Ariana did not include Manchester with the rest of her European tour dates and that’s because she has something very special planned.  Ariana’s 19-date European leg will kick off on August 17 in London and she’ll perform in France, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Ireland, Norway, Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden and it’ll end in Zurich, Switzerland on October 13.

Following the announcement of the European dates, Ariana announced that she has something special planned for Manchester.  In a post on Instastory Ariana writes, “Manchester is not on this initial list because we are planning a special show.  We need a bit more time getting things together before we can announces that date but we are of course, coming and we love you.”

Popcrush explains, “It only makes sense that Ariana wants to plan a ‘special show’ for Manchester.  It was right after Ariana’s Dangerous Woman Tour stop at the Manchester Arena in May of 2017 that a terrorist bombing killed 22 fans.  Weeks later in early June, Ariana returned to Manchester for the One Love Manchester benefit concert, which she helped organize and performed at.  A handful of other big names in music like Miley Cyrus and Pharrell, also performed.  The show was set up to show support and raise money for the victims and their families.”
