Ariana Grande Announces First World Tour in Seven Years

Ariana Grande will launch her first tour in seven years, The Eternal Sunshine Tour, starting in California in June 2026 and ending with five nights at London’s O2 Arena, marking her return to music after focusing on acting.

Ariana Grande is set to return to the stage next summer with her first concert tour in seven years, delighting fans who have eagerly awaited her comeback. The Eternal Sunshine Tour, named after her most recent album released in March 2024, will begin in Oakland, California, on 6 June 2026 and conclude with five nights at London’s O2 Arena in August — the only dates confirmed so far outside North America.

The tour marks Grande’s first major live performances since her Sweetener World Tour in 2019, signalling a long-anticipated return to music after years of focusing on her acting career. During her time away from touring, the 31-year-old pop star has garnered acclaim on screen, including an Oscar nomination for her role as Glinda in Wicked, with the sequel Wicked: For Good set for release this November.

Grande has also lined up roles in Hollywood, including the upcoming fourth instalment of the Meet the Parents franchise, but she has consistently reassured her fans that music remains central to her life. In July 2025, she posted on Instagram dismissing speculation she might leave music behind, writing: “Very silly of you all to assume that just because I have my hands full with many things that I plan to abandon singing & music…!!! It is and has always been my lifeline.”

The North American leg of the tour will include four-night residencies in both Los Angeles and Brooklyn, alongside stops in Austin, Sunrise near Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Boston, Montreal, and Chicago.

UK fans will be able to access pre-sale tickets from 16 September, ahead of the general sale opening on 18 September. With five headline shows at the O2 scheduled for 15, 16, 19, 20, and 23 August, Grande’s London run promises to be a centrepiece of the tour.

Grande’s relationship with the UK holds particular poignancy. In 2017, the Manchester Arena bombing tragically struck during her Dangerous Woman Tour, killing 22 people. She returned to the city two weeks later to headline the One Love Manchester benefit concert, and again in 2019 to perform at Manchester Pride, cementing her deep bond with British fans.

Now, as she prepares to step back onto the world stage, the Eternal Sunshine Tour represents both a homecoming and a new chapter. Balancing her music career with her blossoming Hollywood ventures, Grande’s return underscores her enduring commitment to her art.

For her global fan base, the announcement serves as a reminder that no matter how far Hollywood may take her, Ariana Grande’s voice — her defining lifeline — remains rooted in music.
