Who is Mariah Carey?
Mariah Carey is the singer-songwriter who grew up in New York and is known for her five-octave range and whistle notes. She broke through in 1990 with Vision of Love and holds the record among solo artists with 19 number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100. All I Want for Christmas Is You returns to the top of the charts almost every December.
Carey's concerts in recent years have been shaped largely by her holiday show, Mariah Carey's Christmas Time. In 2025 the show ran as a 10-date series at Dolby Live in Las Vegas. In 2026 Christmas Time goes outside the United States for the first time, with three concerts in Brazil in November.

A Christmas Time show or a regular concert?
Mariah Carey's Christmas Time shows are built on holiday songs, festive sets and a big All I Want for Christmas Is You finale, with part of the set given over to hits such as Fantasy and Hero. Regular concerts focus on her number-one songs from the 1990s and 2000s.
Read the event title carefully when buying: a date titled Christmas Time may have a different programme from the hits-filled set you expect.
Christmas Time in Brazil
The first international dates of Christmas Time take place in Brazil in November 2026; two concerts were announced first, and a third was added in August 2026. Check passport validity and entry requirements for your nationality before you travel.
For a long-haul concert trip, plan the ticket, flights and accommodation together with the going abroad for a concert guide.
Mariah Carey upcoming dates
What to expect from the setlist
Fantasy, Always Be My Baby, Hero, We Belong Together and Vision of Love are the most anticipated songs at Carey's concerts. Fans wait for the whistle-note moments, and at holiday shows the finale is always All I Want for Christmas Is You.
What to know before you go
- Check whether the event title includes Christmas Time.
- Holiday shows take place in November and December, when accommodation prices can rise.
- Listen rather than film during the whistle-note moments.
- On long-haul trips, arrive a day before the concert.
How to plan travel around the concert
Secure the ticket before booking flights or accommodation. Aim to arrive at least a day before the show and stay 20–30 minutes from the venue on a direct public transport line; a same-day flight that runs late can mean missing the concert.
If the tour has several stops, compare the combined cost of ticket, flights and two nights' stay across cities rather than the ticket price alone.
Keep planning
