The Eternal Sunshine Tour

In March 2024, Ariana Grande released her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine. Four months later, during an interview on the Shut Up Evan podcast, she stated she planned a "mini sampling of shows" supporting the album, adding that it would be "a really lovely idea to be able to trickle in some shows" between the releases of Wicked (2024) and Wicked: For Good (2025). Speculation arose that December of an announcement of a concert tour for the following year but Republic Records, Grande's label, denied the rumors, stating there were "no plans" for Grande to tour. That same month, during an interview with Variety, Grande stated that although "music and being on stage will always be a part of [her] life", she would not be touring "anytime soon", prioritizing acting for "the next few years". In July 2025, Grande teased potential shows for 2026 on social media, ending the caption with: "I plan to sing for you all next year. Even if its just for a little". At the end of August, Grande teased the tour on social media with a video that referenced her musical short film Brighter Days Ahead (2025). Live Nation Entertainment announced the tour a day later. == Commercial performance ==

Ticket sales Tickets for the Eternal Sunshine Tour sold out rapidly due to high demand, leading to widespread fan disappointment over technical issues and inflated prices on the resale market such as Stub Hub, Viagogo, and Vivid Seats: resale tickets for the Los Angeles shows ranged between $780 to over $7,000. Ticketmaster and SeatGeek crashed during the pre-sale, and fans reported experiencing long queues and technical glitches on the sites and other official ticketing platforms, which prevented them from purchasing tickets at face value. Fans also criticized Grande and Live Nation for booking arenas, arguing Grande's seven-year touring hiatus and the demand from her large fan base would have been better accommodated by larger venues such as stadiums. Grande released a statement addressing the high prices on the resale market, stating that it's "not right" and she is "incredibly bothered", urging ticket sellers to sell at face value. She also opted out of dynamic pricing, setting ticket prices to prioritize affordability. Following the events, Ticketmaster and Live Nation were sued by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), accused of bait-and-switch price advertising, using junk fees, and enabling ticket brokers to harvest tickets in violation of Ticketmaster purchase limits to sell them at marked-up prices on the company's own resale platform. In January 2026, Ticketmaster announced that canceled tickets (from scalper violations) are getting reissued directly to real fans via a request process in February 2026. Pre-sales for the North American leg began on September 9, 2025. 6 million users vied for tickets, including 1 million in Oakland and the Los Angeles area. New York City and Austin drew 300,000 and 230,000 people, respectively. Grande scheduled nine additional dates in response to the high demand. Tickets for the North American leg were sold out within minutes during both the presale and general sales periods. Pre-sales for Grande's shows at the O2 Arena in London were held on September 16, attracting 2 million possible buyers. Five new shows at the venue were announced during the original pre-sale. The London shows were met with huge commercial success, with all tickets being sold in 15 minutes. ==Tour dates==
