American popstar P!nk wrapped up her record-breaking Summer Carnival Australian tour in Townsville last month, with the benefits being felt throughout north Queensland thanks to the tens of thousands of fans flocking for her two concerts.
Held at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23, the concerts attracted over 65,000 punters across the two nights, breaking the Stadium attendance record previously held by game one of the 2021 State of Origin series.
Millions of dollars are said to have been injected into the local economy from the concerts, with Burdekin Shire Council confirming over 120 rooms across the region were booked by concertgoers and turning Ayr’s Queen Street fountain pink to celebrate.
Before P!nk took to the Townsville stage, the tour’s promoter, Live Nation, revealed nearly one million tickets had changed hands throughout the tour, making P!nk’s Summer Carnival Australian tour the biggest for any female headliner in Australia by far.
“Nobody else has ever played 20 stadium shows across Australia and New Zealand in a single tour, but we just did it together on the Summer Carnival Tour,” P!nk wrote on social media.
“The ticket sales for the Summer Carnival Tour are the biggest for any tour by a female artist in Australia.
“We’ve sold over 3.1 million tickets during six tours here - that’s the most career ticket sales ever achieved by an international performer in Australia and New Zealand.
“We’ve grown up together over the last 20 years.
“And we’ve danced, laughed, screamed and cried together, too.
“You’ve always been there for me, but this week I learned just how great your support has been.”
