Ariana Grande just confirmed the last round of shows for her 2026 Eternal Sunshine Tour, and London is getting the biggest love. On September 16, 2025, the pop queen announced five new O2 Arena dates for August 24, 27, 28, and 31, with a final encore on September 1. These fresh dates stack on top of her earlier London shows scheduled for August 15, 16, 19, 20, and 23. If you’re in the UK, consider this your golden ticket moment!
This updated announcement follows Ariana Grande’s addition of extra nights in major cities across North America, including Oakland, Los Angeles, Austin, Sunrise, Atlanta, New York, Boston, Montreal, and Chicago. When the tour kicks off in 2026, it will be the singer’s first global run since her Sweetener World Tour wrapped back in 2019. Although Eternal Sunshine is smaller in scale, the Grammy winner made it clear she wants healthier, more intentional performances.
Unfortunately, this announcement hasn’t been well-received by a portion of the artist’s fandom, specifically those living in Asia, Africa, and South America. Many have taken to social media to express their frustration over the limited concert dates. Following the criticism from some of the fans, Ariana’s makeup artist stepped in and told non-American Arianators to “book a flight” to see her live, causing more controversy:

If you tour to privilege the same fans of always, it would be better not to announce anything. Asia and South America also exist, and it's not easy for most people to just buy a plane ticket that costs five times the price of a concert ticket like your makeup artist just said.… https://t.co/IBknlkxZc3

This isn’t really a “mini-tour” anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad there are so many dates since it gives more fans the chance to see her and it shows she’s ready to get back on stage. But I still think it’s a problem that all the European shows are only in London.… pic.twitter.com/z8uOh7ITis

Ariana Grande has also been fighting ticket resellers after fans struggled to score seats during the first presales. She told her followers she was on the phone nonstop trying to make things fair so that her actual fans could get the tickets. And while the Eternal Sunshine Tour is shaping up to be a short run of concerts, it’s great to see that the “Into You” singer is returning to live shows under her own terms.
