Her discography includes beloved classics like “Hero,” “Fantasy,” “Always Be My Baby,” “We Belong Together,” and “One Sweet Day,” celebrated for their powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics.

Concertgoers can expect a vibrant showcase of Mariah's timeless hits alongside tracks from her newest releases, complemented by her captivating stage presence. Attendees will also enjoy impressive stagecraft and lighting, ensuring an unforgettable evening for music enthusiasts in the region.

Following shortly after the release of her 16th studio album, “Here For It All,” on September 26, 2025, Carey’s performance promises to be emblematic of her enduring artistry. Released by Gamma, the album is her first in nearly eight years, combining elements of pop, R&B, disco, and gospel.

Collaborations with prominent artists like Anderson .Paak, Kehlani, Shenseea, and The Clark Sisters further highlight this landmark album, which secured the top position on various Billboard charts, including Top Album Sales and Top R&B Albums, demonstrating Carey’s lasting impact in music over three decades.

A remarkable career defines Mariah, who holds the record for the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles by a solo artist, totaling 19. Her songs are timeless anthems that resonate during holidays, celebrations, and significant personal moments.

Mariah Carey’s concert is poised to attract fans from across the region and beyond, with ticket sales expected to commence shortly. Given her impressive track record for sold-out shows, swift sales are anticipated.

Carey has consistently fostered a strong rapport with her supporters. During her last performance in Abu Dhabi, she applauded the audience's enthusiasm and the picturesque outdoor location. Many anticipate that her 2026 appearance will be even more spectacular, marking over 35 years of her musical journey.

With Saadiyat Nights ascending as a cultural cornerstone of the UAE, Mariah Carey's headlining show is set to be a major highlight of the 2026 entertainment scene.
