Ariana Grande announces 2026 Eternal Sunshine Tour

Ariana Grande has announced her 2026 Eternal Sunshine Tour.

On Thursday, the singer and actress announced that she will be returning to the stage next summer for her first tour in seven years, in support of her 2024 album, Eternal Sunshine.

The day before, Ariana teased an announcement on Instagram by posting clip of a corrupted file with the words, “Announcement loading…” and “See you next year…”

Less than 24 hours later, she returned to the platform to reveal the tour and its dates.

These include nine major North American cities, including Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and Austin. The tour will also include a five-night run at The O2 in London. It is expected that more dates will be announced.

Ariana’s last tour was in 2019, in support of her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener and Thank U, Next. The nine-month trek featured 100 shows between 18 March 2019 and 22 December 2019.

In recent years, Ariana has focused on her acting career, starring as Glinda in the 2024 film Wicked and its sequel, Wicked: For Good, which is due for release on 21 November.

She is also currently filming Focker In-Law, the fourth movie of the Meet the Parents franchise.

Last year, Ariana assured fans that she had no intention of giving up her music career.

“I feel so grateful to the acting, and I think my fans know that music and being on stage will always be a part of my life, but I don’t see it coming anytime soon,” she told Variety in 2024.

The Thank U, Next singer continued, “I think the next few years, hopefully we’ll be exploring different forms of art, and I think acting is feeling like home right now… I am appreciative for (my fans’) understanding.”

The Eternal Sunshine Tour is set to begin on 6 June and end on 23 August.
