One of the world’s most loved and recognized voices, Mariah Carey, is heading down under, bringing her ‘#1s Tour’ to Australia and New Zealand this February.
Mariah will perform the songs that made her the biggest selling female artist of the millenium, including ‘Hero’, ‘One Sweet Day’, ‘Fantasy’, ‘Always Be My Baby’, ‘Vision of Love’, ‘We Belong Together’ and many more. From her debut in 1988 through to her massive smash hit album, Music Box, her move into movies & TV and her legendary Las Vegas residency, the world has grown up with Mariah Carey who has become the soundtrack of the last three decades.
The tour takes Mariah outdoors to take advantage of the Australian summer, hitting Melbourne Showgrounds, Parramatta Park and Sandstone Point in Brisbane, as well as Perth Arena and Auckland’s Spark Arena. The shows will be Carey’s first shows in Australia and New Zealand in four years with her successful album Me. I Am Mariah and reality docuseries Mariah’s World continuing her reign as the Queen of the American music scene.
