Ariana Grande announces 2026 ‘The Eternal Sunshine’ North American tour and London O2 residency

Ariana Grande has announced details of the ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour, taking place across North America and UK next year. Check out the details below.

The stint will kick off next June with two shows in Oakland on June 6 and 9, and continues with more arena shows planned across the summer. It marks the singer’s first return to the stage in six years, following her 2019 ‘Sweetener’ tour dates.

Multiple shows are planned for every city on the tour, including two shows in Austin, Atlanta, Boston, Montreal, and Sunrise, Florida. Four nights are planned for Los Angeles – taking place at both the Crypto.com Arena and the Kia Forum – as well as four shows at the Barclays Center in New York.

After the North American leg of the tour wraps up with two stops at Chicago’s United Center on August 3 and 5, Grande will head across the pond for a five-night residency at The O2 in London. These mark the only UK dates planned for ‘The Eternal Sunshine’ tour, and take place between August 15 and 23.

North American tickets go on sale on Wednesday September 10 at 10am local time, with pre-sale options kicking off the day before (September 9). Visit here to sign up for US pre-sale access, and here to buy tickets.

For UK dates, the general on-sale starts on September 18 at 10am BST, and pre-sale options start from September 16. You can find tickets here, and visit here to sign up for pre-sale access.

The tour announcement comes just hours after Grande started dropping hints about a return to the live stage last night (August 27).

Taking to social media yesterday, she shared a cryptic video featuring sci-fi elements, and containing the message reading “See you next year… announcement loading”.

The new shows come in celebration of her seventh album ‘Eternal Sunshine’, which arrived last spring, and the deluxe follow-up, ‘Eternal Sunshine: Brighter Days Ahead’, which dropped one year after and came with nine bonus tracks and six brand-new songs.

It also marks her return to the live stage as she has turned her sights over to acting lately – taking on the leading role in last year’s acclaimed Wicked adaptation and its forthcoming sequel Wicked: For Good.

She has rarely played live since she completed her huge 2019 tour, only making a handful of appearances at non-profit events and award shows. She did reassure fans, however, saying that she wasn’t “abandoning” music and was looking into a number of live shows for 2026.

In a four-star review of ‘Eternal Sunshine’, Nick Levine wrote for NME: “It’s the most sophisticated project yet from a preternaturally talented vocalist who keeps getting better. Whatever you take away from it, ‘Eternal Sunshine’ definitely isn’t an album you’ll want to wipe from memory.”
