Sad trombone noise for fans who thought they were about to scream-sing their lungs out at a Pink concert this week. The queen of aerial acrobatics and banger ballads herself, Pink, just announced she’s putting the brakes on four of her shows. No, she’s not hanging upside down on silk ropes plotting this—life threw a wrench in the Carnival!
On Saturday (October 19), Pink, 45, aka that powerhouse who made us question everything with “Who Knew,” broke the news: Lincoln, NE; Sioux Falls, SD; Milwaukee, WI; and Des Moines, IA are all getting bumped from their original concert slots like forgotten leftovers in the back of the fridge. These shows were originally set for October 20, 21, 23, and 24, respectively, but now they’re on the “TBD rollercoaster of uncertainty.” Whee! 🎢
Dropping the news on Instagram, Pink wrote, “Due to reasons beyond my control, we need to postpone our next four shows…” – which is basically artist code for “the universe had other plans.” She expressed major bummed-out vibes but also reassured fans that her team is already putting in the work to reschedule these dates faster than you can say “Glitter in the Air.”
But don’t go tearing up your tickets in despair just yet! “Your tickets will still be valid for the new dates,” she promised. Translation: Keep those babies in a safe spot. Maybe laminate them if you’re feeling fancy. She also advised fans to “keep an eye out for updates,” because apparently, concert announcements these days are as elusive as finding your missing left sock.
Wrapping things up with peak Pink-level sincerity, she added, “Thank you for your understanding. I’m looking forward to seeing you all very, very soon.” And just to soften the blow further, she ended with, “Sending love and health to you all.” Honestly, that’s the classy way of saying, “I’m just as frustrated as you, but let’s all pretend we’re fine for now.”
In the meantime, those four cities will just have to keep their feather boas, sequined pants, and emotional baggage in standby mode. We’re all crossing fingers, toes, and whatever else is crossable for the rescheduled dates to drop soon—because when Pink finally comes around, it’s going to be worth the wait. 🎤
