Singing power Mariah Carey has made her long-awaited UK tour stop midway through the performance by inviting some unlikely guests.
Mariah Carey has taken centre stage at Brighton Pride this weekend, headlining the Pride on the Park event at Preston Park on Saturday, August 2, in a performance fans have been waiting for since her originally planned appearance in 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic.
The 56-year-old international superstar, known for hits like Fantasy, Hero, and We Belong Together, hasn’t performed in the UK since 2019’s Royal Albert Hall shows.
Her Brighton show marked her first UK performance in six years and one of only a handful of international dates confirmed for 2025. It comes after the US singer insisted that ageing ‘just doesn’t happen’ to her in candid admission.

As Mariah abruptly stopped her performance and asked some improbable people on stage, the audience members were shocked as they sang along in their thousands.
Before continuing with her performance, the American singer said she needed a “touch up.” She then requested that her hair and makeup team, who were on stage, come out to the stage to top off her bouncy curls and makeup.
Speaking to The Mirror, a Mariah fan at Pride said: “What Mariah wants, Mariah must get. She called her makeup and hair team to the stage to touch up her hair and makeup. As she should, the queen that she is.
She was truly incredible, and it just proves that, despite being one of the biggest stars on earth, she is unconcerned about her desire to look her best, just like everyone else.
Carey teased herself in a playful TikTok video that showed her boarding a private jet in Paris while sporting a chic black Prada dress and Louboutin boots prior to the event.
Nothing beats attending Brighton Pride, she said in the clip’s title. “,” causing a flurry of online rage for her fans.
Carey’s performance was hailed as a significant festival moment by the organizers. For the city’s LGBTQ+ celebration, the managing director of Brighton Pride described her as a “global icon” whose appearance would be “truly significant.”
The album Here for It All, which is scheduled for release in September, features tracks from her upcoming album and timeless classics on the setlist. Along with her new single Sugar Sweet, her fans have enjoyed her other albums, including Fantasy, Emotions, We Belong Together, and Always Be My Baby.
Fans have expressed their excitement both online and in person. After being a fan for 18 years, I made my purchase of tickets months ago; it’s my first time seeing her live.
Another emphasized that seeing our legendary artists perform while they are still alive is crucial. She was incredible.
More than 300,000 people were expected to attend this year’s Pride event, which was expected to surpass last year’s record turnout.
With Kathy Sledge as her supporting act, Carey makes her Saturday night appearance. Following the band’s incredible reunion, the Sugababes will take over the main stage on Sunday.
And Carey’s performance went beyond just a headliner. A celebration of her long-awaited return to the UK, a celebration of her enduring musical career, and a major highlight for Brighton Pride.
Tonight serves as a powerful reminder of why she continues to be one of the most well-known vocalists and performers in pop history.
