The Eternal Sunshine Tour, pop sensation Ariana Grande's first full tour in almost seven years, will formally bring her back to the stage.Since the conclusion of her Sweetener World Tour in December 2019, Grande has shifted much of her focus to acting. Now, she is set to reconnect with her fans through live performances once again.
The tour will begin on 6 June 2026 in Oakland, California, and conclude with a much-anticipated five-night residency at London’s O2 Arena in August.
Fans in the UK are in for a rare treat. The only international stops outside North America announced so far are the five London dates at the O2 Arena on 15, 16, 19, 20, and 23 August 2026.
No additional European or UK concerts have been confirmed at this stage, making London the singular international destination for fans.
Grande has spent recent years focusing on acting. Her portrayal of Glinda in Wicked earned her an Oscar nomination, and the sequel Wicked: For Good is set to release in November 2025. She is also expected to appear in the upcoming fourth Meet the Parents film.
Addressing speculation that she might abandon music, Grande reassured her fans on Instagram in July: “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.”
Her words sparked excitement among millions of followers, building anticipation for her live return.
The U.S. and Canadian legs of the tour promise a string of blockbuster performances. Confirmed highlights include:
Fans across North America are preparing for Grande’s first major shows in over half a decade.

Grande’s return to live performance carries emotional weight. In 2017, her Dangerous Woman Tour was tragically struck by the Manchester Arena bombing, which claimed 22 lives.
Weeks after the tragedy, Grande made a comeback to emcee the One Love Manchester benefit concert, which raised millions of dollars for the families of the victims. Her long-lasting relationship with the city was further cemented in 2019 when she headlined Manchester Pride.
This history adds a layer of resilience and meaning to her upcoming tour.
Along with fan favorites from her career, the tour is anticipated to include songs from her 2024 studio album Eternal Sunshine. Grande hinted at a new creative energy guiding her performances: “It may not look exactly like it did before but I much prefer how it looks in my head. I am having fun. I feel grateful and excited and inspired.”
For fans, this means a show that blends fresh artistry, nostalgia, and emotional depth.
