Pop star Ariana Grande is set for a three-stop tour of the Chinese mainland.
The 24-year-old Grammy winner will make her debut in China in Beijing's Wukesong Arena on Saturday, followed by a stop in Shanghai Monday night and then Guangzhou on Wednesday.
As in many other parts of the world, Ariana Grande has managed to build a huge fan base in China. Her last album "Dangerous Woman," which was released last year, went platinum in 48 hours in China, surpassing the sales mark of 1 million copies. Currently, the album is set to achieve a six-time platinum record in China.
The performances in China are part of Grande's "Dangerous Woman" world tour, which became the target of a terrorist attack in Manchester back in May, which left 23 people dead and 250 others injured.
Grande suspended her tour following the incident, before resuming it in June. She returned to Manchester in early June to perform a benefit concert, which helped to raise 23 million dollars for the victims of the attack.
The city of Manchester later named her the first honorary citizen of Manchester.
After the three stops on the Chinese mainland, the "Dangerous Woman" tour will travel to Oceania before looping back to Taipei and Hong Kong.
