Could Mariah Carey really do it? I mean for a non-Christmas tour?
Looking at her setlists, she seems to do Christmas themed shows in Nov/Dec, and then completely different shows in the other 10 months (which don't usually have any of the Christmas songs in them).
This is the setlist from her recent Vegas run, and tbh it's not something that I'd expect to fill Hyde Park:

Ticket sales going horrendously. A week on and we're still in initial release prices, nothing sold out, BMTH day hardly moving at all.
These are going to he dirt cheap to pick up come next year. I wonder if they'll do the 2023 desperation tactics of "convince 10 friends to come and we will give you a free ticket for next year".
I wonder if the poor sales are result of 6 to 3 headliners, 2nd stage headliners being displayed as big stage headliners, a poor undercard...
Or maybe people are just bored of spending all that money to get pissed in a wet and rainy field in middle England, and the rite of passage vibe is now your Ibiza holidays, Croatian festivals, and Instagram-able locations.
