Mariah Carey - Queen of Christmas

Mariah Carey is playing Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Saturday 3 July 2027, starting at 6:00 PM. It's one of only four UK dates on her European Firefly Summer Festivals Tour, and she's billed as the 'Queen of Christmas' for the show.

If you're not familiar with the numbers, they're quite something. She's the best-selling female artist of all time, with more than 200 million albums sold and 19 Billboard Hot 100 Number 1 singles, 18 of which she wrote herself. She's a five-time GRAMMY winner and a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, and she picked up a 2023 BRIT Billion Award. Her 1994 holiday single 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is one of the longest-charting singles in any genre, spending 65 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and making her the first artist to score a No. 1 hit across four consecutive decades.

There's new material to draw from, too. She released her sixteenth studio album, Here For It All, earlier this year and celebrated 25 years of Glitter with an expanded edition. And she's not just about the music: her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, debuted at Number One on the New York Times Best Seller list.

So, the date is Saturday 3 July 2027, 6:00 PM at Scarborough Open Air Theatre, one of four UK stops on the European Firefly Summer Festivals Tour.
