Ariana Grande — The Eternal Sunshine Tour • Oakland Arena, 7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland, CA • June 6, 9 & 10, 2026

Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour kicks off in North America at the Oakland Arena, marking her first headlining shows in the Bay Area since December 2019. Three dates, not one, announced for Oakland after fan demand pushed organizers to add a third night within days of the first two selling out.

Grande steps into a different era this time. The Sweetener World Tour crossed three continents across 56 dates and grossed over $146 million. The Eternal Sunshine Tour arrives with a “revolutionary rolling house stage” reported to be the first of its kind deployed in North America, opening at the Oakland Arena before continuing through the U.S. and Europe.

Ticketmaster.com handles primary sales for all three Oakland dates. Resale prices on the secondary market currently start around $549 to $748 depending on the date and seat location, per secondary market listings. VIP packages across three tiers include access to Ari’s VIP lounge, official laminates, and pre-show merchandise shopping.

Ariana Grande’s Career: Why This Oakland Run Matters

Grande has held five simultaneous top 10 positions on the Billboard Hot 100, matching only the Beatles in 1964 and Drake in 2018. She is the first artist to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 with her first three chart entries — “Thank U, Next,” “7 Rings,” and “Positions,” all released on Republic Records.

Eternal Sunshine, released March 8, 2024, on Republic Records, produced “we can’t be friends (wait for your love)” and “the boy is mine” as its lead crossover singles. Both cracked the Hot 100 top 5. The album marked Grande’s first release after her starring role as Glinda in Jon M. Chu’s Wicked (Universal Pictures, 2024), opposite Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba.

Oakland Arena hosted Grande on the Dangerous Woman Tour in March 2017 and again on the Sweetener World Tour in December 2019. The 2026 run is her first return to the venue since that December 2019 date.

Oakland Arena Venue Guide — Ariana Grande 2026

Best Seats for the Eternal Sunshine Tour

Floor GA and lower bowl sections in the 100s directly facing the stage give the best sightlines to the rolling house stage setup. Upper bowl sections 200 and above offer unobstructed views at lower price points. The rolling house stage design, per KRON4 reporting, extends the performance area further into the floor than a standard thrust, so even mid-floor positions land close to the action.

Oakland Arena Bag Policy

All bags must be smaller than 14 inches by 14 inches by 6 inches. Backpacks of any size are prohibited. High-profile shows at Oakland Arena have enforced a mandatory clear bag requirement for faster security screening, and the Ariana Grande dates are expected to follow that standard. Oakland Arena does not provide bag check service, so plan accordingly.

Getting to Oakland Arena via BART

BART drops passengers at the Coliseum Station directly adjacent to Oakland Arena at 7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland, CA 94621. The Coliseum stop sits on the Orange and Blue lines. Trains run from San Francisco’s Powell Street Station in under 20 minutes. The station is a four-minute walk from the arena entrance. BART is the fastest and cheapest option for all three show nights.

Pre-paid parking passes are available online through the official Oakland Arena site and sell out before event night. The parking gates open at 6:00 PM on all three dates.
