Grande, who released her latest album ‘Eternal Sunshine’ this year, has not toured since 2019’s ‘Sweetener’ stretch of shows. As it stands, 2025 will mark her sixth consecutive year without touring, as she focuses on other projects.
Despite rumours of Grande touring for ‘Eternal Sunshine’ next year – fan accounts on social media have claimed that Ticketmaster has registered 15 events in her name – Republic Records took to social media to write: “There are no plans for a tour next year, but Ariana remains deeply appreciative of her fans and all the continued love, support and excitement.”

NME has also confirmed that Ticketmaster’s site does not reflect any shows or dates registered for Ariana Grande.
Grande’s ‘Eternal Sunshine’ was named NME‘s 24th Best Album of the Year. The album itself scored a four-star review: “On the one hand, ‘Eternal Sunshine’ is a spacey but relatable break-up album defined by its emotional maturity. “We both know I couldn’t change you – I guess you could say the same,” she sings on the title track. On the other, it’s the most sophisticated project yet from a preternaturally talented vocalist who keeps getting better. Whatever you take away from it, ‘Eternal Sunshine’ definitely isn’t an album you’ll want to wipe from memory.”
Currently, Ariana Grande’s focused on promoting the hit musical adaptation Wicked, and will likely continue to do so leading up to November 2025’s second-half, Wicked: For Good.
In a four-star review of Wicked, Nick Levine wrote for NME: “Erivo and Grande are both vocally extraordinary. Crucially, they also have crackling chemistry punctuated by Erivo’s bursts of intensity and Grande’s slick comic timing. By the end, you won’t quite be levitating off your seat but you’ll definitely be enchanted enough to stream the soundtrack on the way home. Funny, colourful and full of empathy for outsiders, this film really is the Shiz.”
