Ariana Grande Scales Back 2026 Tour Plans

Pop superstar Ariana Grande is set to embark on her "Eternal Sunshine" world tour in June 2026, but with a notably reduced scale. The tour, scheduled to begin in Oakland, California, and conclude in London by late August, will feature approximately 45 shows. This marks a significant downsizing compared to her previous tours, which Grande stated were roughly double the number of planned performances.

Grande shared in a recent interview that she has been actively healing her connection to music and the touring experience over the past few years. She revealed that her time portraying Glinda in the "Wicked" films has been instrumental in building the strength and resilience required to re-engage with her music career and touring life. This process has helped her put past traumas associated with fame and performance behind her.
