Ariana Grande’s fans are left disappointed after she announced she would have to reschedule three concert dates on her “Eternal Sunshine” tour due to production and safety concerns. The former “The Voice” coach and superstar made the announcement on her Instagram Stories on Monday, June 29.
Ariana Grande Shares New Information Regarding Her Upcoming Tour Dates
The changes will affect one Brooklyn show and two Boston concerts. The Brooklyn show at the Barclays Center has been rescheduled from July 12 to July 14, and the Boston dates at the TD Garden on July 22 and July 24 will be pushed back to July 23 and July 26, Billboard reports.
Of this decision, Grande wrote, “We are so sorry for these unfortunate scheduling changes. This was our best and safest option as these challenges with production have come to our attention.” She continued, “The utmost important thing to us all is safety, first and foremost, and also making sure you all see the show how it is intended to run. Thank you so much for your understanding and I cannot wait to see you.”
No details were given on why the concert locations were deemed unsafe, but Just Jared offered a theory. “Ari‘s team likely realized how much work goes into deconstructing and reconstructing the stage for each city and more time is needed between upcoming cities to ensure the stage can be built properly,” they wrote.

Fans are not happy about the announcements, and it has been a major inconvenience for many of them who are traveling long distances to attend.

Other reactions include, “are u serious ?! people have jobs!!!!!! the whole reason i got a sunday ticket fr,” “I feel like I’m owed an upgraded seat…,” and “Bro I already asked off of work for Sunday.” Other fans have flooded the comment section informing those who cannot make the date because it has been rescheduled that they will gladly purchase their tickets from them.
