Just weeks after playing Talking Stick Resort Arena on May 14, Ariana Grande has announced an extension to her Sweetener World Tour. She will return to Phoenix for another show at Talking Stick on Thursday, December 12.

Grande is touring behind two albums released in the last 12 months, 2018's Sweetener and this year's thank u, next, which takes its name from the single released last year. The song, which touches on her breakup with Pete Davidson and the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller, became the artist's first to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, also generated hit singles "7 Rings" and "Break Up With Your Boyfriend, I'm Bored."

Tickets for the new show will be available via Ticketmaster on Wednesday, June 26. Find all the newly announced tour dates below.
