Mariah Carey is coming to Manchester for the first time in almost a decade - here's how to get tickets
Mariah Carey has announced her first UK tour in seven years, with shows in Birmingham, London and Manchester.
Every year, the pop icon brings festive cheer with a series of Christmas shows - and now it’s finally the UK’s turn to experience the magic of her Christmastime Tour.
This autumn and winter, Mariah will perform at three UK cities: Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on November 27, The O2 in London on November 30, and Manchester’s Co-op Live on December 2.
Lovingly known as the Queen of Christmas, Mariah has become synonymous with the festive season since releasing All I Want for Christmas Is You in 1994.

The Manchester date will be particularly special for fans up north, as it will be her first show in the city since December 2017, when she performed the All I Want For Christmas Is You tour at Manchester Arena.
According to Ticketmaster, fans can expect a 'dazzling production bringing together her timeless festive catalogue, global hits and fan favourites'.
Mariah confirmed the news on Instagram and fans are understandably thrilled.
