The anticipation in the air was palpable as thousands of fans flooded into Chicago’s historic Soldier Field for the highly awaited Pink concert as part of her Summer Carnival Tour 2024. The night was alive with energy, the stadium pulsating with excitement as fans of all ages and backgrounds came together in a celebration of music and unity. The stage was a magnificent sight, adorned with vibrant colors and whimsical carnival decorations like a giant melted ice cream cone, beach balls and a 12 foot mirror ball that set the perfect backdrop for the electrifying performance that was about to unfold. Partnered again with her long time creative director, Baz Halpin, they created a magical scene that was impressive to see.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the stadium, Pink emerged on stage in a blaze of light and sound. Dressed in her signature edgy style, a studded black one piece, she commanded the attention of the crowd with her powerful presence and raw talent. Her voice, a force of nature, soared through the air, captivating the audience with every note and every twist and turn with a medley of “Get The Party Started” intermixed with the Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams” and C & C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat”.

The crowd erupted into cheers as Pink launched into her set, belting out hit after hit with unparalleled energy and passion. The music reverberated through the stadium, sending shivers down the spines of everyone in attendance. From the catchy pop anthems like “Raise Your Glass” to the soulful ballads of “Just Give Me A Reason”, Pink’s performance was a rollercoaster of emotions, taking the audience on a journey through love, heartbreak, and triumph.

Pink can take a fever pitched stadium concert and bring it down to a club level showcase too. At about the mid point of the show, coming out on the runway that stretched out into the crowd bringing only her guitarist, Justin Derrico (also the lead guitarist for the TV Show, The Voice) a couple stools of which they sat on and microphone. Together, they played an acoustic version of “Don’t Let Me Get Me”. Reworked for a modern 2024 audience.

Amidst the sea of swaying bodies and waving arms, there was a young girl named Jessica who stood mesmerized by Pink’s performance. With wide eyes and a heart full of wonder, she watched in awe as her pop idol delivered a show-stopping performance that seemed to defy all expectations. Each song seemingly struck a chord deep within her soul, resonating with the hopes and dreams that she held close to her heart as she swayed back and forth.

As the night went on, the energy in the stadium reached a fever pitch. The crowd sang along with every word, their voices joining together in a chorus of unity and joy like during a cover of 4 Non Blondes “What’s Up?”. Where Pink made clear it was one of her favorite songs of all time.

This wasn’t the only cover we heard as she also paid homage to Pat Benatar doing “Heartbreaker” and “Make You Feel My Love” by Bob Dylan where she played piano. Her infectious energy was contagious, spreading like wildfire and igniting a spark in each and every person present.

Pink’s shows are one to see live. It’s not just a pop rock concert. It’s a mix of Cirque Du Soleil with death defying acrobats, performance art and dancers that span the stage, and air, in all directions. Somehow they’ve mixed it all together into this grand showcase that is truly unbelievable to witness with an amazing light show, video walls and special effects making it a spectacle in itself even without the songs.

And then, as the final notes of the concert echoed through the stadium, Pink took a moment to address the crowd. Her words were filled with gratitude and humility, a reminder of the power of music to bring people together and transcend all boundaries. She thanked her fans for their unwavering support and love, promising to return again soon to spread even more joy and inspiration ending with “Blow Me” and Never Gonna Dance Again” before coming back for her encore, “So What” performing one final aerial stunt and going out with a literal bang!

As Jessica made her way out of Soldier Field, her heart was full and about to burst, with the memories of an unforgettable night. The music still echoed in her ears, carrying her away on a wave of emotion and promise. And as she looked up teary eyed at the starlit sky, she knew that she would carry the magic of that night with her always, a reminder that in the world of music, anything is possible.

In the heart of Chicago, under the twinkling lights of the Summer Carnival Tour 2024, Pink had not just performed a concert – she had created an experience that would last a lifetime. And for Lily, and all those who had been lucky enough to be there, the memory of that night would forever be etched in their hearts as a testament to the power of music to unite, uplift, and inspire.
