Pop sensation Pink finally graced the stage at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on September 6 and 7, 2023, marking her long-awaited return after multiple rescheduled dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The excitement was palpable as the singer opened the shows with an impressive bungee entrance, perfectly setting the tone for a night of high-energy performances.
Pink Takes Center Stage

For the duration of the concert, it was clear that not a single attendee remained seated, as the high-energy vibe of Pink’s music resonated throughout the venue.
