Mariah Carey Announces The Sweet Sweet Fantasy Europian Tour 2016

Mariah Carey bringing nostalgia to Europe on Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour! The R&B superstar has unveiled a host of 2016 dates and the concerts will be partly inspired by her 'Mariah Carey #1's' Las Vegas residency show, which concludes at Caesar's Palace hotel and casino next February and featured all of her chart-topping hits such as 'Hero', 'Always Be My Baby' and 'We Belong Together'.
Mariah will be researching which of her songs were popular in the different countries she is performing in and adjusting her setlist for each different nation she visits.
In an interview on 'Lorraine', she said: "I'm calling it the 'Sweet, Sweet Fantasy' tour, I wanted to give people some nostalgia - so that title is from my song 'Fantasy' obviously.
"The fans can expect lots of songs - I'm going to research what songs were big in what territories and then I'm going to sing those songs especially for those fans."
The singer can't wait to "be close" to her fans in Europe again as she cherishes the special bond she has with the lovers of her music all over the world.
She added: "I'm just trying to put on a really good show that people are going to enjoy and be close to the fans. Not everyone is so close to their fans but I have a very special relationship with my fans. I love all things pertaining to music and creativity ... everything is fun for me but I love being on stage."
The 'Sweet Sweet Fantasy' tour will visit six cities in the UK before heading to mainland Europe for stops in Luxembourg, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, France and the Netherlands.
The dates are Mariah's first on this side of the Atlantic since the European leg of her acclaimed 'Charmbracelet' tour in 2003.
The 'Sweet Sweet Fantasy" tour will also head to South Africa for its' conclusion for a few special performances.
