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.”

Luke Littler hints he could launch side hustle alongside darts career with ‘loads’ of ideas already in the pipeline

LUKE Littler is poised to rival Stephen Bunting in a new way by starting a similar side hustle.

And the Nuke revealed that he already has plenty of ideas in the pipeline to get the quest off the board.

Littler, whose arrows success has seen the sport explode in popularity, is already a hit on social media.

And the 18-year-old has is open to launching his own YouTube channel.

The world champion was asked if he’d ever thought of starting his own channel, like Bunting on the Huw Ware podcast.

Littler said: “Yeah, I think it’s one for the future. Definitely one for the future but at the minute, it’s a case of just chilling out, seeing the year through.

“There’s loads of ideas for YouTube, like ‘Day in the Life of Luke Littler’.

“Or just filming darts. Playing against fans on the Target Darts counter. There is a lot you can do.”

Bunting – who beat Littler on his way to claiming the Bahrain Darts title in January – has more than 65,000 YouTube subscribers.

The 39-year-old appears to have started it fairly recently, with four videos posted in the last month.

He also dug into what a successful year would look like, saying: “Ideally, I want to retain the Premier League.

“The Matchplay didn’t go too well for me last year, so I’d like to win at least a game there and go deep into the tournament.”

The Warrington-ace was then asked how he prepares to play on the world stage, after appearing visibly emotional after the first-round of the world champs.

He revealed: “There’s been a few times where I felt nervous, but I just think to myself, just enjoy it and you won’t get nervous.

“But I’m pretty sure I was born with no nerves. And when you’re playing, you get the first leg, the first two legs,

“And you settle in even if the opponent comes back at you, you know, you’ve got the game to come back.”

Littler hasn’t exactly kicked on from his record-breaking win at Ally Pally on January 3.

He was dumped out early in the Bahrain and Dutch Masters, before losing to Michael van Gerwen in the first round at the first night of Premier League darts in Belfast.

The teenager was also knocked out of the first Players Championship event of the year on Monday – after losing to 6-3 Rob Cross.
