Mariah Carey is bringing Christmas back to the UK this winter, announcing three arena shows in Birmingham, London and Manchester. The self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas will begin the short UK run at Utilita Arena Birmingham on Friday, 27 November before heading to The O2 in London on Monday, 30 November and Co-op Live in Manchester on Wednesday, 2 December.
The shows will combine Mariah’s festive catalogue with some of her biggest hits and fan favourites, including “Fantasy”, “Hero”, “Always Be My Baby”, “We Belong Together”, “Emotions”, “Touch My Body” and, naturally, “All I Want for Christmas Is You”.
Mariah Carey UK Christmas Tour 2026 Dates
Friday, 27 November – Utilita Arena, Birmingham
Monday, 30 November – The O2, London
Wednesday, 2 December – Co-op Live, Manchester
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday, 25 September through Live Nation.
The tour follows Mariah’s previous Christmas shows around the world and gives UK fans another chance to hear the festive songs that have become such a huge part of her career. “All I Want for Christmas Is You”, originally released in 1994 on Merry Christmas, reached No. 1 in the UK for the first time in 2020 and has remained a major part of the charts every festive season since. Her UK return also follows the release of her 16th studio album, Here For It All, last year, which became another Top 10 entry on the Billboard 200.
For CultureCues, it is hard to imagine Christmas without Mariah at this point, and we are already counting this as one of the big festive nights of the year. Birmingham, London and Manchester all getting a show should make this a huge one for fans, especially with “All I Want for Christmas Is You” guaranteed to be part of the night. Christmas officially starts on 27 November this year.
Mariah Carey’s UK Christmas tour begins in Birmingham on 27 November, with tickets on sale from 10am on Friday, 25 September.
