Ariana Grande returned to touring after a six-plus year hiatus last night (June 6), kicking off her Eternal Sunshine tour with a performance at the Oakland Arena in California. The career-spanning performance encompassed 23 songs across three acts, showing love to massive hits and heads-know favorites alike. Check out footage from the night below.
During the show, Grande delivered a set list packed with some of her most successful singles ever, including “Break Free,” “Thank U, Next,” “Into You,” “Rain On Me” with Lady Gaga, and “Dangerous Woman.” She also gave a number of songs live debuts, including “Dandelion,” “Just Like Magic,” “Warm,” and her new song, “Hate That I Made You Love Me.” The latter is the only preview thus far of Grande’s forthcoming album Petal, which arrives on July 31; she premiered the track late last month alongside a revenge thriller of a music video starring Justin Long.
The Eternal Sunshine tour will continue over the coming months with stops in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and more. She’ll close out the run in August with five shows at London’s O2 Arena. Outside of the tour, Grande has multiple other projects soon to come, including a London revival of Sunday In the Park with George, which she’ll star in alongside Jonathan Bailey, and the premiere of Meet the Fockers.
