She's set to perform in the capital on August 26 and down south on August 30, dates which seem like they're missing a certain city in the middle surely? If we were in the game of speculating on such things we might suggest that a Shanghai date is pencilled in for August 28 but still awaiting approval from the powers that be. But we're not, so we won't.
The singer's debut China tour was understandably thrown into doubt by the terrorist attack in Manchester on May 22. But following her decision to continue with her Dangerous Woman tour, Grande will be honouring the tour's Asia leg with shows in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong as well.

Originally a child star on Broadway and Nickelodeon, Grande has since gone on to become an award-winning singer, with her 2016 album Dangerous Woman making it to a number of Best Albums of the Year lists, including on The Guardian and Billboard.
