Ariana Grande has rescheduled three upcoming dates on her Eternal Sunshine Tour after production issues raised safety concerns ahead of the concerts. The changes affect one show in Brooklyn and two performances in Boston, with Grande assuring fans that the decision was made to protect both the audience and crew while preserving the production as originally designed.
Barclays Center announced that Grande’s July 12 concert in Brooklyn has been moved to Tuesday, July 14.
The venue stated: “ARIANA GRANDE’S BROOKLYN PERFORMANCE SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY, JULY 12 AT BARCLAYS CENTER HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO TUESDAY, JULY 14 TO ENSURE THE FULL PRODUCTION CAN BE DELIVERED SAFELY AND AS INTENDED.”
Fans who purchased tickets for the original date will be able to use them for the rescheduled performance, while the remaining Brooklyn shows will proceed as planned.
Boston’s TD Garden also confirmed adjustments to two dates. The July 22 show has been moved to July 23, while the July 24 concert will now take place on July 26. The performance scheduled for July 25 remains unchanged.
Ariana Grande addressed the changes by reposting both venue announcements on social media.
“we are so sorry for these unfortunate scheduling changes. this was our best and safest option as these challenges with production have come to our attention. the utmost important thing to us all is safety, first and foremost, and also making sure you all see the show how it is intended to run. thank you so much for your understanding and i cannot wait to see you.”
The announcement arrives shortly after Grande completed three sold-out performances at Austin’s Moody Center. Those concerts generated widespread online discussion after she updated the lyrics to “thank u, next” during consecutive nights, first singing “Now they still kinda slap” before changing the line again to “I know he still got my back,” while former boyfriend Ricky Alvarez watched from the VIP section.
The production adjustments also come less than a month before Grande releases her seventh studio album, Petal, on July 31. The project has already produced the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “hate that i made you love me,” while the Eternal Sunshine Tour continues to build anticipation through lyric changes, surprise moments, and evolving stage production.
