After a six-and-a-half-year layoff between tours, Ariana Grande has made a long-awaited return to the concert stage, with her \u201cEternal Sunshine\u201d tour kicking off at the Oakland Arena Saturday night. Variety was on hand for the show and has the full setlist, below; a full review will follow on Sunday..<\/p>\n
The name of the tour was an easy tip-off that the show would focus largely on material from the \u201cEternal Sunshine\u201d album, released in March 2024, and the deluxe edition that followed in March 2025). But she\u2019s actually released two new studio albums since she wrapped up her last tour in December 2019, 2021\u2019s \u201cPositions\u201d being the other, so there was plenty of material to draw upon that hadn\u2019t previously been a part of any Grande road show.<\/p>\n
More from Variety<\/p>\n
As for the forthcoming \u201cPetal\u201d album, that isn\u2019t due till July 31, so for now fans are only getting \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me,\u201d the first single, which came out May 29. Grande\u2019s tour continues through Sept. 1, so it remains to be seen whether she might introduce more songs from \u201cPetal\u201d into the setlist for the last lap of the tour.<\/p>\n
The \u201cEternal Sunshine\u201d tour is a fairly limited one and will definitely not be living up to the eternality of its name, with Grande having made it clear she is looking to have other irons in the fire beyond her music career. After three nights at the Oakland Arena, Grande will move on to do five nights in two L.A.-area arenas (June 13-14 at the Crypto Arena and June 17-20 at the Kia Forum). Then the North American tour continues in Austin, Sunrise, Fl., Atlanta, Brooklyn, Boston, Montreal and Chicago, concluding its stateside run Aug. 6. From there, she plays a 10-night stand at the O2 Arena in London, and that\u2019s all that is on the books.<\/p>\n
Demand for tickets has been at a premium. The lowest get-in-the-door price for any of the upcoming shows on the resale market is in the 500s, and that is for a handful of obstructed-view tickets. Virtually any tickets available through secondary sellers for floor seats or in the loge\/club sections of an arena are over $1,000. That could change if scalpers have to dump seats at the last minute, but prices have largely held firm as fans have realized this 11-city tour may really be the only chance to catch Grande for a long time if she plans to devote herself more fully to acting pursuits.<\/p>\n
