The sun is shining on Ariana Grande fans Thursday (Aug. 28), as the pop star has announced a select run of tour dates in support of her 2024 album, Eternal Sunshine.

Sharing a tour poster on Instagram, Grande revealed that she’ll be hitting the road in 2026. Starting June 6 in Oakland, Calif., the Wicked actress will travel through Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Montreal and more North American cities before finishing with five shows at the O2 Arena in London in August.


“see you next year,” Grande wrote in her caption.

The musician also shared that a presale for shows in the United States and Canada will kick off Sept. 9, while a presale for the London concerts will go live Sept. 16. To take part in the presales, Arianators have until Sept. 7 to sign up on Grande’s website.

Fans have been waiting for this moment for quite some time, with Grande last touring in 2019. She has not properly hit the road since the Sweetener World Tour wrapped that December, and she has since expressed feeling hesitant to embark on another trek.

“I think my fans know that music and being on stage will always be a part of my life,” she told Variety last year when asked whether she’d be touring for Eternal Sunshine anytime soon. “I think the next few years, hopefully we’ll be exploring different forms of art, and I think acting is feeling like home right now.”

In July, however, the Grammy winner gave fans new hope. “Very silly of you all to assume that just because i have my hands full with many things that i plan to abandon singing & music … !!!” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “It may not look exactly like it did before but i much prefer how it looks in my head … so i’m working on a plan to sing for you all next year. even if it’s just for a little.”

Released in March 2024, Eternal Sunshine spent three weeks atop the Billboard 200, marking Grande’s sixth No. 1 on the chart. The album spawned two No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).”
