The best-selling female artist of all time is set to perform near Cambridgeshire this summer.
Mariah Carey has been announced for an outdoor concert at the Royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on Friday August 15.
She’ll be joined by special guests including Nile Rodgers & CHIC and Eternal.
Giles Cooper, of Heritage Live Festivals, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to bring one of the greatest pop artists of all-time to the Royal Sandringham Estate for an exclusive UK headline show.
“Mariah Carey is an award-winner, a record-breaker, and an absolute global icon – this show will be historic.
“Mariah’s live show is second to none and with such a catalogue of huge hit singles, it’s going to be an incredible occasion.
“It will most definitely be an ‘I was there’ event that will live in all of our memories forever.”
She became an immediate sensation with her 1990 self-titled debut album thanks to her five-octave range and popular love ballads.
By the end of the decade, Carey had released the diamond-certified albums Music Box and Daydream and eclipsed Michael Jackson’s record for most chart-topping singles by an individual.
Her 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi, became that year’s best-selling record, and the five-time GRAMMY Award winner now stands as one of the most commercially successful artists of all time with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide.
Her hit songs include ‘Vision of Love’, ‘Fantasy’, ‘Hero’, ‘One Sweet Day’ with Boyz II Men, ‘We Belong Together’, and the seasonal, record-breaking classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’.
In 2020, she released her memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, which became a New York Times Best Seller, and in 2023 she was recognised by Rolling Stone as the fifth greatest singer of all-time.
Mariah Carey is also a multiple Guinness World Record-holder, and in 1998 she was recognised by the organisation for her incredible vocal range, gaining the title ‘Songbird Supreme’.
Nile Rodgers is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement awardee, Apple Music Artist-in-Residence and Songwriters Hall of Fame Chairman.
As a composer, producer, arranger, and guitarist, Rodgers pioneered a musical language with CHIC on hits like ‘Le Freak’ and sparked the advent of hip-hop with ‘Good Times’ and ‘Rapper’s Delight’.
His work in The CHIC Organisation, including Sister Sledge (‘We Are Family’), Diana Ross (‘I’m Coming Out’) and on his own David Bowie (‘Let’s Dance’) and Madonna (‘Like A Virgin’).
Nile’s body of music has sold 500+ million albums, while his GRAMMY Award-winning collaborations with Daft Punk (Random Access Memories) and Beyoncé (Renaissance) reflect the vanguard of contemporary hits.
British R&B Group Eternal originally formed in 1992. The group became an international success, selling around 10 million records worldwide.
The group disbanded in 2000, and now the all-new Eternal line up consists of Easther Bennett, Vernie Bennett and Christel Lakhdar.
Eternal's 1993 debut album Always & Forever peaked at number two on the UK Album Chart and went four-times platinum in the UK. In 1997, they reached number one on the UK Singles Chart with ‘I Wanna Be the Only One’, which won them the 1997 MOBO Award for Best Single.
They also received seven Brit Award nominations. In total they achieved 15 UK Top 20 hits between 1993 and 1999.
