Ariana Grande Announces The Eternal Sunshine Tour: Dates, Locations, and Ticket Sales Information
Ariana Grande is set to embark on her first tour in seven years next summer, with a series of dates in London being the only ones announced outside of North America. The tour, named The Eternal Sunshine Tour after her latest album released in March 2024, will kick off in Oakland, California on 6 June 2026 and will culminate with five nights at London's O2 arena on 15, 16, 19, 20, and 23 August. Pre-sale for the UK tickets will start on 16 September, followed by the general sale on 18 September.
Since the release of her latest album, Grande has been focusing on her acting career, earning an Oscar nomination for her role as Glinda in Wicked. The tour marks her return to full live shows since the Sweetener World Tour in 2019. Despite her Hollywood commitments, Grande reassured fans on Instagram that she is working on a plan to incorporate singing and music into her busy schedule.
The tour will include stops in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Austin, Sunrise, Atlanta, Boston, Montreal, and Chicago. However, there are currently no plans for the tour to visit any other UK or European cities. Grande's return to touring comes after the tragic incident in Manchester during her Dangerous Woman Tour in 2017, where a suicide bomber targeted the concert, resulting in the loss of 22 lives. Grande has since returned to Manchester for a benefit concert and a headline performance at Manchester Pride in 2019.
In conclusion, Ariana Grande's upcoming tour marks her return to the music scene after a hiatus focused on acting. Fans can expect a series of live shows across North America and the UK, with tickets set to go on sale in September. Despite her busy schedule, Grande remains committed to her music career and is excited to share her new music with her fans.
