P!NK will rock into Australian arenas with her Beautiful Trauma tour in July and August next year.

There will undoubtedl­y be some not-so-beautiful trauma for her hundreds of thousands of fans when tickets go on sale for the 14 concerts now revealed.

The What About Us singer holds the box office record for a female artist with more than 600,000 tickets so on her 2013 The Truth About Love tour.

P!nk will kick off her challenge to beat that record with the Beautiful Trauma tour at the Perth Arena on July 3 and 4.

She then takes her live juggernaut to the Adelaide Entertainm­ent Centre on July 10 and 11, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on July 16, 17, 19 and 20, Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on August 3, 4, 6 and 7 and the Brisbane Entertainm­ent Centre on August 14 and 15.

There will be a pre-sale for Telstra customers from October 16, with the general sale on October 20. There is a limit of six tickets per customer.

Rather than take her show into stadiums like Taylor Swift, Adele, Ed Sheeran and her pop star peers, P!nk preferred the relative intimacy of the arenas she has always played in Australia to get up close and personal with her fans.

While there are gaps in her schedule to suggest other concerts will be added, her promoter Live Nation warned the tour could not be extended with P!nk heading to New Zealand for her first concert there on September 1.

And with her husband Carey Hart and their children six-year-old Willow and ninemonth-old Jameson joining her on the road, the So What superstar will be taking breaks to enjoy family time.

“With a limited window of time in her global schedule to visit Australia, the number of shows is sure to be limited. Fans are urged not to wait to secure tickets,” the tour announceme­nt stated.

Beautiful Trauma will be released on Friday having already topped the pre-order charts back in August.
