P!nk dazzles as she gets the party started at Wembley

Walking towards Wembley Stadium, it's a sea of pink as fans have obviously gone to their nearest Boots to grab the latest wash out hair dye in ode to everyone's queen, P!nk. 

As the sun starts to slowly come down and everyone is still fanning themselves down, P!nk comes on stage hanging onto a chandelier as she opens with 'Get The Party Started'. A massive song to open to which sends the Stadium into an absolute meltdown.  Not one to slowly build up the show, by the first song we have already had fireworks, dancers, pyro and acrobatics. 

It doesn't calm down from there either, mixing in the golden oldies with slightly newer material (which are still instant classics), we see hits 'Like A Pill' and 'Who Knew' come to life. P!nk is famous for her live shows and how much time and effort she puts in to them but it's truly not until you see it live when you realise the extent of it. Hanging from ropes and doing aerial acrobatics with other people without even being wired up and still being able to sing every note perfectly is truly mind boggling. 

Every single song feels like it's own short story, whether it's a fairytale theme with mythical creatures and a misty forest during 'Try' or a full on fire fest during 'Just Like Fire'. The intermission videos showcasing P!nk's career and political, ecological and social views are nothing but empowering and send goosebumps throughout Wembley. 

A show that even it's quieter moments like 'Walk Me Home' or when she covers Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time', never lacks energy. Taking a few minutes to head down to the barrier to take photos with fans and sign autographs, it just shows the amount of respect she has for her fans that have travelled from different continents just to see her London show. 

Finishing by literally being zipwired around the actual stadium, it wraps up an incredible show that sets the highest bar for rising popstars.
