Pop mogul Ariana Grande is finally hitting the road again, lighting up the United Center with her sunshine on Monday, August 3 and Wednesday, August 5, 2026. The arena shows come as part of The Eternal Sunshine Tour, making her long-awaited return to live performance for the first time since 2019.
The tour is in support of her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine (2024), and its deluxe reissue Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead (2025), which was accompanied by a short film of the same name. Spanning 27 shows across North America and Europe, the summer run kicks off June 6 in Oakland and wraps August 23 in London.
Grande’s impact on the modern musical landscape comes with a long list of credentials. She’s sold over 90 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling artists ever. Every one of her studio albums is certified platinum or higher, with Thank U, Next spending a staggering 171 non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200. She’s also among the most-streamed women in history, with catalog numbers exceeding 120 million certified units in the U.S. She hasn’t just ruled charts, but also conquered the business world with her beauty brand R.E.M. Beauty racking up nearly $89 million in annual revenue.
After years building her wide-spanning portfolio in beauty, obtaining an Oscar nomination through the Wicked films, and recently joining a new Meet the Parents installment, this tour marks her return to the pop roots many fans grew up with more than a decade ago.
“We Can’t Be Friends” if you aren’t at the United Center on Monday, August 3 and Wednesday, August 5. Tickets go on sale through artist presales starting September 9, 2025, with general on-sale from September 10 on ticketmaster.com.
