Brighton Pride is one of the largest LGBTQ festivals in the world and this year Mariah Carey is hotly tipped to be the headliner at the illustrious event, but for a heavy price.

The We Belong Together singer, 49, is expected to grace the stage this summer, following in the footsteps of pop sensations Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue who previously entertained audiences. A music insider revealed that organisers are willing to pay a six-figure number in order to secure Mariah's attendance at the popular festival. Despite being paid the large amount the hit-maker is set to perform a 45 minute set only. The festival 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.

The All I Want For Christmas Is You singer holds three Guinness World Records for the song, including highest-charting holiday song on the US Hot 100 chart by a solo artist, most-streamed track on Spotify in 24 hours by a female and most weeks in the UK singles top ten chart for a Christmas song.

Mariah has made an iconic comeback in the past number of years, and is considered a pillar of the music, especially in the LGBT community, so there's no doubt she'll put on one hell of a show.
