The Grande Comeback: Pop Princess Unveils 2026 Tour Following MTV VMA Triumph
In a move that has sent the fashion and entertainment worlds into a collective swoon, Ariana Grande—fresh from her commanding presence at the MTV Video Music Awards—has gifted her devoted followers with the most coveted announcement of the season: presale tickets for “The Eternal Sunshine” tour are officially live, marking the pop virtuoso’s triumphant return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus.
The Grammy-winning sensation, who has been captivating audiences with her ethereal portrayal of Glinda in the highly anticipated “Wicked” film adaptation, first teased this momentous tour announcement in late August. Now, as autumn’s crisp air settles over the cultural landscape, Grande’s fans find themselves in a frenzy of anticipation that rivals the season’s most exclusive runway shows.
Set to commence on June 6th in Oakland—a city that will undoubtedly witness fashion history in the making—the tour celebrates Grande’s critically acclaimed seventh studio album, “Eternal Sunshine,” a masterpiece that has redefined contemporary pop aesthetics. The album, along with its deluxe counterpart, has become the soundtrack to countless runway moments and editorial shoots, cementing Grande’s influence beyond music into the realm of cultural tastemaking.
For the fashion-forward faithful who missed the initial presale window (registration closed September 7th), redemption arrives Wednesday, September 10th, when general sales commence on Ticketmaster. However, the secondary market is already ablaze with activity—StubHub listings reveal opening night tickets commanding upwards of $600, a testament to the cultural currency Grande’s return represents.
This announcement follows the star’s July revelation to her devoted fanbase, where she promised to “sing for you all next year, even if it’s just for a little”—a statement that now reads as the most understated tease of the year. Having spent recent seasons focused on her acting prowess, particularly her spellbinding interpretation of the beloved Glinda, Grande’s return to touring feels like a homecoming for both the artist and her admirers.
The tour’s global reach extends beyond North American Ticketmaster sales, with UK fans able to secure their place in fashion history through Laylo. As presale madness continues and general sales loom, one thing remains crystal clear: Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” tour promises to be the must-see spectacle of 2026.
