Pop music firecracker P!nk will continue her circus chic tour de force in 2010, this time with the much-anticipated Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour, after selling over 2 million tickets on her successful Funhouse Tour. The spitfire chanteuse who released her critically-acclaimed electro-rock rhapsody “Funhouse” to an enormous praise and impressive sales embarks on her fifth tour as announced by tour promoter Eventim and then by P!nk via Twitter. It will be the bluesy punk rocker’s first-ever stadium tour in Europe. However, unlike last year’s one-of-a-kind bat-hanging-from-the-rafters Led Zeppelin-esque Cirque du Soleil rock extravaganza, P!nk has stated that there will be less acrobatics and a new set list which confirms that fans are in for a new experience.

Since its release, the pop stalwart “Funhouse” has sold over 5 million copies worldwide, spawning several smash hits including “So What?,” “Please Don’t Leave Me,” “I Don’t Believe You,” “It’s All Your Fault,” the title track and “Bad Influence.” Earning 2 Grammy nods for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her hit single “Sober,” this punk debutante—along with the shows already scheduled—will headline various music festivals throughout Europe during the tour. P!nk will start by breaking new ground at 6 stadiums across the UK, starting with a show at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday, June 12 in Bolton.

P!nk will also be whizzing across Australia, where she smashed audience attendance records for female artists performing at the Sydney Entertainment Centre where she serenaded 115,598 people on her last tour. That’s a whopping 22,903 more fans than Australia’s own pop diva, Kylie Minogue. That means, her Aussie fans only have a few months to “sober” up for the ride of their lives. Careful, she could be a “bad influence.”
