Ariana Grande Kicks Off 'Eternal Sunshine' Tour in Oakland

A theatrical five-act production that previews a Petal single signals her return to a short, high-demand arena run.

Overview

  • The tour, which opened on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Oakland Arena, delivered a 23-song show that placed about half the set on tracks from Eternal Sunshine.
  • Grande gave the live debut of several songs and previewed the Petal lead single, "Hate That I Made You Love Me," ahead of the album’s July 31 release.
  • The production used memory-erasure video interludes and dramatic staging, ending with Grande lifted into a suspended lighting structure during the finale.
  • The North American arena run continues through early August and concludes with a planned multi-night residency at London’s O2 Arena, and resale prices for many dates remain well above face value.
  • The comeback closes a six-plus year touring gap driven by Grande’s film work, and she has framed this compact run as a likely long pause from future large-scale touring.
