We've already had The Boss aka Bruce Springsteen at the Principality Stadium this year and it's just a few days before Taylor Swift rolls into Cardiff on June 18, but before that pop powerhouse Pink will bring her Summer Carnival show to Wales.
The huge gig at the home of Welsh rugby will take place on Tuesday, June 11 and we've got all you need to know ahead of the day if you're coming to the show. Even if you're not, there's information on road closures which might affect you if you're heading into the city centre that day.
For Pink fans, though, scroll down for stage times, set list, ticket link and more as the So What and Cover Me in Sunshine singer heads back to the capital.

Can you still get tickets?
There are plenty of tickets left for Pink's Summer Carnival 2024 show at the Principality Stadium from official ticket retailer, Ticketmaster. Many are fan-to-fan resale from the official site, but there are other tickets on sale that are not resale.These are the more expensive platinum tickets .
Cheaper ones on sale from Ticketmaster on resale start at £123 for a general admission, aka standing, ticket. Resale sites like viagogo aren't much cheaper, either, with prices starting from £123, too.
Sites such as Viagogo allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale - such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation - to ensure a smooth live event experience.
Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, viagogo also commented: "viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee."
