OCTOBER 12, 2024

A Night of Pink: P!nk Takes Indianapolis by Storm! On the evening of October 12, 2024, the iconic Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, home to the Indianapolis Colts, transformed into a vibrant spectacle of pink as the immensely talented three-time Grammy-winning artist P!nk graced the stage.

As concertgoers flocked to downtown Indianapolis, the atmosphere was electric. Men, women, and children adorned themselves in every shade of pink, some even opting for striking neon hairstyles. To set the tone for the evening, Lucas Oil Stadium illuminated its exterior with pink lights, creating a welcoming beacon for the star performer.

The concert kicked off with the Dublin-based rock band The Script, who energised the audience with their dynamic performance. Launching into their hit “Superheroes” from the album No Sound Without Silence, the band showcased their diverse talents, with lead vocalist Danny O’Donoghue singing and playing multiple instruments. The crowd enthusiastically responded, particularly during their concluding number, “Hall Of Fame”, from their third album, #3, which left a lasting impression.

Next up was the renowned Sheryl Crow, who dazzled the audience in a groovy all-black ensemble that perfectly complemented her radiant presence. Crow’s set was a nostalgic journey, featuring beloved tracks like “All I Want To Do” and “If It Makes You Happy”. The highlight of her performance came with a rousing rendition of “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” by The Rolling Stones, which had the crowd on their feet, celebrating alongside her. Crow ended the show with her classic tune, “Everyday Is A Winding Road”. As she walked off the stage, the crowd yelled out “we love you, Sheryl!”

As the audience awaited the main event, they participated in an exhilarating human wave, a feat of synchrony and excitement that challenged the Colts’ game-day tradition. The energy in the stadium reached a fever pitch, setting the stage for the headline act. Those on the main floor were impressed by shouting out their approval.

Finally, the moment arrived when P!nk took the stage, eliciting a deafening roar from the crowd. Her entrance was nothing short of spectacular, descending from above in a breathtaking acrobatic display that showcased her extraordinary talent and flair. As she launched into “Get The Party Started”, the excitement in the 70,000-seat stadium surged to new heights.

Throughout the concert, P!nk captivated the audience with multiple costume changes, each more stunning than the last. Her genuine and relatable stage presence fostered a sense of camaraderie as she engaged with the crowd like old friends catching up. Then, she becomes even more personable by bringing out her son, Jameson, and her daughter, Willow. She is fighting over some candy that Jameson brought out with him, and the crowd laughs. The heartwarming moment occurred when she sang “Cover Me In Sunshine” with Willow, which left the fans speechless.

If that wasn’t enough, she addressed some of those in the crowd she met in the Indianapolis area and gave them tickets to the show. From the gal that let her and the kids into the historic Conner Prairie even though she purchased tickets for the wrong day to signing the cutest pink boots she had ever seen for the little girl in the first row, underscored her authenticity and love for her supporters. When P!nk says she loves her fans, she literally means it.

The concert continued with a blend of acrobatics, choreography, and an array of hit songs. The setlist featured notable covers, including Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love”, Pat Benatar’s “Just Like Fire / Heartbreaker”, and the timeless anthem “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes. For her encore, P!nk left the audience in awe with “So What”, complemented by another stunning aerial performance highlighting her theatrical artistry.

P!nk’s concerts are renowned for their unique blend of entertainment, emotion, and artistry. Each show is a testament to her enduring ongoing legacy, making it a must-see event for fans of all ages. The experience of a P!nk concert transcends the ordinary, promising an unforgettable evening filled with joy, connection, and sheer excitement.
