“I’ve been working on the setlist for months now. It’s in a good place, but we’ll never know until we get into the rehearsals — which are starting very soon — and we put things on their feet if it’ll make sense or not,” Grande said. While fans are eager for more details, she confirmed that the show is shaping up well.

Despite the growing excitement, the 32-year-old singer is keeping most of the tour details under wraps. “I want to let it be a surprise,” she added, leaving audiences curious about which hits and new tracks will feature in the performances.
Earlier in November 2025, Grande spoke to Nicole Kidman for Interview magazine about the tour, revealing that it will include fewer stops than some of her past tours. “We’re doing a small amount compared to what I used to do back in the day. I think it’s 45 shows. It’s not that small, but it’s at least half of what I used to do,” she explained.
The Eternal Sunshine Tour is scheduled to kick off on June 6 in Oakland, California, and fans can expect a carefully curated mix of her biggest hits and fan favorites. Grande’s approach shows a focus on quality and creativity, promising a memorable experience for concertgoers.
