Mariah Carey is set to return to the UK this winter for a brief series of festive concerts.
The 57-year-old American pop icon, best known for her perennial 1994 holiday anthem “All I Want for Christmas is You”, will play three dates in UK as part of her Christmastime tour.
Her limited schedule includes appearances in Birmingham, London and Manchester, alongside a single night in Malta.
Revealing the tour on Instagram on Monday, the singer wrote: "My Christmastime Tour is coming to the UK & Malta! I can’t wait to celebrate with you all!"
Carey’s tour opens at Utilita Arena in Birmingham on Friday November 27, before moving to London’s O2 on Monday November 30.
The UK leg concludes at Manchester’s Co-Op Live on Wednesday December 02, after which she will perform at the MFCC venue near Valletta in Malta.
The pop star previously staged a Christmastime In Las Vegas residency last year.
This upcoming run marks nearly a decade since her 2018 All I Want For Christmas Is You Tour across the UK and Europe.
It comes a year after Carey was awarded $92,000 after a judge dismissed a lawsuit against her over her perennial festive hit.
In 2022 and then again in 2023, country musician Andy Stone, who performs as Vince Vance, filed a civil lawsuit against Carey alleging that Carey copied his 1989 song, also titled “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Stone was seeking $20 million in damages.
As Rolling Stone reported, Stone’s copyright infringement suit was dismissed in March 2024. Court documents then revealed that the judge has now ordered Stone to pay Carey $92,303.20 in sanctions.
Over her career, Carey has achieved three UK number one singles: her 1994 festive hit, her 1994 track “Without You”, and her 2000 cover of Phil Collins’ “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)” alongside Irish band Westlife.
Her acclaimed albums include 1993’s Music Box, 1995’s Daydream and her 1994 seasonal album Merry Christmas.
She also performed at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
Tickets for the Christmastime Tour will go on sale on Friday, September 25.
