Ariana Grande tour kicks off tonight in Oakland after 7-year hiatus

Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour kicks off tonight at Oakland Arena in Oakland, California, marking her return to the road after a seven-year hiatus. The North American leg of the tour, which begins at 8:00 PM, represents her first headlining concert dates since the Sweetener World Tour concluded in December 2019.

The Eternal Sunshine Tour will run through North America and Europe before concluding in London at The O2 Arena in September 2026. Grande announced the tour in August 2025 and has described it as her “last hurrah” for a long time, suggesting this may be her final tour for the foreseeable future.

Tonight’s opening show in Oakland is one of three consecutive nights the pop star will perform in the Bay Area, with additional dates scheduled for June 9 and June 10. The tour spans 41 shows across major North American cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and New York before heading to Europe.
