Christmas is coming early for Mariah Carey fans, with the singer confirming a new run of UK arena shows for the end of 2026.
Carey will be heading to Birmingham first, where she will perform at the Utilita Arena on November 27. Three days later, she will take the festive show to London’s The O2, before wrapping up the UK dates at Manchester’s Co-op Live on December 2.
The singer will continue the tour overseas with a one-off Malta performance at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali, Attard, on December 8.
Carey announced the news on social media, writing: “My Christmastime tour is coming to the UK & Malta! I can’t wait to celebrate with you all!”
Fans will be able to get tickets from 10am BST on September 25, while pre-sales will open on September 23 and 24.
Carey has plenty of history with festive shows, having toured the UK and Europe with Christmastime in 2018 before taking the concept to Las Vegas last year.
The tour also follows a major anniversary for All I Want For Christmas Is You, which celebrated 30 years in 2024. The song took decades to reach the top of the charts, finally hitting No.1 in the US in 2019 and the UK in 2020.
