Summer Carnival / Trustfall Tour [With Spoilers]

I have a theory and I am very certain that it's correct. This tour was not meant to happen this way. Originally, they had planned to do stadiums back in 2022 (Justin said this in an interview). A list of dates hidden on the Summer Carnival website was found which included a bunch of US stadiums in the summer momths. This would be similar to the 2017 festival run. Included on those list of dates was Bottlerock. I believe that for some reason, those plans fell apart and they decided they weren't going to tour last year. However, dates that they couldn't cancel (the festival ones like Bottlerock, Ohana, and ACL) stayed because they had no choice. Because they had to cancel/delay the 2022 run, but they already had a bunch of venues ready, they pushed it back. Unfortunately, I believe that because of the delay their options in new dates were very limited as it was not expected. This is probably why the dates ended up as they are. This made it so they had to announce the tour before the album or else there wouldn't be enough time for ticket sales and all of that. Now, back to the 2022 dates that happened. The theme on those dates seemed to be around balls. At the stages they had the floating balls, the balls came in during Blow Me, and there were balls around the band. The merch for 2022 (which said "2022 summer", so really "2022 summer carnival" with carnival cut off) also had balls on it -- the same balls as the Summer Carnival 2023 branding. The pictures of her used for the 2022 merch are also the same as the ones being used for Summer Carnival. So this branding was meant for 2022, but when they had to go through with the few festivals they probably hastily edited out "Carnival" to it. 

So basically, they had a summer carnival tour for 2022 planned. It fell apart. Locked in dates stayed. Branding was quickly changed. Canceled dates were moved to 2023 at probably the only date the venue could do. This made them have to announce it pre-album. This led to the huge tour-branding mess we have now. Certain branding was also recycled from 2022's. 

yeh i did hear a rumour that apparently she planned to tour in 2022 but it didnt happen for whatever reason. i think probably because things were still uncertain as we were not long coming out of COVID and although concerts were back in late 2021 there was still international artists postponing tours because there were still worries about travel restrictions. i have been wondering recently, once an artist signs a tour contract, is it almost impossible to get out of it?? Because, this has nothing to do with pink i know, but S Club 7 announced a reunion tour this year. Sadly Paul died 2 months later then Hannah pulled out. But the last 5 members are determined the tour will still go ahead which i find odd especially after a member has just died. And someone on another forum said apparently when a tour is agreed and signed by contract, its very difficult to cancel the tour unless theres a good enough reason. So maybe Pink signed the contract to do the tour and she couldnt get out of it. But then tbh i think well it woúldve been 2021 that she signed it, why would she/her management commit to a tour when in 2021 we were still all in limbo with what was happening with COVID and we were all just getting jabbed?

i  just hope this tour is not going to be it for another 3 or 4 years. Thats my main worry. im really hoping shes treating the Trustfall tour as a separate tour and there'll be a proper UK leg of that and she does Scotland and Ireland etc. Thats my hope

probably it would just be called the   Trustfall tour and it would include Scotland and Ireland. like i said im really hoping like at the end of this year she'll announce Trustfall UK Tour and it includes scotland and ireland. im hoping they dont see this tour as a OK we've done the UK  now. also, presuming the Trustfall tour is a different show altogether, itll be a waste of money on productions for 1 leg that just lasts 5 weeks. its in arenas so itll no doubt be a massive production that costs a lot of money, whats the point for just a 5 week tour??


 

Setlist spoiler(?): Pinkshread posted some things on their story which seem to highlight the songs Sweet Dreams, No Ordinary Love, and Last Call.

I’m excited for the tour no matter what but, my god, she loves recycling covers. 😂

Turbulence & Irrelevant have been heard being rehearsed ❤️😍
