Mariah Carey is heading back to Europe next summer. The singer announced on Monday morning 9 November 2026 a nine-show European summer run, the Firefly tour, for 2027 — her sixteenth concert tour, made up of festival headline performances.
The run opens on 24 June 2027 at Mølleparken in Sønderborg, Denmark, and closes on 20 July at the Moon & Stars Festival in Locarno, Switzerland. In between, Carey plays four UK dates: Powderham Castle Grounds in Exeter on 27 June, Cardiff Castle on 29 June, Blenheim Palace Grounds in Oxfordshire on 1 July, and Scarborough Open Air Theatre on 3 July. The tour also stops at Jazz Open in Stuttgart, Germany on 8 July, the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy on 11 July, and Francofolies de Spa in Belgium on 14 July.
Carey, 57, announced the dates on Instagram, writing: “Lambs!! Join me next summer on the Firefly tour!! Excited to see all of you in Europe!” General ticket sales open on Friday 13 November at 9 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster and individual venue websites, with a UK pre-sale beginning on 12 November.
Before the summer run, Carey plays three sold-out UK Christmas arena shows in Birmingham, London and Manchester starting on 27 November 2026 — a reminder that the festive season belongs to her as much as any artist on the planet.
The Firefly tour is built around festival headline slots rather than a traditional arena run, which fits the mood of the announcement: big outdoor stages, summer evenings, and a greatest-hits set under the sky.
It has been a big week for music, from NCT Dream’s 10th anniversary album to Skepta’s first album in seven years. Mariah Carey’s Firefly tour adds one more date to circle on the 2027 calendar.
