She follows in the footsteps of Girls Aloud and Mika who headlined in 2024.
It is set to be Mariah’s first none Christmas show in the UK since 2019.
It’s been twenty years since Mariah’s record breaking The Emancipation of Mimi which includes mega hits We Belong Together and It’s Like That.
A source said: “Talks have been ongoing for a while and finally everything has fallen into place.
“Mariah was initially set to headline the festival in 2020 and then Covid happened.
“It’s part of a series of shows celebrating The Emancipation of Mimi album which had some of her biggest hits on it.
“No doubt it will be a military operation when Mariah arrives in Brighton but the festival can do it before – they pulled off Britney headlining back in 2018.”
It’s set to be a huge year for Mariah, who wraps up her Las Vegas residency – The Celebration of Mimi – on February 15.
She has also as good as wrapped up work on her 16th studio album – her first since 2018’s Caution.
Speaking last January, Mariah said: “I have a lot I want to do. I’m busy.
“I’m writing new material, so there is new music and a new album coming some time in the future.
“I’m not sure when. I’m just enjoying the songwriting process.”
She added to Variety in May: “I’m excited about it. I have to figure out which songs I’m going to do and which songs I’m not going to do. But I think I’m very excited about it.”
