quite unconventional.

In Cincinnati, OH, she not only did a Bob Dylan cover, but she also paid tribute to Sinéad O’Connor , who passed away on July 26. “When I was a little girl, my mom grew up in Atlantic City and I used to go down to the Ocean City Boardwalk with my $10 and I would make a demo tape,” Pink told the crowd. “I would make a little cassette tape and imagine it was my demo for the record company.”

She continued, “And it would always be either ‘Greatest Love of All’ by Whitney Houston or ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ by Sinéad O’Connor. So in honor of Sinéad, and in honor of my very, very talented friend Brandi Carlile I asked her if she would come out here and sing this song with me.”

Find the full setlist from that concert below, according to setlist.fm .

1. “Get the Party Started” 2. “Raise Your Glass” 3. “Who Knew” 4. “Just Like a Pill” 5. “Try” 6. “What About Us” (Dance remix) 7. “Turbulence” 8. “Make You Feel My Love” (Bob Dylan cover) 9. “Nothing Compares 2 U” (Prince cover) (with Brandi Carlile) (Tribute to Sinéad O’Connor) 10. “Just Give Me a Reason” 11. “F**kin’ Perfect” 12. “Just Like Fire” 13. “Please Don’t Leave Me” (Acoustic) 14. “Kids in Love” 15. “When I Get There” 16. “I Am Here” 17. “Irrelevant” 18. “No Ordinary Love” (Sade cover) 19. “TRUSTFALL” 20. “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” 21. “Never Gonna Not Dance Again”

Review: Pink soars above the crowd in over-the-top hometown show at Citizens Bank Park

“I’m so proud to be from here: We are one of a kind,” the Bucks County-raised pop star said to the 44,000+ crowd on Monday night.

Nobody makes an entrance like Pink.

The first sighting of the singer (born Alecia Moore) at her Summer Carnival tour on Monday at Citizens Bank Park was on a video screen, as a Max Headroom-style cyber-Pink version of herself. She invited the crowd to “come with me and burn like the sun … close your eyes and SCREAM!”

The assembled 44,000-plus did. And when they looked up, there the Doylestown native was — 100 feet above the stage, looking out at her people from inside the mouth of the red-lipped tour logo.

Then she dove straight down, attached to elastic bands allowing her to do a few acrobatic flips along the way. Secure on stage, she then followed the command that turned her into a star 22 years ago: “Get the Party Started.”

That kicked off Pink’s portion of the opening show of the Summer Carnival’s two-night stand in Philly, in which the hometown hero was preceded by country-rock singer Brandi Carlile, Los Angeles rock band Grouplove, and DJ Kid Cut Up.

In the two hours that followed, Pink surveyed her hit-filled career, pushed her new Trustfall album, covered Bob Dylan, Sade, and Pat Benatar, and paid tribute to Sinead O’Connor by bringing Carlile on for a cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U.” She was joined by her daughter Willow Sage Hart for “Cover Me in Sunshine.”

And with her enormously appealing, unfiltered, Philadelphia-loving personality, she tirelessly, joyfully, and impressively athletically entertained a probably 90% female crowd, many dressed in outfits also suitable for a Barbie screening.

On average, the crowd was older than the audiences Taylor Swift and Beyoncé drew across the street at Lincoln Financial Field earlier in this summer of stadium shows headlined by women.

A tip for guys headed to the Pink show: There’s a line (of women) to get into the men’s room. But don’t worry: There’s no wait for the urinals.

The show was inventively staged, with dancers riding in vehicles shaped like pink flamingos, Pink pulling off an aerial stunt on “Turbulence,” and hoofers donning lip-shaped headgear for “Blow Me (One Last Kiss).” The latter is a breakup song with a typically blunt Pink lyric — “I’ve had a s — day, you’ve had a s — day” — that somehow turns into an anthemic celebration, a resolution to not let the mundane stand in our way.

Earlier in the evening, Carlile — who fronted a eight-piece band that included a string quartet, plus longtime bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth — told the crowd to get ready for an evening of “loud women playing rock n’ roll.”

That was true for much of Carlile’s set, which featured covers of Radiohead’s “Creep” and a rearranged full-throttle take on Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” as a well as a sparkling three-part harmony version of her own “The Eye.”

Pink certainly rocked out too. “Just Like Fire” featured flash pots you could feel going off on either side of the stage, heading straight into a locomotive version of Pat Benatar’s “Heartbreaker.”

Guitarist Justin Terrico, bassist Eva Gardner, pianist Michael Chapman, and drummer (and Philadelphian) Brian Frasier-Moore were all given room to shine, and they all contributed to a genre-blended sound that is inimitably Pink’s.

In a name-that-tune segment, Chapman surprised Pink by playing the intro to a deep catalog song of hers, which she then tried to guess, rewarding herself with candy if she got it right. She correctly identified it as “True Love” and then ate Twizzlers on stage, before passing the package to fans.

She followed that by sitting at the piano herself and delivering a heartfelt rendition of Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love,” a choice she made, she said, because “I don’t write love songs. I write love-hate songs.”

That interlude included a message of love to Philly. “I am so proud to be from here,” she said, expressing specific admiration for Eagles and Phillies fans pole climbers. “We are one of a kind.”

Quiet moments mixed with the loud, allowing many opportunities for Pink to connect with not-canned stage patter, while digging deep into themes of grief and loss.

Before bringing Carlile out to duet in honor of O’Connor, who died in July, she remembered going to recording booths on the Ocean City boardwalk in the 1990s, where she would imagine herself a rock star and either sing Whitney Houston’s “The Greatest Love of All” or the Irish singer’s version of the Prince song.

Pink paid tribute to her father, Jim Moore, who died in 2021, with the hopeful, heaven-sent “When I Get There,” and said she had visited his grave for the first time on Sunday.

And before “Irrelevant,” a clap back at internet trolls, she wondered aloud about why she’s “such a fighter.” Partly because her father raised her that way and partly because of Philadelphia, she concluded: “It’s in the water here.”

The show was a sight to behold. After closing the main set with the euphoric “Never Not Gonna Dance Again,” Pink came back on stage for a lovely “Last Call,” a logical closer with its “seize-the-day-when-the-world’s-crumbling-around-you” sentiment.

That would have been a fine finale, but not by Pink’s standards. So she then harnessed herself in for “So What” and was catapulted high above the crowd, ziplining in a feat of astonishing Summer Carnival derring-do to make other stadium spectacles seem tame in comparison.

“I’m a rock star!” she sang, no longer having to imagine what couldn’t be more true.

(South Philly traffic prevented this critic from catching Grouplove, who went on at 6:45 p.m. Head out early to get the part started on time. Carlile went on at 7:30 p.m., and Pink followed at 9.)

Pink is currently on her highly popular Summer Carnival stadium tour, which started on June 7, 2023 , at the University of Bolton Stadium in Bolton, England, and will conclude on November 23, 2024, at LoanDepot Park in Miami. The newly announced tour dates are seamlessly integrated between her summer tour and a series of previously scheduled P!NK LIVE fall dates. While the summer tour features support from Sheryl Crow , The Script, and DJ act KidCutUp, the additional dates will showcase only The Script and KidCutUp.

Since the early 2000s, Pink’s music has offered an edginess and authenticity that serves as both guidance and empowerment for women worldwide. In her acceptance speeches, she consistently addresses her desire to set an example for her daughter and uplift women everywhere.

Pink solidified her outspoken attitude in her 2006 album I’m Not Dead , which featured politically charged songs like “Dear Mr. President,” and included the poignant track “Conversations with My 13 Year Old Self,” which delved into the struggles of adolescence. However, it was her smash hit single, “Stupid Girls,” that solidified Pink’s status as a feminist icon within the realm of pop music. In this song, she criticized society’s obsession with scantily clad women and targeted everything from women in rap music videos to the notion that a woman’s sole purpose is to appease men.

Nicki Minaj Pink Friday 2 tour: See the setlist for her career-spanning concert

Though she kicked off her Pink Friday 2 tour March 1 in Oakland, California, and still has more than a month to roam the country before heading to Europe, Nicki Minaj's enthusiasm and spunkiness are still raging.

On April 1, Minaj rolled into Capital One Arena in D.C. with a glossy spectacle and plenty of her trademark attitude for another sold-out date.

With a career-spanning 33-track setlist – albeit with some shortened versions of songs – Minaj, 41, delivered a fun, colorful set for fans who have waited more than eight years to see her on a U.S. tour again.

Her anticipated “Pink Friday 2” album arrived in December and was preceded by a snappy update of Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” with Ice Spice on “Barbie World” ( from the “Barbie” movie soundtrack , for those with fleeting memories).

That hit, as well as new songs including “FTCU,” “Big Difference” and “Ruby Red da Sleeze,” allowed Minaj to slip into her various personas , which she also did gleefully with megahits “Super Bass” and “Anaconda.”

Minaj’s devotees – aka “Barbz” – came ready to play, bopping in the arena clad in more pink than the city’s famed cherry blossom trees.

Here are the songs fans will hear during Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour.

Madonna returns to Austin after 40 years with sweaty, sexy Celebration Tour at Moody Center

“It took 40 years to invite me back,” Madonna told an Austin audience on Sunday night. “Should I take that personally?”

The Queen of Pop indeed last performed in the Live Music Capital in 1985 at the Erwin Center. Strange, but true (blue).  Perhaps the mistress of reinvention, ever looking for the new, waited until that venue was demolished and she could pack in two nights at Moody Center . She’ll perform again on Monday.

Regardless, Austin has missed a lot of Madonna over four decades. That made her retrospective Celebration Tour all the more spectacular — and if the cradle of weird can appreciate anything, it's a spectacle. 

Madonna postponed her original September dates following a health scare, and pent-up fan pride runneth over. Before the show, material girls and leather daddies filed through the corridors of the arena. Blonde Ambition-era high ponytails mingled with “Lucky Star” hair bows. Local drag artists like Brigitte Bandit — in full “Like a Virgin” regalia — posed for photos a few steps away from a Trisha Yearwood-branded nacho stand. On the floor, a group of middle-aged ladies in tulle skirts and fishnet gloves chatted next to a row of bears in decades-old concert tees. Accessorization was key. If you forgot your chunky silver cross pendant, hopefully someone could lend you their riding crop.

The air conditioner took the night off. The show had an 8:30 p.m. start time, but the main event didn’t get going until 10:30 p.m., when tour emcee Bob the Drag Queen emerged wearing the rosy contents of Marie Antoinette’s closet. 

“It’s showtime,” Bob said with a tongue pop. 

Her Madgesty lived up to her name, appearing as a holy apparition, much more exciting than her namesake’s various cameos on pieces of toast. Cloaked in a dark kimono with giant sleeve cutouts, Madonna donned a headpiece equal parts crown and halo to sing late-’90s techno earworm “Nothing Really Matters.”  A giant lighting rig circled above like an even larger hat from heaven. It’s right there in the name, folks.

“Nothing takes the past away/ Like the future,” she sang. The song made a fitting icebreaker for the mother of all pop music: “Everything I give you/ All comes back to me.”

Then it was off to the time machine — though as the star admitted later in the show, the setlist made emotional sense, if not always the chronological kind. First stop: Danceteria. Madonna conjured her early 1980s it-girl era with “Everybody” and “Into the Groove.” Dancers swarmed around her in thrift store finery and spotted the singer in a backbend. There was a lot of crotch work.

“I’m about to share the story of my life with you,” Madonna said during the first of several rambling, prickly stretches of crowd work that skirted right up to coherence but instead opted for a middle finger. Joined by a masked dancer dressed as her past self, she asked if everyone knew what a metaphor was. An audience member asked who her next boyfriend would be. “My next boyfriend is me,” she cracked.

Then, Madonna offered a sage bit of advice for the next two hours: “Embrace the confusion.”

The singer astral projected into CBGB with an electric guitar as her guide, shredding through “Burning Up” and spewing Budweiser at the front rows. (Shout out to the stage tech responsible for wiping up Ms. Ciccone’s beer spit immediately afterward.) 

So much of Sunday’s party hinged on awe-inspiring choreography. For “Open Your Heart,” Madonna and company made iconic use of a few chairs and the laps that went on top of them. For “Holiday,” the singer and her crew became a many-headed disco hydra massed around a mirror ball the size of New Jersey.

A trip through time also invited sorrow. At the end of “Holiday,” a dancer fell to the ground as Madonna gazed mournfully. She entered a floating picture frame rigged to the ceiling, one of the night’s most oft-used set pieces, for a gorgeous rendition of “Live to Tell.” Around her, photos memorialized icons lost to AIDS — Freddie Mercury, Keith Haring, Robert Mapplethorpe, Arthur Ashe, Cookie Mueller and more. An affecting vigil from a pioneering activist.

But this was a Madonna show, so then shirtless men in lace gimp masks came out to writhe around glowing crosses. Robed monks, rosary beads, a Catholic censer and a snippet of Sam Smith’s “Unholy” helped usher in “Like a Prayer.” One of her most controversial pop culture moments, the song played like a thumping salute to sacrilege and gymnastics.

Madonna put on a Marlene Dietrich wig and thrusted her way into the 1990s: “Erotica,” “Justify My Love” and “Bad Girl.” In the middle there, she squeezed in 2005’s “Hung Up,” which might have felt like an awkward fit for that act if not for the fleet of topless dancers.

Of course, Madonna couldn’t curate her legacy without two things: cone bras and “Vogue.” Bob the Drag Queen took the stage with a glittery bowler hat and a houndstooth fan to take Austin to the ballroom. Clips of the tour’s “Vogue” segment have gone viral for months, and it was just as joyful in person. A conically breasted Madonna always welcomes a special guest to help her judge a cavalcade of runway looks. For Sunday’s show, she brought up drag superstar Trixie Mattel , and the pair gave their 10s and chops as appropriate. A gay ol’ time.

The dancers weren’t the only ones falling into dips on stage. The setlist meandered a bit after Ginger Rogers danced on air and Rita Hayworth gave good face. “Human Nature” and “Crazy For You” led into James Bond theme “Die Another Day,” a song this reviewer appreciates for nostalgic reasons but admits is an oddball cut for a four-decade hit parade. If you longed to see Madonna dressed like a character from Alejandro Jodorowsky’s “The Holy Mountain” while dropping mainstream music’s foremost reference to Sigmund Freud, congrats.

The wide-brimmed hats kept coming. Madonna stripped to full cowgirl leathers, boot-scooted and strummed out “Don’t Tell Me” from the “Music” album. For “Mother Father,” she brought out son David Banda to sing and play guitar. (She also welcomed daughters Mercy and Estere onstage to perform during “Bad Girl” and “Vogue,” respectively.)

“People don’t get tired in Texas, do they?” Madonna asked after picking up her fallen cowboy hat with her foot. More freewheeling Madge moments: bragging on the kids, talking about forgiving herself for mistakes, berating an audience member for not lighting up his phone upon her command. 

“It’s so important you understand the concept of light,” she said while vamping about darkness and such. Madonna led the “boys and girls and theys and thems” in a campfire singalong to an acoustic “Express Yourself.” 

During “La Isla Bonita,” she projected jumbo photos of cultural revolutionaries like Sinead O’Connor, Che Guevara and Martin Luther King Jr. Not sure what the thematic connection between song and imagery was, but RIP Malcolm X — you would have loved dreaming of San Pedro, I guess.

As Madonna rounded the home stretch, she changed into a pink wig and textured silver catsuit that evoked Jane Lynch performing “Super Bass” on that one episode of “Glee.” Nevermind the sartorial critique: As Madonna soared above the arena in her aerial frame and doused the crowd in lasers during “Ray of Light,” she truly was goddess of her universe.

“Take a Bow” led into a questionable amount of time devoted to a Michael Jackson tribute. But there wasn’t much time to marinate on that, as Madonna stormed the stage flanked by her cadre of dancers, all dressed in recreations of some of her most famous looks. The finale: “Bitch I’m Madonna,” of course. 

Super Bowl Madonna strutted next to “Frozen” Madonna. If you’d sealed an Austin fan in a cryogenic tube for the decades since the pop icon last came to town, the multiversal procession might have driven them to madness.

But, then again … the American-Statesman’s review of Madonna’s 1985 show praised the “slick, polished, contemporary Las Vegas-style production.” The critic also wrote: “Madonna may be considered by some music critics as a fleeting pop star and her penchant for lingerie and erotic posturing understandably irritates feminists. Nevertheless, Madonna is a formidable, timely talent.” 

Erotic posturing. Formidable talent. She might be the living avatar of reinvention, but Madonna never lost her own plot. That’s something worth waiting 40 years to celebrate.

Bruce Springsteen gets a flat tire in Jersey, gets to Mohegan Sun concert on time

Flat notes are rare at Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concerts.

Nor do flat tires stop the show. 

Springsteen posted a pic of himself on his Instagram story sitting next to an SUV with a flat tire in the Keyport area of the Jersey Shore on his way to the E Street Band's Friday, April 12 show at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Springsteen had apparently just started out for Mohegan Sun from his home in Colts Neck. Repairs were made and the Boss, wearing a tie and vest, took the stage on time at 7:45 p.m.

No mention of the unscheduled pit stop was made from the stage. Springsteen and the E Street Band performed a spirited 27 songs over 2 hours and 45 minutes. Tour debuts included “Seeds” and “I'm on Fire.” The gospel-stirred “My City of Ruins” was included, and it's become a statement of mission for the current run of shows, which began March 19 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. Multiple shows were postponed last S eptember as Springsteen had a bout of peptic ulcer disease.

“We're here tonight to bring the joyous power of rock 'n' roll into your life,” said Springsteen during the “My City of Ruins” intro. “We're here to bring some (blanking) fun. We are here to wake you up and to shake you up and take you up to higher ground!”

The show, the band's first on the East Coast in eight months, was looser and seemingly more improvised than those of last year's tour. The night's first two songs, “Roll of the Dice” and “Lucky Towns,” were appropriate for the show's setting — inside a casino.

Springsteen popped a bottle of champagne as he walked on stage, and a pink bra was thrown at him late in the show during “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight).” Steven Van Zandt picked up the bra and put it on the neck of Springsteen's guitar.

The Boss threw it back into the sold-out audience of 10,000 during the build-up of “Rosalita's” final chorus.

“Thank you, you guys are great — you made the whole evening fun! I love Uncasville, wherever the heck it is! As a matter of fact, I'm moving to Uncasville tomorrow,” Springsteen, 74, said at the close of the show.

Friday's show was rescheduled from Sept. 16, 2023. Up next is Monday, April 15 at the MVP Arena in Albany, New York.
