Yes, it might be a little early to get serious about Christmas. But we’ve already got huge news for the 2026 festive season. None other than Mariah Carey – the ‘Queen of Christmas’ herself – has revealed plans for a UK tour this winter.
Carey hosts a series of Christmas spectaculars every year, and this time it’s the UK’s turn. The ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ singer will be playing British arenas in November and December as part of her Christmastime 2026 Tour. It’s her first UK tour since 2019.
‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ was released way back in 1994 but hit number one in the UK in 2020. It has been in the festive top five every year since.
Can’t wait to hear ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ belted out to an arena at full volume? Here’s what you need to know about Mariah Carey’s 2026 Christmas UK tour, from when tickets go on sale to presale information.
