MARIAH CAREY

Tuesday 29 June 2027

Cardiff Castle

Special Guests: ETERNAL

Mariah Carey, the best-selling female artist of all time, brings her Firefly Summer Festivals Tour to DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle on Tuesday 29 June 2027. It’s one of only four UK dates.

The singer, songwriter and producer has sold more than 200 million albums and scored 19 Billboard Hot 100 Number 1 singles, 18 of which she wrote herself. She has five GRAMMY Awards from 34 nominations, three Guinness World Records and the World Music Award for World’s Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium, and she is an inductee of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2023 she was one of the first 13 artists to receive the BRIT Billion Award for passing one billion UK streams.

Her 16th studio album, Here For It All, was released this year. It debuted in the Billboard 200 Top 10 and topped the Billboard charts for Top Album Sales, Top R&B Albums and Independent Albums, which extends a 35-year run of Top 10 albums. She also recently marked 25 years of fan favourite Glitter with an expanded deluxe edition containing 15 additional tracks. And as the Queen of Christmas, she has kept All I Want For Christmas Is You on the Billboard Hot 100 for 65 weeks, making it one of the longest-charting singles of all time.

Special guests on the night are Eternal. The powerhouse R&B group formed in 1992 and went on to sell more than 10 million records worldwide. Their debut album Always & Forever went four-times platinum, and they had 15 UK Top 20 hits, including the MOBO-winning Number 1 I Wanna Be the Only One. Easther Bennett, Vernie Bennett and Christel Lakhdar now bring the harmonies and the hits back to the stage.
