Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour is a 41-date arena run spanning North America and the United Kingdom, running from June 6 to September 1, 2026. It is her fifth concert tour and first major live outing in seven years, built around a cinematic stage show and songs pulled from three different album eras.
The tour combines a two-story stage set, a five-act narrative structure, and a setlist drawn from Positions, Eternal Sunshine Tour, and her newest album Petal. It closes with a multi-night residency at London’s O2 Arena, after which Grande plans to step back from public visibility.
Tour Scale and Background
This is Grande’s fifth concert tour and fourth arena tour, marking her return to full-scale touring after a seven-year gap following the 2019 Sweetener World Tour. The production is promoted by Live Nation and supports her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine Tour (2024), its 2025 companion release Brighter Days Ahead, and material from her 2026 album Petal.
Rather than promoting a single record, the show pulls from multiple eras of Grande’s catalog, including Positions (2020), giving both longtime fans and newer audiences a broader set of material to expect.
Demand for tickets was intense from the start. Presales drew roughly six million ticket requests in the United States and about two million in the United Kingdom. North American dates reportedly sold out in under an hour, and the volume of UK demand pushed Live Nation to add five extra shows to the London run.
Full Schedule
The North American leg spans 31 dates and favors multi-night residencies in major markets rather than single-night stops in many cities. It opened June 6, 2026, at Oakland Arena in California.
| City | Venue | Dates |
| Oakland, CA | Oakland Arena | June 6–10, 2026 |
| Los Angeles, CA | Crypto.com Arena and Kia Forum | June 13–20, 2026 |
| Austin, TX | Moody Center | June 24–27, 2026 |
| Sunrise, FL | Amerant Bank Arena | June 30–July 3, 2026 |
| Atlanta, GA | State Farm Arena | July 6–9, 2026 |
| Brooklyn, NY | Barclays Center | July 13–19, 2026 |

| Montreal, QC | Bell Centre | July 28–31, 2026 |
| Chicago, IL | United Center | August 3, 5, and 6, 2026 |
Chicago is the final North American stop. From there, the Eternal Sunshine Tour moves to a 10-night residency at London’s O2 Arena, with shows on August 15, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24, 27, 28, and 31, closing September 1, 2026. Every remaining date, including the entire London run, is sold out.
Stage Design and Narrative
The production centers on a two-story, ruined house structure that mirrors the promotional artwork for Eternal Sunshine Tour. As the two-hour show progresses across five acts, the set transforms and becomes covered in live floral installations.
Video interludes tie the acts together, continuing a storyline from Grande’s short film Brighter Days Ahead. In it, she plays a character named Peaches who undergoes memory-erasing treatment at a fictional clinic while confronting past trauma. The visual design also includes nods to The Wizard of Oz and Wicked. Lighting design leans on high-contrast spotlighting, siren effects, and atmospheric cloud projections.
Costumes were designed by Law Roach, who previously styled Grande’s Dangerous Woman and Sweetener World tours, using custom pieces from Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Christian Louboutin, and Vivienne Westwood. Reviews of the opening shows were strongly positive, with critics praising the emotional range of the ballads, the energy of the up-tempo numbers, and the ambition of the narrative-driven staging.
Setlist and In-Tour Changes
Each show runs about two hours and includes roughly 23 songs organized across five acts and an encore, with material spanning Positions, Eternal Sunshine, and Petal, plus two or three older tracks. A recurring moment features Ariana Grande performing a rotating, fan-requested song a cappella from earlier in her catalog.
The setlist has evolved as the Eternal Sunshine Tour has gone on. On July 28, 2026, in Montreal, Grande debuted the title track from Petal live, three days before the album’s July 31 release. The song became a permanent part of the show, performed just before “we can’t be friends (wait for your love).” A later Montreal date added two more Petal tracks, “Stay” and “Oh Well,” to the rotation. The album’s lead single, “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the closing stretch of each show added weight.
Ticketing, Pricing, and the Ticketmaster Lawsuit
Face-value tickets for the Eternal Sunshine Tour ranged from roughly $75 to $799, including fees. Grande’s team opted out of dynamic pricing to keep face-value costs more stable, and Grande publicly said resale markups were “not right” and that she was “incredibly bothered” by them. Despite that, resale tickets for the Los Angeles shows ranged from about $780 to more than $7,000, and both Ticketmaster and SeatGeek experienced technical crashes during presale.
The broader ticketing environment surrounding the Eternal Sunshine Tour became part of a larger legal fight. In September 2025, the Federal Trade Commission and seven state attorneys general sued Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation, alleging bait-and-switch pricing, hidden fees as high as 44% of a ticket’s cost, and broker-driven ticket harvesting that fed inflated resale markets. In January 2026, Ticketmaster said tickets it canceled for scalper-related violations would be reissued directly to verified fans through a request process. Separately, some early tour dates were rescheduled for production reasons, a change announced directly by Grande and venue partners.
Grande’s Plan to Step Back After the Tour
On August 2, 2026, a representative for Grande told press that she plans to “take a step back from visibility” once the tour ends, citing “endless, ongoing public scrutiny” over her health and appearance. The statement followed public concern from fans after the release of her “Petal” music video, which directly addresses criticism she has faced.
As part of that shift, Grande withdrew from a planned West End revival of Sunday in the Park with George, in which she was set to co-star with Jonathan Bailey at the Barbican in 2027. The production confirmed her role will be recast and the show will open as planned.
During later performances in Chicago, Grande addressed the decision herself, telling fans it had been made well in advance and was not a reaction to recent events. She said she wanted time away from public-facing work after months of intense media attention, while stressing that setting personal boundaries does not diminish her gratitude for fans. She also continued posting enthusiastic messages ahead of her final US shows, thanking supporters for the Eternal Sunshine Tour final stretch.
What Fans Should Know Now
The remaining Chicago dates and the full London residency are sold out, so any additional tickets are only available through resale platforms, typically well above face value. The setlist may continue to shift, based on the pattern of Petal songs being added mid-tour.
No new tour dates, albums, or acting projects have been officially announced beyond the September 1 London finale. Grande’s break has been described as open-ended and tied to her wellbeing rather than a fixed return date.
