Ariana Grande certainly is thinking grandly for her first major North American headlining tour. The former Nickelodeon teen star -- who shot to Top 40 fame over the past year with her singles "Problem" and "Break Free" – will hit Xcel Energy Center on Sunday, March 1, as part of her so-called The Honeymoon Tour.
Tickets go on sale Sept. 20 at 10 a.m. at prices yet to be announced through Ticketmaster and the X's box office. Prices in other cities on the tour are listed for a $40-$80 range.
Grande already played the St. Paul arena once as part of KDWB's 2013 Jingle Ball lineup last December – where she was way down on the bill below Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Flo Rida and Fall Out Boy. There's no word yet who will be opening for her this time around. It probably won't be her "Problem" partner Iggy Azalea, who is similarly taking a big leap as a headliner and already slated to play TCF Bank Stadium on Oct. 17.
The 21-year-old Florida native first transitioned into the pop world with her 2013 debut album, "My Everything," which was boosted by the Mac Miller-accompanied single "The Way." Before that, she was best-known for her stints starring in the Nickelodeon series "Sam & Cat" and "Victorious." Her latest record, "My Everything," is sitting strong at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart two weeks after its release.
