From a press release:

It was announced today that chart-topping, multi-platinum pop star Mariah Carey, the bestselling female artist of all time, will bring her Caution World Tour to the Sands Bethlehem Event Center on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at 8 p.m.

Kicking off in February 2019, the multiple Grammy Award winner will start the North American tour in Dallas and visit cities across the U.S. and Canada, including Atlanta, Chicago, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia. She will perform her latest songs like “With You” and “The Distance,” along with selections from her timeless catalog, such as “Fantasy,” “Honey,” and “Hero.”

Carey was supposed to perform at the Bethlehem venue on her All I Want for Christmas Is You Tour last year but canceled a few days before the show due to an upper respiratory infection.

Tickets, which are $97.50, $107.50, and $158, plus applicable fees, go on sale this Friday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at sandseventcenter.com, the Event Center box office (77 Sands Blvd., Bethlehem), ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 800-745-3000. A pre-sale for members of the venue’s Music Insiders Club will take place on Thursday, Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. through 10 p.m.

Mariah Carey is the bestselling female artist of all time, with more than 200 million albums sold to date and 18 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles (17 self-penned), more than any solo artist in history.

The singer, songwriter, and producer has been recognized with multiple Grammy Awards, numerous American Music Awards, Billboard’s Artist of the Decade Award, the World Music Award for World’s Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium, and BMI’s “Icon Award” for her outstanding achievements in songwriting, to name a few. With her distinct five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting, and producing talent, Carey is truly the template of the modern pop performance.

Her ongoing impact has transcended the music industry to leave an indelible imprint upon the world at large. She made her entry into the world of independent film with her landmark performance in “WiseGirls” starring alongside Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters. In 2009, she was recognized with the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Spring International Film Festival for her critically acclaimed role in Lee Daniels’ “Precious.” She went on to appear in Daniels’ stellar ensemble piece “The Butler” (2013).

A Congressional Award recipient, Carey has generously donated her time and energy to a range of philanthropic causes near to her heart, including Save the Music, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, World Hunger Relief, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, among many others. A tremendous supporter of children’s charities, both domestic and international, she founded Camp Mariah in partnership with the Fresh Air Fund, a retreat for inner city children to explore career development.
