Giles Cooper, managing director for Heritage Live Festivals, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to bring one of the greatest pop artists of all-time to the Royal Sandringham Estate for an exclusive UK headline show.
“Mariah Carey is an award-winner, a record-breaker, and an absolute global icon – this show will be historic.
“Mariah’s live show is second to none and with such a catalogue of huge hit singles, it’s going to be an incredible occasion.
“It will most definitely be an ‘I was there’ event that will live in all of our memories forever.”
Gates for the events will open at 2pm, so audiences can spend a full afternoon and evening savouring the food and drink on offer from a variety of bars and food traders.
Glamping has also been introduced for this year’s events as well as VIP packages which include guided tours of Sandringham House, and the opportunity to enjoy a food hamper in the gardens.
Mariah will be signing some of her 19 number one songs - more than any other solo artist in Billboard Hot 100 history.
In her time she has also released the diamond-certified albums Music Box and Daydream and eclipsed Michael Jackson’s record for most chart-topping singles by an individual.
The five-time Grammy award winner now stands as one of the most commercially successful artists of all time with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide and hit songs such as Vision of Love, Fantasy, Hero, One Sweet Day with Boyz II Men, We Belong Together, and the seasonal, record-breaking classic All I Want For Christmas Is You.
Nile Rodgers, who will be joining her, is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement awardee, Apple Music Artist-in-Residence and Songwriters Hall of Fame Chairman.
He pioneered a musical language with Chic on hits like Le Freak and sparked the advent of hip-hop with Good Times and Rapper’s Delight.
His work in The Chic Organisation includes Sister Sledge (We Are Family), Diana Ross (I’m Coming Out) and, on his own, David Bowie (Let’s Dance) and Madonna (Like A Virgin).
Selling more than 500 million albums, he has Grammy award-winning collaborations with Daft Punk (Random Access Memories) and Beyoncé (Renaissance).
British R&B group Eternal are also taking to the stage with an all-new Eternal line-up consisting of Easther Bennett, Vernie Bennett and Christel Lakhdar.
The band’s debut album Always & Forever peaked at number two on the UK Album Chart and went four-times platinum in the UK.
In 1997, they reached number one on the UK Singles Chart with I Wanna Be the Only One, which won them the 1997 MOBO Award for Best Single.
They also received seven Brit Award nominations, and in total have achieved 15 UK Top 20 hits between 1993 and 1999.
