It was announced the American singer, whose hits include So What, Sober and Please Don’t Leave Me will perform one show in town on September 1 next year.
She will visit as part of her Beautiful Trauma world tour to support her new album of the same name which will be released on Friday.
Dunedin Venues chief executive Terry Davies expected a sellout show.
"Pink is sort of Ed Sheeran-ish, because she crosses a lot of age groups and has such an array of hits. She’s been quiet recently because of the baby, so we think coming back out, it’s going to be huge."
The show would bring an estimated $7 million to the city, he said.
"You’re going to get more than 60% coming from outside the region, so the impact is significant."
Promoters would see how the public responded to the first round of sales before considering more shows, he said.
In a first for the stadium, the roof glowed pink last night with 256,000 kilowatts of power in recognition of the announcement.
"We’ve been looking for an opportunity with the translucent roof. I imagine this [is] something we’ll do in the future as a lead-in to concerts and the like."
The venue was "improving all the time" in response to feedback about sound issues at some past shows, Mr Davies said.
"The good thing about our relationships with promoters is we’re learning where our dead spots are and we can adjust things like speaker positions."
Otago Chamber of Commerce chief executive Dougal McGowan said the September date meant the show would bring people to the city during its shoulder season.
"The evidence shows that these concerts often bring people in for two nights, so that’s really, really important for the city."
Dunedin’s hospitality industry had adapted and was "getting good" at catering for events like this, he said.
It will be Pink’s first visit to New Zealand since performing two sold-out shows in Auckland during her I’m Not Dead Tour in 2007.
Pink performed at the Dunedin Town Hall in 2002.
In 2013, Pink’s The Truth About Love Tour eclipsed the likes of Adele and Taylor Swift to become the biggest selling tour by a solo female artist in Australian history, reaching 600,000 people over 46 shows.
More than 100,000 tickets have been sold for Ed Sheeran’s three Dunedin concerts in March and April.
Pink joins a schedule of high-calibre artists booked to play at the stadium including Robbie Williams, Roger Waters and Stevie Nicks and The Pretenders.
The greatest musical hits of the stadium include Elton John, Aerosmith, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Neil Diamond and Fleetwood Mac.
General ticket sales will open on Friday, October 20. Pre-sales will be available from noon next Monday.
