Ariana Grande Reschedules Tour Dates Due To ‘Safety’ Concerns

Ariana Grande has announced that she’s rescheduling three shows on her current live show due to “safety” concerns relating to the concerts’ production.

The Wicked star is currently in the middle of her first world tour in seven years, in support of her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine.

On Monday evening, she announced that two dates on the US leg scheduled for next month are now being delayed to ensure the safety of those in attendance.

Her show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Sunday 12 July has now been bumped to Tuesday 14 July, while two shows in Boston on Wednesday 22 and Friday 24 July have been rescheduled to Thursday 23 and Sunday 26 July, respectively.

Responding to the news on Instagram, Ariana explained: “We are so sorry for these unfortunate scheduling changes. This was our best and safest option as these challenges with production have come to our attention.

“The utmost important thing to us all is safety, first and foremost, and also making sure you all see the show how it is intended to run. Thank you so much for your understanding and I cannot wait to see you.”

Once the US leg of Ariana’s Eternal Sunshine tour is done in August, she’ll bring the show across the Atlantic, where the European leg will consist of 10 nights at London’s O2 Arena.

“I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time,” she explained before hitting the road earlier in the summer.

“So, I’m going to give it my all. I think that’s why I’m doing it, because I’m like, ‘One last hurrah. For now’.”

Before the No Tears Left To Cry singer brings her Eternal Sunshine tour to the UK, she’s due to release her eighth studio album Petal, led by her recent chart-topping single Hate That I Made You Love Me.

Ariana previously teased that her new music is “full of life” and was inspired by “growing” in light of “cold and hard and challenging” life experiences.
