Ariana Grande has announced that her highly anticipated The Eternal Sunshine Tour in 2026 will be her “last hurrah” in touring for a long time, as she shifts her focus to her acting career.
Speaking to actress-comedian Amy Poehler on her podcast Good Hang With Amy Poehler, Grande teased that the upcoming tour could likely be the end. “The last 10 or 15 years will look very different to the ones that are coming up,” she shares.
“I don’t want to say anything definitive. I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long, long time. I’m going to give it my all, and it’s going to be beautiful,” she adds.
The “we can’t be friends” singer’s upcoming fifth concert tour and fourth arena tour will be her return to live touring since 2019, which will run from June to September 2026 across Europe and North America. She will soon follow it with her 10-show residency at The O2 in London between August and September.
Grande took a break from touring due to her several acting commitments and projects, including Wicked and its sequel, Wicked: For Good, where she stars as Glinda.
Additionally, in the podcast episode, Grande also teased her upcoming role in the 2026 film Focker In-Law, as Olivia Jones. She talked about doing burpees and high knees with co-star Robert De Niro and revealed she felt like a triathlete. She will also lend her voice in the 2028’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, an animated film adaptation of the Dr. Seuss children’s picture book.
