Pink Summer Carnival: Pink’s Summer Carnival stadium event dazzled with bright flamingos, gigantic mirror balls, flying bananas, and Cirque du Everything.
Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Maryland were clouded by rain. Pink performed on time. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo played six songs instead of ten without KidCutUp and Grouplove.
Pink’s two-hour Nationals Park Act required ponchos due to intermittent rain after the storm.
She’s fearless.
Pink, 44 in a few weeks, claims to be in her greatest condition. Her bungee cord flips during the lively opening song “Get the Party Started” (which reminded me of Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”). Her high-energy performance of the underdog hymn “Raise Your Glass” demonstrated her athleticism.
Pink’s friends speak better, standing up.
For “Who Knew,” the hitmaker sang with a wink, a smile, and a powerful voice. She donned a multicolored glittering one-piece and silver ankle boots.
Her Summer Carnival tour began in England and ended in the U.S. Pink will continue her exciting national tour until October, when she begins a month-long stadium tour for “Trustfall.”
Pink had several new songs to show off, so she had to find out how to add a few to her extensive catalog of successes over the past 23 years. But her well-rounded set list spanned a lot of her career, from “Try” to “What About Us” to “Perfect.” Pat Benatar’s “Just Like Fire” and “Heartbreaker” were electric guitar and attitude explosions.
Pink seductively sang Sade’s “No Ordinary Love” and played Adele’s “Make You Feel My Love” on piano.

Pink’s gorgeous 12-year-old daughter Willow joined her onstage to sing “Cover Me in Sunshine,” a 2021 song. Pink and bassist Justin Derrico performed a more personal set later. Pink’s touching tribute to her father, “When I Get There,” shows her ability to move people.
Pink’s “I Am Here,” sung without shoes in the rain, accelerated the tempo. After the powerful social justice song “Irrelevant,” Black Lives Matter marches, Pride parades, and other political events were displayed.
Pink liked sports. During “Trustfall,” she and her dancers swayed to the music as others behind her made incredible leap flips. Pink saw their “trust falls” on the winding cloth.
Pink’s honesty, determination, and loud, booming voice are admirable. Her concerts are enjoyable.
Pink’s music never grows old, according to show host Pat Benatar.
Her husband Giraldo played “Promises in the Dark” and “We Belong” on piano and guitar. Benatar stalked the stage as she owned it, but she saved her whole strength for the dramatic first line of “Love is a Battlefield,” backed by Giraldo’s blistering guitar.
Their 30-minute act showed respect by smiling at each other.
“Heartbreaker,” the last song, was a bizarre combination of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.” Giraldo’s rapid guitar and Benatar’s passionate voice made this odd pairing work.
