King Charles’s royal estate to host Mariah Carey in ‘historic show’
Global superstar Mariah Carey will perform at King Charles’ Sandringham Estate this summer in a historic outdoor concert.
The pop icon is set to take the stage at the royal Norfolk retreat on August 15, marking a rare appearance at the monarch’s beloved countryside home.
The announcement comes as part of Heritage Live Festivals’ summer concert series at the prestigious venue.
This exclusive UK headline show will bring one of music’s most celebrated voices to the grounds where the Royal Family traditionally celebrates Christmas.
The concert represents a significant moment for the estate, which has increasingly opened its grounds for major cultural events following the success of sell-out performances in 2023.
Nile Rodgers & CHIC and 90s R&B group Eternal will join Carey as special guests for the outdoor performance.
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.”
Cooper emphasised the significance of the event, stating: “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.”
The announcement comes as Carey, 55, has been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Sandringham concert series will also feature Welsh rockers Stereophonics on August 16 and Michael Bublé on August 17.
Carey has established herself as one of music’s most successful artists, with 19 US number one singles – more than any other solo artist in Billboard Hot 100 history.

The singer rose to prominence in 1990 with her self-titled debut album, becoming the only artist to have their first five singles reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100.
In 2023, Rolling Stone recognised Carey as the fifth-greatest singer of all time.
Tickets for the Sandringham performance will go on general sale from March 7.
The event follows Carey’s other scheduled UK appearance this summer, where she will headline the Brighton Pride Festival on August 2.
