Fans of Mariah Carey in Indonesia are gearing up for a monumental event as the iconic diva prepares to return to the country for a highly anticipated concert titled "The Celebration of Mimi." Scheduled for Saturday, October 4, 2025, at the Sentul International Convention Center (SICC) in Bogor, West Java, this concert marks Mariah Carey's first performance in Indonesia since her last show at the Borobudur Temple in 2018.
The announcement has sparked a wave of excitement among her loyal fanbase, affectionately known as The Lambily, as they await the chance to witness the legendary singer perform live once again. This event promises not just a musical performance but a heartfelt celebration of Mariah Carey's illustrious career, featuring a blend of her timeless hits alongside her latest single, "Type Dangerous," which was released on June 6, 2025.
Promoter Color Asia Live officially unveiled the concert details and ticket information on June 16, 2025, via their Instagram account, setting the stage for what is expected to be a sold-out show. Tickets will go on sale starting Thursday, June 19, 2025, at precisely 11:59 AM WIB and will be available exclusively through two official platforms: Tiket.com and mariahcareyindonesia.com. This measure aims to prevent scalping and ensure fans can purchase tickets safely and securely.
With a venue capacity of approximately 12,000, the promoter has decided to release only about 8,000 tickets to the public, all of which will feature numbered seating. This system guarantees comfort and order during the concert, eliminating the chaos often seen in general admission settings. David Ananda, Managing Director of Color Asia Live, emphasized the limited availability, urging fans to prepare for the "war tiket" or ticket rush.
The ticket pricing structure is tiered to accommodate a range of preferences and budgets, though all prices exclude a 20 percent tax and administrative fees. The categories and base prices are as follows: Super VVIP at Rp7,000,000, Sapphire VIP at Rp6,000,000, Diamond VIP at Rp4,500,000, Platinum at Rp4,000,000, Gold at Rp2,950,000, Silver at Rp2,100,000, and Bronze at Rp1,250,000. Notably, the Bronze category offers a more economical option but comes with a limited view of the stage.
Exclusive perks accompany the highest ticket tiers. Super VVIP and Sapphire VIP ticket holders will receive a special package including a lanyard, PVC card, as well as snacks and drinks during the concert. Additionally, these premium ticket holders are allocated the best seating locations near the stage, enhancing their concert experience. Ticket holders in all categories can expect assigned seats to ensure a smooth and enjoyable event.
Accessibility has been thoughtfully considered, with wheelchair-friendly tickets available in selected classes, reflecting the promoter's commitment to inclusivity.
Mariah Carey's return to Indonesia is more than just a concert; it's a testament to her enduring influence and remarkable achievements in the music industry. Over her career, she has sold more than 220 million records worldwide, ranking her among the best-selling music artists of all time. Her accolades include five Grammy Awards, a Grammy Global Impact Award, ten American Music Awards, nineteen World Music Awards, and fourteen Billboard Music Awards. She is also an inductee of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Rolling Stone magazine recognized her as the fifth greatest singer of all time in 2023, a testament to her vocal prowess and lasting impact. Mariah Carey first rose to fame in 1990 with her self-titled debut album and made history as the first artist to have her first five singles top the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her record of nineteen number-one hits as a solo artist remains unmatched, underscoring her legendary status.
The upcoming concert will feature a setlist packed with classics such as "Hero," "My All," "Always Be My Baby," and "We Belong Together," alongside the fresh energy of her new single "Type Dangerous." Fans can expect an emotional and nostalgic experience, as Mariah Carey shares stories behind her songs, creating a unique connection between the artist and her audience.
As the countdown to October begins, anticipation continues to build. With limited tickets and high demand, fans are advised to act quickly once sales open. This event is set to be a memorable chapter in Mariah Carey's career and a cherished moment for her Indonesian fans.
