American singer Mariah Carey will perform in Abu Dhabi on Dec. 12 as part of the emirate's seasonal entertainment programming, organisers announced.
The show, titled “Mariah Carey’s Christmastime,” is scheduled to take place at the Etihad Arena on Yas Island.
The five-time Grammy Award winner has become closely linked with the festive season following the release of her 1994 single “All I Want for Christmas Is You” from the album “Merry Christmas,” a track that regularly reappears on global music charts every year.
Carey, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022, has built a music career spanning more than three decades with popular releases such as “Hero,” “Fantasy” and “We Belong Together.”
The December appearance will mark Carey’s third concert in the UAE capital, where she previously took the stage in January 2024 and February 2026.
Theory Eleven Entertainment is presenting the concert in partnership with Miral and the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi.
