Ariana Grande Brings the Eternal Sunshine Tour to Barclays Center
Ariana Grande takes the stage at Barclays Center in Brooklyn tonight at 8:00 PM ET for the Eternal Sunshine Tour — and once those doors close behind you, the weather outside stops mattering. Barclays is fully indoor, so tonight’s forecast is really just a factor for getting to your seat, not for the show itself.
Getting There: Plan for the Heat
The National Weather Service has Brooklyn sunny today with a high near 92°F and southwest wind at 10 to 16 mph. Precipitation chances are basically nonexistent at just 2%, so rain isn’t the concern — heat is.
If you’re walking from the subway, a rideshare drop-off, or a parking garage a few blocks out, that near-92°F afternoon heat will still be lingering into the early evening. The wind won’t do much to cool things off at 10 to 16 mph, so give yourself a little extra time for the walk in rather than rushing in the heat. Once you’re through security and inside the arena, none of this matters — Barclays Center is climate-controlled for the show.
What to Wear and Bring
Arena air conditioning can run cold once you’re inside for a few hours, so a light layer you can throw on over your concert outfit isn’t a bad call — you won’t need it for the walk over, but you might want it by the encore.
Rep your fandom on the way in with an Ariana Grande t-shirt or an Ariana Grande hat, both easy to wear comfortably in the heat outside and inside once the AC kicks in. If you want a lasting souvenir from the Eternal Sunshine Tour, an Ariana Grande poster is a nice pickup for after the show.
Arena shows get loud, and if you’re sensitive to high-volume sound systems, a pair of concert ear plugs high fidelity lets you enjoy the mix without the ringing ears afterward.
Practical Tips
Give yourself extra buffer time getting to Barclays Center given the heat — a rushed, sweaty walk in isn’t how you want to start the night. Check your ticket or the venue’s bag policy before you leave, since arenas typically restrict bag size and outside food or drink. Arrive with enough time to clear security and find your seat before the 8:00 PM ET start.
Once you’re inside, it’s all Ariana — no weather required.
