It has been seven years since fans last saw Ariana Grande on a world tour. Now, the wait is finally over. The singer, who has been busy with films and other projects, has announced that she is stepping back into the spotlight with her ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour in 2026.

The news dropped on Wednesday when Ariana Grande teased the tour announcement on Instagram. Hours later, she officially revealed the dates, confirming what her followers had been hoping for.

The tour will begin on June 6, 2026, and will wrap up in London on August 23, 2026.

For now, the list includes nine big North American cities and a special five-night run in London. But this is just the beginning. There might be more shows in different parts of the world.

To make the reveal even more special, Ariana posted a teaser video inspired by her earlier short film ‘Brighter Days Ahead’. In the clip, she appears standing at a microphone, setting the mood for her big comeback.

The short film released earlier this year with the deluxe edition of her 2024 album ‘Eternal Sunshine’. That deluxe release included six new songs and became an instant hit, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Ariana kept it short and sweet. “See you next year,” she wrote, along with the tour dates.

This upcoming tour will be Ariana’s first since 2019, when she wrapped up her successful ‘Sweetener’ and ‘Thank U, Next’ tour. Since then, she has been mostly away from the stage.

In Hollywood, Ariana is making waves. She is currently filming ‘Focker In-Law’, the fourth part of the beloved ‘Meet the Parents’ comedy series.

But her most talked-about role has been in the two-part film adaptation of ‘Wicked’. Ariana plays Glinda, starring opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba. Her performance in the first part of ‘Wicked’ even earned her an Oscar nomination.
