After a seven-year hiatus from touring, pop superstar Ariana Grande is set to make her triumphant return to the stage with a highly anticipated tour beginning June 2026. The tour, supporting her 2024 album “Eternal Sunshine,” will kick off on June 6 at Oakland Arena in California before making its way to multiple venues across the United States.
Grande’s return to live performances comes after her last tour concluded in December 2019, leaving fans enthusiastic for her comeback to concert stages.

Tickets for all U.S. dates will go on sale September 10, 2025, though pre-sale tickets reportedly sold out in as little as one minute, demonstrating the extraordinary demand for Grande’s live performances.
VIP packages and premium experiences are being offered through various ticket platforms for fans seeking enhanced concert experiences.
During her touring hiatus, Grande has focused mainly on acting projects, including her starring role in “Wicked: For Good,” premiering November 2025, and her current work filming “Focker In-Law,” the latest installment in the “Meet the Parents” franchise. Her recent career shift reflects a significant transition to acting over music in recent years.
Despite this successful pivot to acting, Grande has confirmed that music and live performances remain central to her career.
