7 verified7 unconfirmed
Ariana Grande kicked off her “Eternal Sunshine” tour Saturday night at Oakland Arena, performing a 23-song set that heavily features her 2024 album of the same name and its 2025 deluxe edition. The show marks Grande’s first headlining tour in more than six years, following the conclusion of her “Sweetener” tour in December 2019. During the concert, she acknowledged the long gap and hinted that this may be her last tour for a significant period. The production centers on a stage design that resembles a flooded, burned house from the album’s visuals, and includes a loop-station segment during the title track where she asked the crowd to be quiet. Grande also paid tribute to her earlier work with performances of “Honeymoon Avenue” and “Thank U, Next,” the latter featuring a humorous reference to marriage. The show included choreographed numbers with a 12-member dance crew and a whip during “The Boy Is Mine.”
