P!NK’s Beautiful Trauma World Tour
P!nk hasn't been in our realm of the world for over 10 years so it comes as no surprise that her kiwi fans demand has P!nk performing a total of 7 shows in NZ (one in Dunedin and six at Spark Arena in Auckland!) . P!nk’s concert isn’t just the standard music, her acrobatic skills will have you in a spin. There’s a very limited amount of tickets left so if you fancy going, I'd snag one asap if I was you!
