HOT on the heels of headliners Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue, Brighton Pride is lining up another pop diva to take to their stage this summer.

I’ve learned Mariah Carey is set to perform at the event on August 1.

A music insider said: “Brighton Pride has set a precedent in the last few years for getting the biggest names, so securing Mariah is brilliant in proving they are one of the leading Pride events worldwide.”

Kylie treated the sold-out crowd to her greatest hits last year while Britney kicked off 2018’s festival with her Vegas show Piece Of Me.

But don't expect Mariah’s set to be as long as those performed by Britney and Kylie. The insider added: “It seems like she will do about 45 minutes — despite being paid a six-figure fee.”

It will be Mariah’s first UK show outside of London since March 2016, when she brought her Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour to six UK arenas.

Lady Gaga’s name had been rumoured for Brighton Pride, although she is expected to announce larger shows here for later in the year.

Mariah has been on top form for the past couple of years and is a real icon, especially in the LGBT community, so she is bound to put on a great show.

Though hearing All I Want for Christmas being belted out on a scorching day by the seaside might be a bit jarring.
