P!NK is set to bring her aerial-heavy spectacle to downtown San Diego, headlining Curebound’s Concert for Cures at Petco Park on May 15. The one-night stadium show is a fundraiser for cancer research, with proceeds supporting Curebound’s work on innovative adult and pediatric studies across San Diego. Gates open at 6:30 PM, and the performance is scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m., so this is not the night to roll in fashionably late.

Official announcement and Curebound's message

The booking was confirmed in a Curebound press release distributed via Business Wire, which states that P!NK will headline the May 15 show and that ticket sales will fund local cancer research. The release notes that Curebound has awarded $51.5 million in cancer research grants so far, and includes remarks from CEO Robin Toft welcoming P!NK and framing the concert as a way to speed up funding for early-stage studies. Fans are encouraged to sign up for early access and to consider VIP tables or sponsorships if they want to pair big-night entertainment with bigger philanthropic impact.

When to arrive and what to expect

According to the event page, gates at Petco Park open at 6:30 PM and the show begins at 8:00 p.m., with single-seat ticketing handled through Ticketmaster. Curebound details VIP table packages, concierge-style hospitality and donor perks, and provides direct contact information for table and sponsorship purchases. The organization also notes that some VIP amounts may be tax-deductible, which means the view comes with a potential write-off.

Tickets, partners and logistics

Ticketmaster lists the Curebound Concert for Cures as a May 15, 8:00 PM show at Petco Park and is managing general ticket sales and seat maps. The San Diego Padres’ event page notes that proceeds from the night will benefit San Diego Padres partner Curebound and that a portion of some purchases may be tax-deductible. Fans heading into downtown San Diego are advised to plan for transit and parking, and to arrive early for donor check-in and security screening.

Building on last year’s haul

Last year’s Concert for Cures at Petco Park, headlined by Elton John, raised $11.5 million for cancer research, a single-day record for the nonprofit, according to a Curebound announcement distributed via Business Wire. Organizers say the P!NK concert is designed to build on that momentum and convert ticket revenue into grants for promising local research projects. The Concert for Cures series has become a primary vehicle, organizers add, for pairing marquee entertainment with direct investments in early-stage science.

How to follow and where to buy
