The
Grammy-winning star said Monday that she will perform 10 shows
at Paris La Défense Arena from Sept. 12 through Oct. 14, marking
a major milestone after years away from touring due to the rare
neurological disorder she disclosed in 2022.
In an emotional video message delivered from beneath the Eiffel
Tower on her 58th birthday, Dion thanked fans for their support
during her health challenges and said she feels “strong” and
“excited” to return to the stage.
“Over the last few years, every day that’s gone by, I’ve felt
your prayers and support,” she said. “This year, I’m getting the
chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris.”
The shows, titled “Celine Dion Paris 2026,” will feature her
catalog of hits in English and French. The production is being
developed with creative director Willo Perron.
Dion has largely stepped back from performing since canceling
her Courage World Tour as her condition progressed. She made a
brief but widely watched return at the opening ceremony of the
2024 Paris Olympics, performing atop the Eiffel Tower.
With nearly 260 million albums sold worldwide, Dion remains one
of the bestselling and most decorated artists in pop music
history, known for hits including “My Heart Will Go On” and
“Because You Loved Me.”
Artist presale registration for the Paris shows runs through
April 2, with ticket access beginning April 7.
The La Defense Arena has a capacity of 40,000 spectators and was
one of the venues used for the Olympics.
