Global pop singer Mariah Carey will bring her European tour to Cardiff next summer for one of only four UK dates. She will perform at Cardiff Castle on Tuesday, June 29, as part of her Firefly Summer Festivals Tour. 1990s girl band Eternal will perform as special guests on the night.

Pre-sale tickets are available from Depot Live from 9am on Thursday (November 12) via www.depotlive.co.uk/mariahcarey and all tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday (December 13) via depotlive.co.uk and ticketmaster.co.uk.

Chart success and new album
With more than 200 million albums sold to date and 19 Billboard Hot 100 Number 1 singles (18 self-penned), Mariah has produced more music than any solo artist in history. Earlier this year, she dropped her highly anticipated 16th studio album Here For It All, which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart.
