The Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour is an extension of the Funhouse Tour (2009), the fourth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Pink. The tour supported her fifth studio album, Funhouse.[1][2] The tour reached several countries in Europe and is estimated to have earned 46.4 million dollars from 30 shows.[3]

The Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour and the Funhouse Tour sold a combined total 3 million tickets. With the tour, P!nk became the only female artist to sell out stadium shows in 2010 and the first solo female act to open the Wireless Festival in London,UK. Tor Nielson of Live Nation Sweden (P!nk's Swedish promoter) gave a statement calling P!nk "Sweden's biggest stadium act" of 2010.[4]

Background

The tour was announced by tour promoter, Eventim, on October 14, 2009, followed by an announcement on Pink's official website in November.[5] After selling over two million tickets on her successful Funhouse Tour, it was announced the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter will embark on her first ever stadium tour, in Europe. During an interview with online radio station, IN:DEMAND, Pink stated there will be a new setlist and less acrobatics, confirming that the tour isn't just a continuation of her previous tour.[6] The tour was set to begin on May 27, 2010 at the Expo-Gelände in Hanover, Germany, however, the show was canceled for logistical reasons.[7] In December, it was also confirmed that Pink will headline music festivals throughout Europe during the tour. Pink shot a new tour video for the tour in late April 2010. The video was shown while she was performing various songs. Butch Walker also duetted with Pink at most shows, including most festivals.
