Singer Pink to host 79th Annual Tony Awards at NYC's iconic Radio City Music Hall

Pop star Pink will host the 79th Annual Tony Awards, which will crown the best in Broadway for the 2025-26 season, Tony Award Productions announced Thursday. 

The three-time Grammy Award winner will lead the 2026 Tonys live on June 7 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. 

"It is the honor of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest working people in showbiz," Pink said in a statement. "Broadway has shaped my life and how I put my own shows together - it is a community that is supportive, and inclusive, and full of talent and love. These people give magic every single day, and I cannot wait to celebrate them with the entire world." 

She also posted a video confirming the news on Instagram.

In the video, she is seen backstage in costume at Broadway's "The Great Gatsby." She pokes her foot out onto the stage during the curtain call, then jokes that now that she's been on Broadway, she can host the Tony Awards.

Executive producers for the 2026 awards show — Raj Kapoor, Sarah Levine Hall and Jack Sussman — described her as "a fearless artist whose powerhouse voice, electrifying stage presence, and undeniable authenticity embody the very spirit of live performance and theater." 

The CEO of the American Theatre Wing and the president of the Broadway League released a joint statement reading, in part, "P!Nk has built one of the most passionate and enduring fan communities in the history of popular music, giving her a unique ability to bring even more people into this growing family."

In addition to her Grammys, Pink has won a Daytime Emmy, seven MTV Video Music Awards and has had 15 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Two of her songs are featured in current Broadway productions of "Moulin Rouge! The Musical" and "& Juliet."

The 2026 Tony Awards will air live at 8 p.m. ET on June 7 on CBS and Paramount+. 

"Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo hosted the the 78th Tony Awards last year.
