Mariah Carey Postpones Australian Tour

Lambs in the Land Down Under will have to wait a bit longer than expected to see Mariah Carey live.

The singer’s jaunt to Australia and New Zealand was supposed to kick off in February 2018, but has been pushed back to October due to scheduling conflicts.

“It’s always unfortunate when these situations occur and we regret any inconvenience the rescheduling has caused for fans,” tour promoter MJR Presents director Scott Mesiti told Billboard Tuesday. “We’re very excited that we’ve been able to find suitable time for Mariah’s return to ensure fans don’t miss out on what is sure to be a spectacular show from one of the music world’s biggest music icons.”

Carey, 47, also addressed the move on her Facebook page.

“An update for my lambs in Australia and New Zealand! I have exciting news for you. We are now planning a much bigger tour in 2018! Because of this we are moving the Australia/NZ dates a few months to October,” she wrote. “I’ll be kicking off my tour with you then and look forward to seeing you all! Until then, sending love and best wishes for a wonderful new year!”

Mimi’s current itinerary for the tour is Oct. 7 at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand, followed by a show at the Rod Laber Arena in Melbourne, Australia, on Oct. 10, the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Oct. 12 and the Sandstone Point in Brisbane, Australia, on Oct. 14.
