Ariana Grande is finally hitting the road again. The Grammy winner and Wicked star announced her upcoming tour and 2026 dates on Instagram with a simple promise: "see you next year."

The Eternal Sunshine Tour, her first tour in seven years, will support her 2024 chart-topping album (and its deluxe edition, Brighter Days Ahead). The run kicks off June 6, 2026, in Oakland, and after sweeping across the country, Grande will close the U.S. leg of her tour right here in Chicago.

She’ll headline the United Center on August 3 and August 5, her only Chicago dates. Expect arena-sized spectacle paired with Grande’s signature vocal fireworks, plus a setlist pulling from across her decade-long career, from Yours Truly to Eternal Sunshine.

This will no doubt be the highlight of the summer, and tickets will be in high demand, so register now for presale access or get ready to hop online when the general sale opens on September 10. Seven years is a long wait, so mark your calendars to make sure you get tickets.
