Ariana Grande concert chronology

The Sweetener World Tour is the upcoming fourth concert tour by American singer Ariana Grande, in support of her fourth and fifth studio albums, Sweetener (2018)[1][2] and Thank U, Next (2019).[3] The tour will begin on March 18, 2019, in Albany, New York at Times Union Center.[4]

Background

On May 6, 2018, Grande hinted at a tour via her official Twitter account,[5] shortly after announcing the title for her upcoming album on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[6] Three months later, she announced there were plans for a tour, stating that her team were "workin [sic] on it all now".[7] Grande embarked to a promotional concert tour for Sweetener, The Sweetener Sessions, which began on August 20, 2018, in New York, United States and ended on September 4, 2018, in London, England.[8][9] Tour passes were also made available via her official website shortly after.[10] Grande announced the title of the tour as the "Sweetener World Tour" on October 24, 2018,[11] announcing its North American dates a day later.[12]

The first leg of the tour is set to visit 42 cities across North America, beginning on March 18, 2019, in Albany, New York at Times Union Center and concluding on July 13, 2019, in Salt Lake City at Vivint Smart Home Arena.[1] Pre-sale for the tickets for the first leg of the tour took place between November 1 and November 3, 2018.[2] On November 5, 2018, tickets were opened to the general public, and Grande announced Normani and Social House as her opening acts.[13] On December 10, 2018, due to popular demand, second shows were added in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Brooklyn, New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, and Toronto.[14] On January 14, 2019, the shows in Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Saint Paul, Denver and Salt Lake City were rescheduled and the shows in Omaha and Raleigh were cancelled due to Grande headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 14 and April 21, 2019, and a new show was added in Las Vegas.[15]

On December 14, 2018, Grande announced the European dates for the tour.[16] A special show is being planned in Manchester.[17] The second leg of the tour is set to visit 19 cities across Europe, beginning on August 17, 2019, in London at The O2 Arena and concluding on October 13, 2019, in Zürich at Hallenstadion. Pre-sale for the tickets for the second leg of the tour took place between December 19 and December 21, 2018, for the United Kingdom, and between December 18 and December 20, 2018, for all other dates.[18] On December 20, 2018, tickets were opened to the general public (excluding the United Kingdom), and due to popular demand, additional shows were added in Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin.[19][20] On December 21, 2018, tickets were opened to the general public in the United Kingdom, and due to popular demand, additional shows were added in London and Birmingham.[21] On February 25, 2019, due to popular demand, additional shows were added in Hamburg and Dublin.[22]
