Given the likely demand, fans hoping to secure reasonably priced tickets are encouraged to register for presale access and plan ahead for quick online purchases once sales open.

A Long-Awaited Return

Grande’s last global trek, the Sweetener World Tour, concluded in 2019 and was later featured in the Netflix concert film Excuse Me, I Love You. In the years since, she has focused on recording, starring in major projects like the upcoming Wicked film, and releasing Eternal Sunshine in 2024. Fans have waited eagerly for her return to the stage, and this announcement cements her status as one of pop’s most enduring performers.

From Oakland to London, Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour is set to be a highlight of the summer concert season. With presales beginning in early September and high demand already driving resale prices up, fans will need to act fast to secure tickets.
