Fans of Mariah Carey's holiday cheer have reason to look forward to this November, as the iconic songstress is bringing her festive concert series to Austin for what promises to be a dazzling display of yuletide spirit. KXAN reported that Carey will debut her "Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time" at the Moody Center on November 17, with the tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of her beloved "Merry Christmas" album and its ubiquitous hit, "All I Want for Christmas is You".
The tour will grace a total of three Texas cities, including performances in Houston on November 19 and Dallas on November 21. The Lone Star State is no stranger to Carey's vocal prowess, yet November's concert will mark the first time the chanteuse belts out her seasonal classics in the state capital. The singer, who launched her 20-city tour on November 6 in Highland, California, seems determined to keep the merry momentum going, even after an unsuccessful attempt to trademark the phrase "Queen of Christmas" last year, according to CultureMap Austin.
Securing tickets to this holiday extravaganza might require some nimbleness, as presale began on August 8 with a special code and opened up to the general populace the following day. Those interested should act fast to join the festivities, which are set to include a mix of Carey's holiday hits and fan-favorite chart-toppers. Whether you're a long-time fan or a casual listener caught up in the seasonal spirit, this concert promises to be one of the highlights of Austin's entertainment calendar this winter.
Notably, this year's tour represents a third consecutive annual road trip for Carey's Christmas repertoire, an impressive run for any artist dedicated to keeping the holiday spirit alive and well in the hearts of fans across the nation. All of Carey's previous concert stops in Texas cities over the years, like the 2003 visit to Grand Prairie and the 2017 two-step of Dallas and Houston, have fed into this considerable anticipation for her Austin debut. With the Moody Center's doors opening at 6:30 p.m., and the show starting an hour later, attendees are sure to experience a night replete with quintessential Carey holiday magic on November 17.
