Summary

Grande Launches Tour

Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” tour marks her first concert trek in seven years, launching June 6 in Oakland.
The tour has sold out U.S. arenas, prompting analysts to cite demand as proof of her lasting commercial appeal.
After the U.S. leg, the itinerary adds Canadian dates and a September 1 finale at London’s O2 Arena.
The setlist blends “Eternal Sunshine” tracks with longtime hits, while fans praised Grande’s safety-first approach on Instagram.

Summary

Grande Fights Resale

Ariana Grande announced on June 29 via Instagram that she is fighting secondary-ticket sales that appeared after the 2025 tour sold out.
She said she spent every moment calling authorities and ticket platforms to curb resale profiteering and boost fan availability.
In a November 2025 “Good Hang With Amy Poehler” podcast interview, Grande hinted Eternal Sunshine Tour may be her “one last hurrah,” and listed five Brooklyn shows at Barclays Center July 13-19.

History

Historical Context

Ticketmaster’s 2010 merger with Live Nation gave the combined firm control of about 70 % of U.S. primary ticketing, prompting a 2023 Senate Judiciary hearing and a May 2024 DOJ antitrust suit that culminated in a 2026 jury finding of illegal monopoly. Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour now faces similar scrutiny as regulators push for transparent pricing.
