Mariah Carey Sets a Three-City UK Christmas Arena Tour

Mariah Carey is bringing her holiday catalog back to UK arenas with three Christmastime shows scheduled for late November and early December 2026. The run will visit Birmingham, London and Manchester before moving to Malta for an additional concert.

The UK dates begin at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on November 27. Carey will then perform at The O2 in London on November 30 and Co-op Live in Manchester on December 2. A December 8 appearance at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali, Malta, follows the British shows.

Tickets go on sale this week

General ticket sales are scheduled to open at 10 a.m. BST on Friday, September 25, with presales taking place on Wednesday and Thursday. Live Nation’s listing independently confirms the London concert at The O2 on November 30, giving fans a primary ticketing page alongside the wider tour announcement.

Carey shared the news on social media with a short message saying she could not wait to celebrate with audiences in the UK and Malta. The compact schedule makes this a focused seasonal run rather than an extended European tour, with four arena dates spread across less than two weeks.

A holiday tradition built around a chart giant

The singer last mounted a Christmas tour through the UK and Europe in 2018 and staged a Christmastime in Las Vegas residency in 2025. Her seasonal concerts are anchored by “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” the 1994 single that has become a recurring chart event decades after its release.

The song first reached No. 1 in the United States in 2019 and topped the UK chart the following year. In late 2025, it extended Carey’s record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching a cumulative 22 weeks at the summit.

That staying power gives the newly announced dates a built-in sense of occasion: they are not simply another tour stop, but the latest chapter in a holiday show Carey has steadily turned into an annual pop institution. For UK fans, the immediate decision is practical—choose among Birmingham, London and Manchester before general sales begin Friday.
