Ariana Grande announces Atlanta arena concert
Pop’s newest princess, Ariana Grande, will embark on a headlining arena tour early next year and visit Philips Arena at 7:30 p.m. March 24.
Grande, a ubiquitous radio presence this summer with the hit “Problem,” featuring Iggy Azalea, is supporting her sophomore record, “My Everything,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart last month.
She followed that smash with “Break Free” and “Bang Bang” (with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj), which both climbed into the Top 5. She'll also perform as the musical guest on the season opener of "Saturday Night Live" Sept. 27.
Grande’s tour will launch Feb. 25 in Kansas City, Mo., and run for 25 dates.
Tickets for her Atlanta show are on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 20 viawww.ticketmaster.com and www.livenation.com, as well as the Live Nation app. Pre-sales for fan club members and Citi credit card holders (www.citiprivatepass.com) begin at 10 a.m. Sept. 15 and Sept. 16, respectively. Tickets are $29.50-$69.50.
