P!nk Back in Ireland
Oct 17th, 2009 | By Annie Aura | Category: Music
P!nk arrived back in Dublin on Wednesday morning for two more sold-out shows at the O2 (The Point) before moving on to Belfast. This is the second-leg of the Funhouse tour, similiar but not quite identical to the shows she put on here in April. The set-list was slightly different, out went Ave Mary A and Crystal Ball and in came Stupid Girls and Dear Mr. President. Just quite why the latter was brought back is anyone’s guess, it’s no longer relevant and P!nk herself said she would no longer perform it after Obama’s inaugeration earlier this year. If anything was disappointing it was when one of her dancers took to the trapeze for Sober while P!nk herself sang from the stage. She never mentioned why that was but she did end the show with Glitter in the Air and the acrobatics that went with that (being dipped in water and then spinning around all while dangling from a piece of material!) . Another theme to the show was cheese! She spent about 3 minutes speaking of her love for it and the fact that she hadn’t eaten any all day. Of course, the following night provided ample opportunity for fans to throw dozens of types of cheese onto the stage. P!nk promptly told the security guard to put it in the fridge for her.!
Vocally, she was on form as always and Bohemian Rhapsody was a particular highlight even for those in attendance who were admittedly not huge fans of P!nk. Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” is given a huge boost by her vocals and the en
ergy she generates spreads throughout the crowd and lasts to the very note of the nearly two hour set. For the fans disappointed in the changes to the show, they might be pleased to hear that her Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour will be visiting Ireland in June next year. The dates are: King’s Hall – Belfast on the 16th June, The RDS Arena – Dublin on the 19th June and Thomand Park, Limerick on the 20th June 2010. Tickets go on sale next Friday the 23rd October at 9am from Ticketmaster outlets nationwide. Dublin and Limerick prices are €58.30 general admission and €63.20 seated. The DVD of the Funhouse Tour “Live From Sydney” will be released in Ireland as a CD/DVD double-pack on the 30th October 2009.

She separated her shoulders (if u know about this….its very very painful) before her U.S leg of the tour and continued with the tour despite her injury. That is why she didnt perform sober on the trapeze. She nver gave it time to heal properly and I fear she might have to have a surgery by the end of the year.
Sounds serious! I thought that was only a niggle and had healed up. Thanks for the info and your comment!
Totally loved the show on Weds night, although I would have been disappointed had I not seen her show back in April. Crystal Ball is one of my favs so I missed that. Her energy is still amazing, and I’ll no doubt be seeing her again next summer!
OMG P!NK AT THE O2 LONDON 12th DECEMBER CANT WAIT ANYONE ELSE GOING ON THAT DAY!!
