The Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour was the ninth concert tour by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey.

Background

The tours begins at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, on March 15, 2016, and currently concludes at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, United States, on July 2, 2016. The tour will see Carey play six venues across Great Britain and various others across Europe as well as several dates in Africa. The Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour is Carey's first tour to visit the European region in 13 years, the last being the Charmbracelet World Tour in 2003.[1]

The tour's setlist has been noted by fans for having songs never or rarely performed by Carey before, such as "Loverboy", "I Know What You Want", "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)" and "When You Believe". "I Know What You Want", "Obsessed", "It's Like That", "Shake It Off" and "Loverboy" are one continuous medley.
