The singer kicked off her 2026 ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour at Oakland Arena in California yesterday, marking her first run of live dates in seven years . The trek features a huge 10-show residency at The O2 in London  between August and September, and you can  find any remaining tickets here .

She’s rarely played live since she completed her  huge tour in 2019 , only making a handful of appearances at non-profit events and  award shows . Grande also  performed on  Saturday Night Live  in 2024 . Around the time of the tour announcement,  Grande said it would likely be her “last hurrah” .

Though the tour was named after her 2024 album , Grande has also released 2021’s ‘ Positions ‘ since her last time on the road, meaning there were plenty of tracks receiving their live debut.

She opened the concert with the ‘Eternal Sunshine’ track ‘Yes, And?’, and played hits from across her career, such as ‘Thank U, Next’, ‘Dangerous Woman’ and ‘Honeymoon Avenue’, though she didn’t perform any songs from 2018’s ‘ Sweetener ‘.

As the show drew to a close, she performed her latest single, ‘Hate That I Made You Love Me’, which is currently the only track to have been released from her forthcoming album ‘Petal’ .

Check out a full setlist and clips from the show, below.

It will be made available in a range of digital and physical formats, and marks the highly anticipated follow-up to 2024’s ‘ Eternal Sunshine ’ and the deluxe edition, ‘ Brighter Days Ahead ’.

It comes after Grande reassured fans last year that  she wasn’t “abandoning” music  after turning her attention to acting.

In other news, Grande is due to appear in the comedy sequel  Focker-In-Law  alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. In summer 2027, she’s heading to London’s West End to star in  Sunday In The Park With George  opposite Jonathan Bailey. She also played Glinda The Good in  Wicked  and  Wicked: For Good .

Elsewhere, she recently shared fan-favourite song ‘Knew Better Part II’ to mark the 10th anniversary of her third album ‘Dangerous Woman’ .
