Old friend or somersaulting superstar? Pink is whoever we need to see reflected back at us

Allianz Stadium, Sydney A fan goes into labour and the show is hampered by rain. But the singer takes it all in her stride in exhilarating return to Australia

I wasn’t expecting so many people to actually be wearing pink. After more than 20 years, Alecia Moore’s stage name barely even registers as the name of a colour. But as we approach the venue – a carful of people drives past, honking like it’s grand final day – we are surrounded by streams of people in bright outfits ranging from sherbert to raspberry jelly.

The four people sitting behind us are a perfect microcosm of Pink’s audience: twentysomething Laura and her mother-in-law Christine, and 12-year-old Pippa, at her first ever concert with her mum, Chloe. They all wear freshly bought Pink merchandise; none have seen her live before and radiate anticipation. “I’ve seen a lot of Reels of her setting up, so I’m really looking forward to seeing it,” said Chloe, of Pink’s infamous trapeze rig. Christine’s most anticipated song was So What; Pippa likes “all of them” and Chloe loyally insists that Pink’s very first album, 2000’s R&B-heavy Can’t Take Me Home, remains her favourite.

Australia loves Pink with a passion: she played 42 dates last time she toured here in 2018 and banked a cool $109.8m. With her eponymously hued and spiked-up cool-mum haircut, sequined leotards and muscular gymnast’s build, she cuts a figure both androgynous and powerfully feminine. She’s a working mother, a straight talker, a party starter, sometimes a vengeful or steadfast lover. She’s chilled and passionate. She’s everything a pop star should be – but you can also imagine her at a barbecue with a chardy.

There’s only one possible opener. Get The Party Started begins, and there she is, waving from a harness at the very top of the stage set, before dropping thrillingly from a pair of sturdy bungees and somersaulting over and over. The band sails right through into Raise Your Glass as two of her dozen dancers sail across the stage in giant flamingo floats. Eventually she stops for a chat.

“Finally!” It’s her post-pandemic return to one of her most lucrative markets and she greets us like the oldest of friends. “How the hell is everybody?” It feels like she really wants to know. You could never doubt her sincerity for a moment. She sits at the piano and covers Adele’s cover of Bob Dylan’s Make You Feel My Love, but cheerfully gives up when she flubs one too many chords. She stops a few lines into another ballad when she spots fans calling for help and is both delighted and discombobulated when it appears someone is literally going into labour. “Congratulations!” she calls out, visibly wincing at the inadequacy of such an offering as the parent-in-waiting is stretchered out safely. “It’s gonna be great! You’re gonna do great!”

The long middle stretch of the show, while always anchored by Pink’s unshakeable, gutsy contralto, is a bit too full of the B-tier singles you don’t recognise until the chorus. Not even her immense personal charisma can lift duds like Just Like A Pill and Just Give Me A Reason, though the fan singalongs are loud and passionate. The crowd is, however, palpably underwhelmed when Just Like Fire morphs into an all-guns-blazing cover of Pat Benatar’s Heartbreaker; they also seem unmoved by the 2022 protest single Irrelevant, and its accompanying footage of Black Lives Matter rallies, the January 6 attack and pro-choice demonstrations against the supreme court. Her game, vinyl-clad backup singers manage to whip the very front of the crowd up a little with the “Girls just wanna have rights” refrain. The song itself might be mid but Pink has serious form when it comes to political activism and, as she notes, being told to “Shut up and sing” – her protest-song mode goes back to the Bush years with Dear Mr President .

The show has been dogged by a drifting drizzle all night. With minor apparent adjustments to the choreography, Pink and her tight-knit crew take it in stride, handing towels back and forth to wipe off faces and instruments. At the end of the show, it’s time for the acrobatics to return. As the chorus of So What takes off, so does she: she flies around the arena on a four-anchor wire rig, somersaulting through the rain and barely missing a beat, occasionally perching on steel columns in the crowd like Peter Pan. I am literally cackling with glee. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen at a stadium show. Harry Styles should be doing that. Dave Grohl should be doing that. I should be doing that.

I read somewhere that Pink still does the flying bit after all these years to allow fans who’ve paid good money to see her to actually see her. Whether or not this is the case, the effect is still somehow intimate and powerful. She is not, as the kids like to declare about any female celebrity these days, “mother”; she’s not camp or arch enough for that. She is whoever we need to see reflected back at us: confidante and comforter, superstar and friendly neighbour, construct and real person. As we trudge out into the rain in our thousands, the exhilaration and warmth linger.

Pink’s Summer Carnival is touring Australia and New Zealand until 23 March , then the UK and Europe later this year.

Going behind the ‘Born Pink’ tour with its creative director: “We could do a six-hour BLACKPINK rock opera”

Ahead of BLACKPINK’s massive concerts at the O2, creative director Amy Bowerman explains what it's like to work on the largest world tour in the history of a K-pop girl group

Expectations were high for BLACKPINK’s ‘Born Pink’ world tour from the very start. Even before its official announcement in August, the tour behind the K-pop group’s second studio album was lavishly billed as the largest of its kind for any girl group in K-pop history. One month into the tour, the quartet have only proven this to be true with powerful performances and immaculate production. As NME saw firsthand in Seoul, no expense was spared in breathing life into the ‘Born Pink’ tour, from its interlude VCRs – with themes ranging from a woodland paradise to a futuristic sci-fi world – to the intricate stage structures to the flickering fireworks that punctuate BLACKPINK’s choreography.

Amy Bowerman of creative direction and production studio Ceremony London – who has worked on tours by artists like Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran – is the creative director behind the girl group’s astronomical tour, which after a string of massive concerts in Seoul, South Korea and North America, is finally set to hit the UK and Europe . Bowerman was brought on board to help conceptualise the concert’s visual and creative direction shortly before the release of their single ‘Pink Venom’ in August, so it’s no surprise she tells NME that “it all started with the new music”.

Split into four acts, ‘Born Pink’ is a celebration of everything BLACKPINK represents. “It’s very ethereal, very feminine and gorgeous,” Bowerman says of the concert’s opening act set in an enchanted garden. “Later, we move into this hugely monochromatic state that’s very stark, black-and-white and powerful. And for us, that’s the two sides of BLACKPINK,” she explains. The ethos of ‘Born Pink’, she explains, lies in breaking down and celebrating these sides of BLACKPINK, both as individuals and “super powerful artists”.

Ahead of BLACKPINK’s upcoming ‘Born Pink’ concerts at The O2 in London this week, NME catches up with Bowerman to hear how she and the girl group brought the tour to life.

How did you and YG Entertainment first conceptualise the ‘Born Pink’ tour?

“We listened to the music with [BLACKPINK] and their producer Teddy [Park], and it was very much about finding out what the new record meant to them and what they wanted to achieve with the tour. At the heart of it was taking all of their new music and all of the old favourites to combine them and make something incredible.”

Recommended

How did discussions with BLACKPINK and their team unfold?

“Incredible, the team at YG are amazing. They’ve been with BLACKPINK forever, so it’s very much a family. [The team], the girls, they all have great ideas and it was very much a collaboration. It was getting into a room, talking about what everybody wants to achieve. Not knowing K-pop and not knowing that side of the industry, I was terrified to start off. But they were super welcoming, and it was just a really fun, inspiring experience.”

Was the setlist already decided when you were brought in to work on the tour? How much did things like the lyrics influence your direction?

“BLACKPINK really know their audience and what works for them, so they had a lot of feedback for us with what works where. They’re very on top of and connected with the music. They were the ones in charge of their setlist, so we knew the main tracks we wanted to work with, and then it was [about] what songs go well [with them]. It was really natural, pulling together the setlist.

“We were very connected with both the Korean and English lyrics and sat there with translations throughout. They’re super powerful, the imagery and their lyrics, so I don’t think you can be disconnected from it. It naturally feeds into it.”

Each member also has her own solo performance in the ‘Born Pink’ tour. Was it difficult ensuring that these were cohesive with the show, yet unique to them as individuals?

“I’ve personally never had that within a show before, so it was new. But I think it worked really nicely since you get some time for a one-on-one moment with each member. We do take a little break in between and set the stage for the next one so it’s not a blank slate, and the way it’s laid out in the setlist works really well for entrances and exits. I think the reaction you get in between each performance leaves you saying ‘well, what’s next, who’s next?’ [and makes it] a super exciting part of the show, because you have no idea what’s around the corner.”

Were there any particular songs or segments you found tricky to work on?

“No, to be honest. I think what was tricky was taking all of the music and putting it down into the time that we had. You could do a million things with them and choosing one form of presentation is really difficult. We could do a BLACKPINK rock opera that lasts six hours, because there’s so much that we could include.”

Have you been paying attention to fan reactions?

“I really love the Blinks. Personally, there are little elements you put into the show that you don’t think anybody’s going to notice, but the Blinks don’t miss a thing. It’s really lovely to see every aspect of the show being enjoyed, and how much they care for BLACKPINK, how much they enjoy the time they get to spend with BLACKPINK.

“That’s one thing I’ve noticed specifically in K-pop, there’s more time dedicated to actually talking to their audience, and I think that that’s such a wonderful part of it, to be such a two-way relationship. It’s something that I’ve really loved experiencing, stepping into K-pop.”

Coming aboard the ‘Born Pink’ tour after working with so many huge artists in the West, has the experience has been very different?

“I think a lot of people in the West view K-pop as being this incredibly polished, well-oiled machine. But one of the things that I really enjoyed is how dissimilar [from that idea] it can be as well. There is such a value of fans, such a value of tours being a real opportunity to go out there and spend time with your audience.

“For me, one difference that I really enjoyed was working with a female production team. I’d never met a female lighting director in the West, ever. And then all of a sudden, I’m sat at the conference table and everybody there is female. As a woman in this industry, I was living my fantasy. They’re incredible. They’re so hardworking. That’s where that meticulousness comes from, I think, that we all associate with K-pop. How much they genuinely care, live and breathe and want to create something that is truly magical is really inspiring. I just love every second of it.”

Besides BLACKPINK and their music, did the team have any other inspirations for the tour?

“The girls have so many different inspirations, obviously, fashion being a huge one. They’re so prevalent in fashion that you can’t get away from it. I can’t really pinpoint specific things. I think their own message and their personalities is what we took a lot of inspiration from. Who BLACKPINK are, as we have experienced them, was one of the biggest things that we wanted to pull from within the show.”

Is there anything special that fans can look forward to at the upcoming ‘Born Pink’ show in London?

“The London show for me, personally, is a big thing since I live in London. It’s gonna be incredible to see them in that venue I mean, it’s huge, it’s iconic. In terms of the show there’s nothing we’ve changed to fit for each territory. But for me, London’s gonna be a really special show, and I just I can’t wait to show everybody here who has been working on it, you know, everything they’ve been working on.”

Do you have a favourite BLACKPINK song to watch in concert?

“It always changes. I think there was one day where we had ‘Tally’ stuck in our heads like crazy. And then there’s always something else you don’t realise is going to be so stuck with you, like ‘Pretty Savage’ always gets stuck in my head by the end of it.”

“Though I will say this as a BLACKPINK fan, when I first saw ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’ on stage I was like ‘OK, this is incredible.’ But then, again, the next day it would be like, ‘How You Like That’ becomes your favourite, and then the next day, it changes again.”

BLACKPINK perform at The O2 in London on Wednesday (November 30) and Thursday (December 1), and continue the ‘Born Pink’ tour in Europe, Asia and Australasia through June 2023

Blackpink recently made their musical return with “ Pink Venom ,” their first official single since the release of The Album in 2020. After some time holed up in the studio, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa will release their sophomore album ahead of the tour launch, getting back into the flow of stardom.

“I love to perform, but I don’t always enjoy being part of the spotlight,” Jisoo shared in Blackpink’s candid Rolling Stone cover story . “I think it’s different for the other members: They love to receive the spotlight, feeling energized by the people who come to see us, and then getting a bit depressed when the stage is over and silence arrives. I’m a little different. When I’m onstage, I think about not making mistakes. Performing sometimes feels more like a test than something genuinely fun.”

Blackpink Unveils ‘Born Pink’ Tour Dates, Plots Largest World Tour in the History of a K-Pop Girl Group

Blackpink have shared the tour dates for the forthcoming ‘Born Pink’ world tour, set to launch in October 2022 and wrap in June 2023

BLACKPINK at Coachella in Indio, CA, USA on April 12, 2019. Koury Angelo for Rolling Stone

Blackpink  are launching into their comeback era at full speed with the announcement of  Born Pink , the 36-date world tour that aims to be the “largest world tour in the history of a K-pop girl group,” according to the pop phenomenon’s management company YG Entertainment.

The expansive tour will launch on Oct. 15 in Seoul before Blackpink makes their way to Dallas and Houston. November will see the group performing in Atlanta, Hamilton, Chicago, Newark, Los Angeles, and London before making December stops in Barcelona, Cologne, Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam.

The  Born Pink  world tour  stretches into 2023, picking back up in January with shows in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi and stretching through March, May, and June with stops in Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, Melbourne, Sydney, and more. Additional dates are set to be added to the tour schedule at a future date, as well as ticket on-sale information.

The tour announcement comes less than two weeks before Blackpink will make their musical return with “ Pink Venom ,” their first official single since the release of  The Album  in 2020. After some time holed up in the studio, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa will release their third overall album in September ahead of the tour launch, getting back into the flow of stardom.

“I love to perform, but I don’t always enjoy being part of the spotlight,” Jisoo shared in Blackpink’s candid  Rolling Stone  cover story . “I think it’s different for the other members: They love to receive the spotlight, feeling energized by the people who come to see us, and then getting a bit depressed when the stage is over and silence arrives. I’m a little different. When I’m onstage, I think about not making mistakes. Performing sometimes feels more like a test than something genuinely fun.”

But for Lisa, the new era marks a culmination of the strength she gathered in overcoming internal obstacles. “That whole year between ‘As If It’s Your Last’ [2017] and ‘Ddu-du Ddu-du’ [2018] was rough for me,” she explained. “I couldn’t sing. When I went to the studio to record, nothing came out. I cried. I felt like I was bringing the team down. Teddy pushed me hard: ‘You can’t? No. Try harder. Go back in there.’ Because of Teddy, I overcame that time.”
