Pop superstar Ariana Grande has dropped a significant hint that her upcoming Eternal Sunshine Tour could mark the end of an era for her concert performances. During a recent appearance on Amy Poehler‘s Good Hang podcast, the Grammy-winning artist revealed that she has no plans to tour again for the foreseeable future.
“The last 10 or 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up,” Grande told Poehler. The 32-year-old singer went on to describe the tour as her last hurrah, stating that while she’s excited about the upcoming shows, another tour likely won’t happen again for an extremely long time.
The Eternal Sunshine Tour is scheduled to kick off on June 6, 2026, at Oakland Arena in California. After making stops across the United States and Canada, the tour will conclude on September 1, 2026, at London’s O2 Arena. The run marks Grande’s first extended series of concert dates since her 2019 Sweetener World Tour, representing a seven-year gap between major tours.
Grande expressed her commitment to making the tour special, saying she plans to “give it my all and it’s going to be beautiful.” The singer emphasized that this tour feels significant precisely because she views it as one final opportunity to connect with fans on this scale before shifting her creative focus.
The announcement comes as Grande has increasingly leaned into her acting career. Following her Oscar-nominated performance in Wicked, the artist has spoken openly about wanting to explore different creative endeavors. She explained that years of nonstop pop stardom had taken over her life, and she now seeks a more balanced approach that allows room for both music and acting.
Meanwhile, demand for the Eternal Sunshine Tour has proven overwhelming. Tickets sold out within minutes during both presales and general sales, with 6 million users competing for North American dates alone. Grande acknowledged fans’ frustrations with inflated resale prices, promising to fight for solutions to get tickets into fans’ hands rather than into scalpers’ hands.
The tour consists of 41 shows total, with Grande performing 10 nights at London’s O2 Arena. While the artist hasn’t definitively stated this will be her absolute last tour ever, her comments strongly suggest fans shouldn’t expect to see her on the road again anytime soon.
