March 15, 2002 — P!nk will pack up her brand new Grammy award, her MTV VMA award, and RIAA double-platinum certificate for her two-million-plus selling second album, M!ssundaztood, and hit the road for her first major headlining tour of North America. The two-month schedule opens May 2nd at the Webb in Phoenix, Arizona and wraps up June 28th at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles (see tour itinerary below).

With M!ssundaztood at #10 this week on the Billboard 200 Album chart, P!nk is the only solo female artist with two songs inside the top 50 on the Hot 100 -- as "Don't Let Me Get Me" moves to #43 and "Get the Party Started" remains at #25 in its 22nd week on the chart.

Before P!nk jumps on the tour bus, however, you can catch her on April 17th's "MTV Icon" special concert tribute to Aerosmith, during which she'll perform their 1989 classic, "Janie's Got a Gun." Three days later on April 20th, P!nk will be on hand for the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice awards, hosted by Rosie O'Donnell, televised live from the Barker Hangar in Los Angeles, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time and 8:00 p.m. EST. P!nk has been nominated for two NKCs - as Favorite Female Singer and Favorite Song for "Get the Party Started."

Last year, P!nk enjoyed her first #1 hit when she joined Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim and Mya for their cover of LaBelle's 1974 smash "Lady Marmalade" from the Moulin Rouge movie soundtrack. On September 6th, the clip was named Video Of The Year and Best Video From A Film at the annual MTV VMA music awards, where the group's live performance was a highlight of the telecast. At last month's Grammy awards (again featuring a live performance by the all-star team-up), the song won in the category of Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
