P!nk has announced the special guests on her first ever stadium tour The Funhouse Summer Carnival will come from UK’s newest one to watch VV Brown, Portland’s coolest export Hockey and one of the most respected American singer, songwriter and producers Butch Walker. Combined together, The Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour is a blend of the most exciting and eclectic artists in music today.

Like Pink, VV Brown is truly an individual. At the age of 24, Brown has already moved between LA and London and sang backup vocals for the Pussycat Dolls. Today, she boasts a career as a singer, songwriter, performer, multi-instrumentalist and a producer, just to name a few. Signed to a major label by the age of 19, Brown recognized her need for individuality from an early age, singing in the Gospel choir and coming home to listen to The Rolling Stones, Elvis, Aretha Franklin and Queen with her parents. Her diverse musical interests help defines her personality as what she now calls “musical mashed potatoes.” VV has recently become the new face of M & S as well as being heralded a ‘one to watch’ by UK and European media alike.

Coming out of the creative hub that is Portland, Hockey are striking a chord across America and the UK. The band won over New York City crowds during a run of Manhattan and Brooklyn gigs, earning them a spot in NME’s ‘ones to watch’. The band’s success hasn’t just been felt on the home front, after touring the UK they were described as a perfect combination of “arty cool dance and shameless pop.”

Stepping out of the hottest producer shoes in the States, Butch Walker will be the perfect opener for this Carnival spectacular. Butch took to the producer helm for P!nk’s Funhouse album which has sold over 4 million copies to date. He has produced records for some of the greatest artists and bands in music today and not only that but has released seven albums of his own, proving that he really is a unique talent and one that is about to take the UK by storm.

With the addition of these artists, The Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour gets ready to take on the UK and Europe with the first show kicking off in Germany on 29 May and it will, without doubt, leave hundreds of thousands of fans across the UK stunned with P!nk’s special brand of high octane and dazzling performance.
