Mariah Carey Announces Nine-Date European Summer Tour for 2027
Mariah Carey will play nine European shows next summer, starting in Denmark on June 24, 2027. The dates were announced on her Instagram and are being sold as the Firefly tour.
The run opens at Molleparken in Sonderborg, Denmark, and moves through the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. Billboard reports that the tour closes on July 20 at the Moon & Stars Festival in Locarno, Switzerland. Many of the stops are outdoor festivals or historic venues, including Powderham Castle Grounds in Exeter on June 27, Cardiff Castle in Cardiff on June 29 and Blenheim Palace Grounds in Oxfordshire on July 1.
Other confirmed stops include Scarborough Open Air Theatre in Scarborough, England, Jazz Open Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany, Lucca Summer Festival in Lucca, Italy, and Francofolies De Spa in Spa, Belgium, on July 14.
Sugababes will join her as special guests for the Exeter performance on June 27, according to Entertainment Focus, which reported the announcement on the same day.
Tickets go on general onsale, the first public sale open to anyone, at 9 a.m. on Friday, 13 November. The dates were shared through the artist's own channels, and Carey's official website invites fans to join her on the Firefly tour next summer. The site also refers to a Lead The Way singing challenge in connection with the tour.
Ticket prices for the shows have not been published. Fans planning to travel should check each venue's sale page on the day, as outdoor and festival dates often list prices and on-the-door arrangements separately.
For a tour of this size, the planning runs well beyond the stage. Each date needs a local promoter, a venue contract, and crews for sound, lighting and staging, many of whom travel from city to city across the run. A nine-date tour spread over most of a month means a fixed group of people moving across several countries, and that is the part fans rarely see.
The tour is set for the summer of 2027, more than seven months after the first sales open. For anyone hoping to see a show, the Friday sale is the moment to check the venue, the date and the price before the seats go.
