Mr Worldwide comes Down Under: Pitbull, Mariah Carey confirm Australian tour
A massive line-up of R&B artists is coming to Australia as Mariah Carey, Pitbull and Eve join the blockbuster Fridayz Live tour. The R&B royalty will be joined by Wiz Khalifa, Lil Jon, Tinie Tempah and Jordin Sparks in the four-city tour of Australia in October. Fridayz Live said there would be "no sideshows and no second chances" for those who missed out on tickets. The festival is returning after a year off in 2024, when organisers "hit the pause button" as they were unable to secure a strong lineup. In 2025, the festival organisers said Fridayz Live has entered "a new era" and promised fans their "most blockbuster line-up to date". The tour starts on October 17, 2025, at Brisbane Showgrounds in Brisbane. The line-up heads to Sydney's ENGIE Stadium on October 18, before Perth's Langley Park on October 24, and Melbourne's Marvel Stadium on October 25. Ticket presale starts as early as May 26, with general tickets on sale from June 2.
