Ariana Grande is hitting the road.
Fresh off an Oscar nomination and amid the upcoming release of Wicked: For Good later this year, the singer took to social media to announce her The Eternal Sunshine tour dates for 2026 with the caption, “see you next year.”
The tour, which marks her first in seven years, kicks off in Oakland, Calf., on June 6, 2026. The rest of the initial dates include North American cities Los Angeles, Austin, Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston, Montreal and Sunrise, Fla., as well as a five-night run in London.
Grande’s last tour ended in December 2019 in support of her Sweetener and Thank U, Next albums. Her seventh studio album eternal sunshine released last March and featured the hits “yes, and?” and “we can’t be friends (wait for your love).”
Grande’s announcement follows her recent cryptic post on her Instagram in the vein of her Brighter Days Ahead short film to accompany the deluxe version of the album. In the short video, a company screen shows the message “corrupt file found and corrected.” Above the message shows the filename, “08.06 // est_26.”
The screen then jumped to “See you next year… Announcement loading…”
In addition to music, Grande is set to continue with upcoming acting projects including Focker In-Law, the fourth film of the Meet the Parents franchise and Jon M. Chu’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go! animated feature adaptation alongside Josh Gad. Despite having a slate of upcoming projects, the singer has already assured fans that music is still her first love.
“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 … !!! It is and has always been my lifeline. There will need to be room made for all of it,” the “yes, and?” singer said in the caption of a post.
“It may not look exactly like it did before but I much prefer how it looks in my head. I am having fun. I feel grateful and excited and inspired. Finding a balance, between many projects and endeavors I love, and doing it my own way, so I’m working on a plan to sing for you all next year; even if it’s just for a little,” she added. “I love you.”
