One of the greatest voices in music history to headline the festival’s 30th anniversary edition.
Lucca Summer Festival announces an extraordinary event for its 30th anniversary edition: Mariah Carey will perform on Sunday, 11 July 2027, on the stage at the historic city walls (Mura Storiche) in Lucca, for her only Italian date.
It will be the artist’s first appearance at the festival, bringing one of the most celebrated and influential figures in music history to Lucca. A voice that has spanned generations and redefined the boundaries of pop and R&B, Mariah Carey will make her long-awaited festival debut in what promises to be one of the standout events of summer 2027. It will be a unique opportunity to experience a global icon live on stage, the singer-songwriter behind songs that have become part of the lives of millions of people around the world.
From “Hero” to “Without You”, from “Fantasy” to “Always Be My Baby”, and from “My All” to “We Belong Together”, her repertoire spans more than 35 years of music and chart-topping hits.
With over 200 million albums sold worldwide and 19 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 — 18 of which she co-wrote — Mariah Carey holds the record for the most No. 1 hits on the US chart by a solo artist. This extraordinary achievement reflects not only the power of her instantly recognisable voice, renowned for its remarkable range and versatility, but also her talent as a songwriter and producer, whose influence has left a lasting mark on contemporary music.
Throughout her career, she has won five Grammy Awards, ten American Music Awards and numerous other honours, including Billboard’s “Artist of the Decade” and “Icon Award”. Her induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame recognised her outstanding contribution to songwriting, while in 2026 she was named MusiCares Person of the Year.
Her artistic journey continues with Here For It All, her sixteenth studio album and first in seven years. The album debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 on both the Top Album Sales and Top R&B Albums charts. Rooted in her soul and R&B influences, the record combines her extraordinary vocal power with deeply personal and intimate songwriting.
On 11 July, Mariah Carey’s story will meet that of Lucca Summer Festival for the very first time, in a concert set to become one of the defining moments of the festival’s 30th anniversary edition: a legendary voice, a unique setting and her only Italian date.
