Ariana Grande Adds Multiple Dates to ‘Sweetener’ Tour
By Jem Aswad
LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – Ariana Grande has added multiple dates to her “Sweetener” world tour, which is scheduled to launch in March. Second arena shows have been added in major cities including Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Miami.
Produced by Live Nation, the tour is slated to begin March 18 in Albany, NY and wrap in Toronto on June 26. Fifth Harmony’s Normani and Social House will also perform on each stop.
American Express Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Tuesday, December 11 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets for the newly added dates will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, December 14 at 10 a.m. local time.
Grande received two Grammy Award nominations on Friday: Best Pop Vocal Album for “Sweetener” and Best Pop Solo Performance for the album’s “God Is a Woman.” While the tour bears the name of that album, Grande has been hard at work on a new album, which she says will be called “Thank U … Next,” the smash single she released just two months after “Sweetener” dropped. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and broke Spotify’s record for most streams by a female artist in a single week.
The tour dates appear below; international tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
