Ariana Grande fans in the UK have even more to celebrate. The pop superstar has announced the final schedule for her highly anticipated Eternal Sunshine world tour, including five extra shows in London after overwhelming demand.
Ariana Grande Expands London Shows
On September 16, 2025, Grande took to Instagram to confirm that the tour lineup is now complete. She revealed that she will perform five additional shows at the O2 Arena in London on:
- August 24
- August 27
- August 28
- August 31
- September 1
These new dates come on top of her previously announced London shows on August 15, 16, 19, 20, and 23. With ten performances in total, Grande will close out her world tour in London, making the UK the grand finale of her 2026 tour.
In her announcement, she shared an updated tour poster and simply wrote:
“i love you.”
Demand for the Eternal Sunshine Tour
The announcement follows weeks of intense anticipation. Tickets for the UK leg went on sale on September 18 and sold out in less than 15 minutes. Fans queued online in the hundreds of thousands, with many left frustrated after failing to secure a ticket.
Resale platforms such as StubHub, Viagogo, and Ticombo now list tickets at inflated prices, highlighting just how massive the demand for Ariana Grande’s return to touring has been.
This marks Grande’s first world tour in seven years, since the 2019 Sweetener World Tour. With her new shows, Grande has confirmed a total of 41 concerts worldwide, beginning on June 6, 2026, in Oakland, California, and concluding in London on September 1.
Ariana Grande Addresses Ticket Resale Issues
The singer also addressed the ongoing issue of resale ticket inflation in a heartfelt statement shared on Instagram on September 13.
“What’s been happening with the secondary ticket resellers has been brought to my attention and of course I am incredibly bothered by it. My team and I are fighting for a solution so fans can get tickets at fair prices. It’s not right.”
She assured fans that both she and her team are working on ways to ensure tickets end up in the hands of real fans, not scalpers.
Grande Balances Music and Acting
While some fans worried Ariana Grande had stepped away from music to focus on acting, the star has made it clear that her passion for music remains strong.
Grande is currently starring as Glinda in Wicked and Wicked: For Good, projects that have kept her busy on set. But she has reassured fans that singing remains her priority.
In July 2025, she addressed concerns directly:
“It is and has always been my lifeline. There will need to be room made for all of it.”
The Eternal Sunshine Era
Grande released her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, in March 2024, followed by Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead in March 2025. The project has been praised as one of her most personal and emotional works, blending pop and R&B with deeply introspective lyrics.
At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Grande won Video of the Year, Best Pop, and Best Long Form Video for her hit single “Brighter Days Ahead,” further cementing her influence in pop music.
The upcoming Eternal Sunshine tour will showcase this music live for the first time, making it one of the most anticipated pop events of 2026.
