[Baltimore Sun] Baltimore is all Mariah Carey wants for Christmas during holiday visit
For the second year in a row, Baltimoreans will be able to listen to one of the defining songs of the holiday season — Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” — from the queen of the season’s own mouth.
Carey is scheduled to visit Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena on Dec. 7 as part of her 20-city “Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time” tour. This visit follows not quite a year after her Dec. 15, 2023 concert, which was part of her “Merry Christmas One and All!” tour.
This year’s concerts are being produced by LiveNation, according to a news release. They are described as being the singer’s “grandest holiday spectacle to date” in celebration of the 30th anniversary of her the record-shattering song.
Since the single was released in 1994 as part of Carey’s “Merry Christmas” album, it has become such a ubiquitous staple of holiday music that it is difficult to imagine getting through December without hearing it at least once.
The show will also feature other holiday classics by Carey, alongside fan-favorite chart-toppers, according to the news release.
Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time, according to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and has written or co-written 18 of her 19 number one songs on the Billboard Hot 100.
Tickets cost between $51 and $862 including fees, and can be bought at ticketmaster.com.
