Great news, Ariana Grande fans! The actress and singer has announced she is officially back, and she’s bringing the sunshine with her first tour in more than six years. On August 27, the pop powerhouse teased fans with a clip in the style of her “Brighter Days Ahead” short film before confirming dates on Instagram less than 24 hours later. The initial itinerary includes nine major North American cities and a five-night residency in London. But, of course, fans are hoping this is just the beginning, because, well, it’s been quite some time since we’ve seen her on stage.
Grande last toured in 2019 in support of her “Sweetener” and “Thank U, Next” albums. Since then, she has largely focused on acting and cinematic projects. Of course, most notably, she starred as Glinda in “Wicked” alongside Cynthia Erivo and is filming the fourth installment of the “Meet the Parents” franchise, tentatively titled “Focker In-Law.”
Ariana Grande Returns to the Stage
Despite her time on the big screen, Grande hasn’t forgotten her roots, and she’s made it pretty known. She told Variety last year, “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 music will always be a part of my life.”
Grande’s 2024 album “Eternal Sunshine” made major headlines after it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, further cementing her status as one of pop’s most consistent hitmakers. Earlier this year, she released a deluxe edition of the album titled “Brighter Days Ahead,” which added six new tracks to the original lineup. Safe to say this pop sensation knows how to keep fans coming back with everything that she releases. The album blends her signature powerhouse vocals with introspective lyrics, and critics have praised it for its cinematic feel.
With the deluxe edition, she gave fans a bonus serving of music while simultaneously hinting at a return to live performance. An announcement that fans had been eagerly awaiting, and she’s been breadcrumbing since the release of the album.
2026 Tour Dates: North America & London
The “Eternal Sunshine” tour kicks off June 6, 2026, at Oakland Arena in California, followed by multiple stops in Los Angeles, Austin, and Sunrise, Florida. After an extensive North American run, including stops in Atlanta, Brooklyn, Boston, Montreal, and Chicago, the tour will conclude with a five-night stint at London’s O2 Arena in August 2026.
Fans can expect a full production, of course, likely featuring visual storytelling inspired by her “Brighter Days Ahead” short film, dazzling choreography, and, of course, her amazing and powerhouse vocals. Can we get the “Wicked” cast in there somehow too?
With over a decade of chart-topping hits, Grande has earned a reputation for putting on unforgettable shows. From her early pop beginnings to the soulful ballads of “Eternal Sunshine,” her concerts are a mix of spectacle and intimacy all rolled into one. Fans are already buzzing online, speculating which songs from the deluxe album will make the setlist.
For Grande, the tour is a chance to reconnect with her fans after years of acting and studio work, which, let’s face it, she is killing everything she’s doing!
