Ariana Grandes Inglewood Show Draws Celebrity Crowd as Eternal Sunshine Tour Continues

Ariana Grande opened the second leg of her 2026 concert series, The Eternal Sunshine Tour, on Wednesday, June 17, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The performance was attended by a number of high‑profile celebrities, including former co‑stars and music artists.

The tour began on June 6 at the Oakland Arena and will run through September 1, when Grande will close the run with five shows at the O2 Arena in London. In total, the tour will visit 41 cities across North America and the United Kingdom.

The Kia Forum, a historic indoor arena that opened in 1967, has hosted a wide range of sporting and entertainment events. Located on West Manchester Boulevard in Inglewood, the venue has a seating capacity of roughly 17,000 and is known for its distinctive cable‑suspended roof. It has been a frequent stop for pop acts and has hosted many celebrity‑filled performances.

At the Inglewood show, several well‑known personalities were spotted in the audience. Camila Mendes, who played Veronica Lodge on the CW series Riverdale, was among those seen. Demi Lovato, a singer and former Disney Channel star, also attended. Frankie Grande, Ariana’s brother and a former contestant on American Idol, was present, as was Liz Gillies, an actress best known for her role in the television series 13 Reasons Why. The rapper and singer Lizzo was also in attendance, and Madelaine Petsch, who starred in the television series Riverdale, was spotted in the crowd.

The presence of these celebrities highlights the crossover appeal of Grande’s music and the broad fan base that attends her concerts. Grande’s current tour supports her sixth studio album, Positions, released in 2020, and her seventh album, Eternal Sunshine, released in 2024. The tour’s setlist includes songs from both albums as well as earlier hits such as “Thank U, Next” and “7 Rings.”

The Eternal Sunshine Tour is Ariana Grande’s first arena tour since the Sweetener World Tour in 2019. The tour’s schedule was announced in August 2025 and includes 27 dates in North America, followed by five dates in London. The tour’s production is managed by Live Nation, and the shows feature elaborate staging, lighting, and choreography.

Grande’s performance in Inglewood was part of a broader summer run that has already drawn large crowds in cities such as Oakland, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Ticket sales for the tour have been strong, with many shows selling out within hours of release.

The tour’s final dates in London will take place at the O2 Arena, a venue that has hosted numerous international acts. The closing shows are scheduled to conclude on September 1, marking the end of a 41‑show run that has spanned the summer.

With the tour’s momentum, Grande is expected to continue touring through the end of the year, with potential additional dates in other markets. The tour’s success reflects Grande’s continued relevance in the pop music landscape and her ability to attract a diverse audience.

As the tour progresses, fans and industry observers will watch to see how Grande’s live performances evolve and how the presence of other high‑profile celebrities may influence the cultural impact of her shows.
