After several days of speculation, Céline Dion took advantage of her 58th birthday on Monday, March 30, 2026, to officially announce her return to the stage. The singer spoke on France 2 to announce the event in person and to give an update on her well-being.
In front of the camera, Céline Dion delivered a speech, which was also shared on her social media. Seated on a sofa, she first spoke about her health. “I wanted to tell you that I am really well. I feel strong, I sing a lot, and I even do some dancing,” she explained.
The singer promptly thanked her fans for their support. “In these past years, there hasn’t been a day when I haven’t felt your love[…] I miss you so much,” she expressed emotionally.
To mark her birthday, she mentioned receiving “the best gift of my entire life.” And she announced: “I will have the opportunity to sing for you, in Paris, starting in September. I am so happy, I feel good, strong, super excited, and I am so grateful to all of you.”
In the caption of her Instagram post, 10 dates have been announced for September. Pre-sales are scheduled for April 7 and will be accessible after registration on the singer’s official website from March 32 to April 2.
The superstar was able to put an end to several days of speculation regarding a possible announcement of her return to the stage. Last week, multiple posters featuring her iconic songs were displayed across Paris. This caught the attention of her die-hard fans.
France Télévisions had hinted on X, Sunday, March 29, 2026, that the event was imminent. A video revealing these posters, along with the date and time of an appointment on France 2, was shared.
These newly announced concerts are a significant event for the singer, who has been rare on stage due to health issues. She had also not performed in Paris since her rendition of the “Hymne à l’amour” on the Eiffel Tower during the Olympic Games in July 2024. Her last concerts in France date back to 2017. Fans are delighted to see this period come to an end.
