It would run feature tour dates across three continents opening in San Diego, California on May 14, 2023 and closing in Brisbane, Australia on November 1, 2023. The tour would support P!nk's current studio album *Perfect Girl*. RCA Records label representative Kandi would open for P!nk on all sixty two dates of the tour.

## Background and development

The Perfect Girl World Tour would be announced following the release of P!nk's seventh studio album *Perfect Girl*. Fans could witness P!nk's stunning performances while wearing glamorous and spectacular outfits by purchasing any of the many ticket types available; choosing from standing or seating tickets, premium booth tickets, or the ultimate VIP tickets that offered the chance to receive signed merchandise and even a Meet and Greet with both P!nk and Kandi. Ticket prices started at a minimum of $69 and were available to purchase from Friday, April 21. This would be P!nk's first in-person concert since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, as her prior tour (The Perfect Life World Tour) was actually a set of livestreamed concerts.

But that's not the only thing that P!nk planned for her fans. The superstar, known for her love of beer, created her own special brew, called "P!nk's Brew," that would be sold at every venue for a premium. And for those who wanted to take home a piece of the experience, there would be plenty of merchandise available at the tour venues. Fans could expect to find an array of items, including tour posters, t-shirts, hoodies, underwear, wristbands, glow sticks, tote bags, jewelry, and more.

## Concert synopsis

### Opening Act

Renowned singer-songwriter Kandi electrified the stage in her debut concert performance, thrilling fans with a seamless blend of rock, dance, pop, and urban sounds. As the stage lights flashed an ominous blood red, the crowd roared in anticipation as the instrumental for her hit collaboration with Grant Gustin, “Pandemonium”, filled the room, transforming into a newly arranged dance beat that had the audience on their feet.

Sporting a stunning zipped-up black leather jacket with gold trim, Kandi emerged from backstage, captivating the audience with her signature “woah woah woah woah” hook. The back of her intricate jacket design, with ribbing in the leather and gold fringe falling down, had the crowd in awe. She kept the energy going with her crowd-pleaser “The Ring Didn’t Mean a Thing,” hyping up fans for the main show.

As the instrumental to “Ko-fi & Love” began to play, the giant screens behind Kandi displayed a QR code from the single artwork, encouraging fans to donate to Ko-fi and purchase the Supporter Pass. With the words “DONATE NOW” plastered on the stadium screens, she guilt-tripped the audience, stopping the song multiple times to ask if they had donated yet. The dance vibes continued with a more summery pop sound, as Kandi shed her jacket to reveal a stunning sequined summer dress appropriate for a pool party. Her dancers joined her on stage, sporting skimpier swimming costumes, colorful flower leis, and coconut drinks, creating the perfect atmosphere for “A Sip of His Cocktail.”

The party took an unexpected turn when Kandi interrupted one of her dancers and told him to pull his pants up during the song “Pull Your Pants Up.” She also pulled aside one of her female dancers for acting inappropriately and reminded her to “Close Your Legs (To Married Men)”. The performance shifted to an urban sound as Kandi covered Beyoncé’s “BAWDY,” emphasizing her legs and hips in the process.

As the tempo slowed down, Kandi moved the audience with the emotional tracks “It’s Beautiful (But It’s Broke)” and “This Isn’t About You.” She closed the show with the powerful “Battered But Not Broken”, building up to her chart-topping hit “Love, Honey”. Kandi left the stage to thunderous applause, leaving fans awestruck by her unforgettable performance.

### Main Show

The electrifying and unforgettable P!nk has once again outdone herself with her latest tour, leaving fans in awe from the very start. As the show commences, the crowd is hit with the dramatic staccato pulses of a singular note, gradually transitioning into a two-note pattern, and the lights flash pink with each pulse striking the speakers. The stadium is filled with anticipation until finally, the rock sound of P!nk’s hit song “Get a Life!” echoes through the venue, signaling the beginning of an epic performance.

Suddenly, the lights focus on the top of the stadium roof, where P!nk is showcased in all her glory as she jumps from the roof down to the stage, supported by aerial equipment. The crowd goes wild as she lands and begins singing the verse to “Get a Life!”, setting the tone for the rest of the show. Sporting a black trench coat, bejeweled pink rhinestone bra, and long hot pink trousers with jeweled strips down the sides, P!nk exudes the confidence and showmanship that have made her an icon in the music industry.

As the night continues, P!nk performs her new album track “Spice” and is joined on stage by the song’s producer, Kandi, who sings the second verse in a red tribal bra. The two collaborate in a sultry and captivating number, accompanied by red lights beaming onto the stage. The show continues with high-energy hits like “I Don’t Know You… Yet”, “Want You Tonight”, and “Don’t Stay Out (Too Late)”, with P!nk’s vocals and stage presence continuing to impress.

The stage transforms into a racetrack as P!nk performs “Rebound”, “Delicious”, and “Send Me Flowers”, with carnival apparatus and fake booby traps adding to the excitement. In “(You’re Goin’) Home Alone”, P!nk is chased by dancers who end up in hilarious situations like the burglars from the movie. The dancers were then hoisted into the air before being shot down as P!nk launched into “Shoot You Down” to wrap up Act II.

But the night is not over yet. P!nk sits down with one of the dancers on stage, mocking his weakness as she performs “Just Not You”. The scenery changes yet again as they enter a portable changing station made to look like a traveling agency, emerging with new clothes for the road trip of a lifetime. With P!nk now wearing a summer holiday dress accompanied by a brown leather belt, the pair travel around in “On the Road” before ending up at P!nk’s home “Suburban” mansion. Here, P!nk reminds herself that she’s unhappy and tells her inferior man that it’s over in “You Know It’s Over”, before disappearing into one of the rooms of her mansion for another costume change.

P!nk re-emerges in a bar-ready outfit with ripped jeans and a casual top, complete with pink jewels stitched into the back spelling out “FUCK OFF” and “But Text Me Later”. “Betcha Didn’t Know” was performed while making her way out of the mansion and heading towards a nearby bar. Accompanied by her talented female dancers, the scene quickly changed as they arrived at the bar, where P!nk ordered “Six Shots” and found herself in a brawl with another girl. Unfazed, she delivered an incredible medley of songs including “Blonde”, “Cardboard”, “Nasty Hoe” and “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves”, leaving the crowd in awe.

P!nk would then perform her classic hit “Fuck Off (But Text Me Later)" as she retreated to a heart-shaped island in the middle of the stadium. Taking a break from the high-octane energy, she then serenaded the audience with some emotional songs, including “You’ll Be the One to Fall”, “Greatest Love” and “You Wish You Were”. The stirring performance, accompanied by guitar-driven accompaniments, left the audience mesmerized.The tempo picked up again as P!nk returned to the main stage, performing “Whatever Happened to the Heroes” while the piano took center stage. With the instrumental becoming more rock-focused, P!nk sprinted offstage behind the curtain as the song finished on a clash of the cymbals.

The atmosphere shifted as the sound of a trickling stream at low volume merged with the waves, transitioning into “Spring of Life”. Dressed in a sparkling bodice that flowed into an airy and super movement-filled skirt, P!nk paid tribute to her *Earth, Water, Fire & Air* collaborators, performing one song for each of their elements. Following her performance of a new rendition of "Windwave" on the piano (now known as Part II), she takes to the air, twirling with the energy and intensity of a tornado, all while delivering an awe-inspiring rendition of "Heaven in My Hurricane". As the song reaches its climactic finish, the instrumental builds into a powerful gust of wind, carrying P!nk backstage in its wake.

For the encore, P!nk re-appeared in a dazzling off-the-shoulder sequined pink bodysuit, paired with classic latex trousers etched with pink rhinestones. She treated the audience to an exhilarating performance of “Let’s Start Again” before singing her newest Diamond single “Visit Me”. P!nk promised the crowd one last song, the awe-inspiring “Next Life”, before bidding them farewell and leaving them eagerly anticipating her next performance. P!nk's incredible stage presence and mesmerizing voice left no doubt that she is truly one of the best in the industry.
