The tour commenced on June 7, 2023, at the University of Bolton Stadium in Bolton, England, and concluded at the Camping World Stadium on November 18, 2024, in Orlando, United States. The tour included appearances at three major European music festivals: Pinkpop Festival, Werchter Boutique and BST Hyde Park. As of March 2026, it is the third highest-grossing concert tour by a woman.
In October 2022, Pink announced her stadium tour in the UK and Europe, which includes festivals such as BST Hyde Park, Werchter Boutique and Pinkpop Festival. On November 14, 2022, Pink announced North American dates for the tour. On February 8, 2023, The Edge announced two New Zealand shows. Seven dates in Australia were announced the next day, marking her first Australian stadium tour. On March 5, 2023, two additional dates in Australia were announced in Melbourne and Sydney. Pink also announced another date in Australia, days later, in Brisbane. On August 13, 2023, two additional dates in Melbourne and Townsville were announced, as well as Tones and I as the supporting act for the entire Oceania duration. Four days later, it was announced Pink would headline the first night of the 2023 Music Midtown in Atlanta. A second show in Townsville was announced on August 23, 2023. On September 29, 2023, she announced her Arlington, Texas, concert was postponed, due to a sinus infection; the rescheduled concert was postponed a second time for unspecified reasons and was rescheduled for November 2024. On November 21, 2023, she announced seventeen additional concerts in Europe. Two days later, an additional concert in Amsterdam was announced.

In September 2024, it was announced Noga Erez would also be supporting the concerts in Tulsa and Arlington. During an interview with Women's Health magazine, Pink called herself "kind of like a circus act" and mentioned when performing she is "always on the lookout for new cool things that you might not die from."
The tour received positive reviews from critics, who praised the spectacle of the show. Paul Brannigan of Louder Sound gave the tour five out of five stars, writing that "there's so much going on in this show that you could write a book", appreciating the political efforts in the videos and Pink's vocal abilities. Dave Simpson of The Guardian was impressed by the extravagance of the show, associating it with "a circus troupe"; Simpson appreciated the "acoustic section" where the singer "shows what she can deliver without the trappings. Her voice is intimate but powerful." Sachyn Mital of PopMatters also associated the shows "less to a carnival and more of a circus with the charismatic and candid singer as the ringleader of the unique pop spectacle", and that "while flipping through the air cements her status as one".
Billboard reported tour promoter Live Nation Entertainment projected the Australian concerts would be "biggest-selling Australian visit ever by a female artist." Australia's ABC News reported the singer's March 22, 2024, concert in Townsville had "sold out within 16 minutes of going on sale last week" and, as a result, accommodation prices in the city had "skyrocketed". Speaking to the news publication, Townsville Enterprise chief executive Claudia Brumme-Smith stated: "What we saw was over 60,000 people trying to get tickets." As a result of this, it is projected the two concerts will "inject almost $20 million into the region's economy", per the report.
Billboard reported the singer sold 871,000 tickets during the European leg of the tour, bringing in $106.8 million. In North America, she grossed $150.7 million from 914,000 tickets sold. According to Forbes, the Summer Carnvial tour has grossed $300 million from 37 shows as of August 2023, making it the seventh highest-grossing tour by a woman in history. In December 2023, Pollstar reported an estimated gross of $231,681,720 from 39/44 concerts, making the Summer Carnival the eighth highest-grossing concert tour of the year worldwide, and was listed as the fifth highest-grossing concert tour in North America in 2023, with a reported estimated gross of $182,629,816 for 30/33 concerts. In an August 2024 report, Billboard reported the tour had grossed $469.3 million and sold 3.6 million tickets as of July of the same year. In November 2024, Billboard reported sales of 4,800,000 tickets throughout the tour, bringing in a total gross of $584.7 million.
