RALEIGH, N.C. — Multiplatinum, record-breaking superstar Ariana Grande has canceled her Raleigh show due to her upcoming headlining gig at the Coachella music festival.

The singer announced Monday that she is canceling her June 4 show at PNC Arena in Raleigh. It wasn't the only stop on "The Sweetener World Tour" to be canceled amid the singer's headlining gig at Coachella. Grande also canceled her show in Omaha. Grande's June 10 show in Charlotte will go on as planned.

Refunds will be issued from the point of purchase. Tickets purchased online or by phone are being automatically refunded.

Instead of playing Raleigh, Grande will be performing in Chicago on June 4 and 5. Her Chicago shows were originally scheduled for April 7 and 8.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is April 12-14 and 19-21 in Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. Other headliners include Childish Gambino and Tame Impala.

Grande made a surprise appearance at Coachella last year to perform songs including "No Tears Left to Cry," which was written in tribute to the victims of a suicide bombing at her Manchester concert in 2017.
