Ariana Grande has expanded the London leg of her Eternal Sunshine Tour, adding five new shows at The O2 Arena after overwhelming fan demand. Originally scheduled for August 15, 16, 19, 20, and 23, the pop superstar will now also perform on August 24, 27, 28, 31, and September 1, 2026.
Tickets for the UK dates went on sale this morning (September 16), and demand immediately sent Ticketmaster UK into chaos. Fans reported long queues, with thousands waiting to secure seats. At points, the site temporarily crashed under the traffic.

With these additions, Grande will now headline ten nights at The O2 Arena, making this one of the venue’s biggest pop residencies in recent years. The move follows a similar pattern across North America, where she quickly extended her tour stops in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Boston, and Chicago after initial dates sold out within minutes.
The tour supports her new album, Eternal Sunshine, and its deluxe edition Brighter Days Ahead. Both projects debuted at No. 1 worldwide, fueling anticipation for her long-awaited return to the stage.
The added London dates also come after Ariana publicly acknowledged frustrations over ticket resellers. On September 13, she spoke directly to fans via Instagram, saying she was “incredibly bothered” by inflated secondary market prices and working with her team to ensure more tickets go to real fans.
“Hopefully, we will be able to get more of these tickets into your hands instead of theirs,” she told her followers, emphasizing her commitment to making the tour accessible despite demand far outpacing supply.
The Eternal Sunshine Tour begins June 6, 2026, in Oakland, California, before moving through dozens of cities across North America and Europe.
