The Celebration of Mimi is the fifth concert residency and fifteenth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. The residency shows were held at the Dolby Live in the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada, from April 12, 2024 to February 15, 2025, comprising twenty-four shows. [1] The residency celebrates the nineteenth anniversary of Carey's tenth studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). Originally planned as an eight-date residency, two more legs of shows were announced on April 11 and July 22, respectively, following high demand. [2] [3] The show was later expanded to a concert tour of the same name, with shows in China and Brazil in 2024, and shows in Asia and various festivals in 2025.
The following set list is obtained from the April 12, 2024 concert. [4]
"Book Intro" (contains elements of "Alone in Love," "I Don't Wanna Cry," "Vanishing" and "Love Takes Time")
"Dreamlover" (Def Club Mix) (video interlude)
"Loverboy" / "Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica)" / "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" / "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" / "Sunflowers for Alfred Roy" (dancers interlude)
"So Lonely (One & Only Part II)" / "Secret Love" (contains elements of "Sprung") / "Makin' It Last All Night (What It Do)" (dancers interlude)
Critics compared The Celebration of Mimi favorably to Carey's previous residencies. Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John Katsilometes called it "a more inspired variation of the Caesars show, thoughtful and creative with its autobiographical through-line". [5] According to Tim Chan of Billboard , "while Carey has performed in Vegas before, she has never sounded or looked better." [6] People 's Mark Gray and Jason Sheeler said "her latest spectacular show was a definite crowd pleaser". [7]

The Celebration of Mimi was adapted into a international concert tour in two occasions. The first one was in September 2024, performing two concerts in Beijing, China, as well as a concert in São Paulo, Brazil. [8] Carey further played a second Brazilian concert in Rock in Rio, although with a very different setlist. The setlist largely followed the Las Vegas concerts, although with some alterations, including the addition of post-The Emancipation of Mimi songs in the setlist. The tour received critical acclaim, with Brazilian publications pointing out the São Paulo show as the “biggest in her career” and describing her vocal performance as “potent”. [9] New legs of this international concert tour adaptation are planned to happen throughout 2025 in Asia, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Emancipation of Mimi. [10]
