This follows the cancellation of her planned 2018 Australian tour due to a ‘scheduling conflict’.
Adding to the excitement, there are rumours Carey may headline the popular Fridayz Live festival alongside Pitbull.
The rapper has experienced a resurgence in popularity in 2025, with viral videos showing thousands of fans wearing bald caps at his recent sold-out European and US concerts.
While official dates and venues are yet to be confirmed, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for announcements.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly once released, given Carey’s enduring popularity and the anticipation surrounding her return to Australian stages.
Meanwhile, the iconic pop star recently revealed what’s bugged her most throughout her decades-long singing career.
Speaking with People, she admitted that upon its release she felt ‘annoyed’ that it was referred to as a ‘comeback album.’
‘At the time, it annoyed me when they called it a comeback album,’ she told the publication. ‘But now I’m just like, “Oh yeah, my comeback album.”‘

The project — which featured collaborations with Snoop Dogg and Jermaine Dupri — was released just three years after 2002’s Charmbracelet, which received mixed reviews and debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart.
Despite the success of The Emancipation of Mimi’s predecessor, she said the ‘comeback’ description is ‘somewhat accurate.’
Carey expressed her frustration as she asked rhetorically, ‘It’s like, how many comebacks do I have to have?’
She noted that if people ‘know the album, then they usually are fans of the album.’
‘But not everybody knows that album,’ the entertainer explained. ‘So people can discover various songs and kind of get to know the feeling of that album.’
Acknowledging the milestone anniversary on social media last week, Mariah wrote to her 14 million Instagram followers: ‘Happy “Mimi” Anniversary!! I’m excited to celebrate this one with you.’
A special edition 20th anniversary iteration of the LP will be released on May 30.
Mariah added in her Instagram caption, ‘While working on #Mimi20, I got to relive all the memories from this pivotal moment in my personal and professional life.

‘This album has some of my biggest hits to date, as well as some personal favourites that are very special to me. Let me know what your favourite Mimi lyric is and stay tuned for more surprises yet to come! Love, MC.’
In a video shared by Spotify days ago, Mariah stated, ‘The Emancipation of Mimi represents an incredible part of my life — obviously the music and the songs and just where it took me as an artist and as a person.’
She named Fly Like A Bird as one of her favourite tracks from the album, calling it ‘the vocal take that I’m most proud of.’
‘It was such a strong message that I was kind of writing to God, to myself, to my fans. It still feels that way to me,’ Mariah said of the soft and uplifting R&B tune.
The album went on to sell 10 million albums worldwide, with six million purchased in the United States.
The star was married to Nick Cannon from 2008-2016 and they share 13-year-old fraternal twins Moroccan and Monroe.
