Sølve SundsbøMusic fans Down Under love Pink — like, they really, really love her. As Billboard reports, she’s now the second most successful touring artist of all time in Australia and New Zealand, second only to the Rolling Stones.
The final tallies from Pink’s sold-out Beautiful Trauma shows in that part of the world over the summer have come in, Billboard reports: She played 42 shows there and earned just over $80 million. That means that her all-time career box office gross in Australia and New Zealand is a whopping $228 million.
Those numbers make Pink the highest-grossing solo artist, the highest-grossing female artist and the highest-grossing American artist of all time in that part of the world. Only one act — The Rolling Stones — has earned more Down Under, with just under $430 million, but they’ve been touring for decades longer than Pink has.
The “What About Us” singer always makes Australia and New Zealand a big part of her tours — over the past 11 years, she’s played 36, 59, 46 and 42-show engagements there.
Pink has five more North American shows on her Beautiful Trauma tour, all in March of 2019, and she’ll spend most of next summer touring Europe, kicking things off June 16 in Amsterdam.
