Ariana Grande is officially taking over London next summer. The chart-topping singer has doubled the length of her O2 Arena residency, adding five extra shows to meet unprecedented demand for tickets.
The Yes, And? star will perform ten nights at the iconic venue in August and September 2025, her only European dates as part of her Eternal Sunshine world tour.
Grande initially announced five shows, but after tickets for the presale sold out immediately, with over two million fans trying to buy passes on Tuesday alone, she decided to expand the run. The added dates make this one of the biggest residencies ever for a pop star at The O2.
The full list of dates now includes: August 15, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24, 27, 28, and 31, as well as September 1.
This will be Grande’s first UK performance since 2019, when she last toured with her Sweetener World Tour. Fans have been eagerly awaiting her return, and social media has been flooded with excitement since the new dates were announced.
“This is a dream come true. I haven’t seen her live since 2017 and now I get the chance to see her twice!” one fan posted on X.
Another wrote: “Ariana doing TEN shows at The O2? She’s about to shut London down.”
Grande’s Eternal Sunshine tour celebrates her critically acclaimed 2024 album of the same name, which featured the hit singles We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) and The Boy Is Mine. Known for her powerhouse vocals and spectacular staging, fans can expect a mix of emotional ballads, high-energy choreography, and dazzling visuals.
The decision to keep London as her only European stop is a major coup for UK fans, who will be flocking to the capital from across the continent. Travel companies are already reporting increased searches for hotels and flights to London in August, as international fans prepare to make the trip.
With ten shows at The O2, Ariana joins an elite club of artists who have headlined extended residencies at the venue, including Beyoncé, Drake, and Billie Eilish.
Tickets for the additional shows will go on general sale this Friday, and if the presale frenzy is anything to go by, they will sell out in minutes.
