Celine Dion Announces 10-Concert Residency in Paris

Celine Dion fans are in for a treat as the Canadian diva confirms her return to the stage with a 10-concert residency scheduled at Paris La Defense Arena from September 12 to October 14, 2026. To witness this live reunion with Celine Dion, fans will need to secure tickets through a special pre-sale lottery system. Here is how you can participate.

Celine Dion has officially announced her grand comeback on stage in the French capital, where she will perform 10 concerts this fall at the biggest indoor venue in Europe, Paris La Defense Arena. The shows, scheduled on Wednesdays and Saturdays, will take place from September 12 to October 14, 2026. This was revealed in a video message shared on her social media on March 30, also broadcasted on France 2.

Now that the announcement is official, fans worldwide are feeling the pressure and are anxious about securing tickets. With a high demand expected, only a limited number of lucky fans will be able to attend. A lottery system has been set up for access to the pre-sale.

To try your luck, you can register on Celine Dion’s website until April 2, 7 pm (French time), through Fair AXS. You will need to log in with your AXS account, and if you don’t have one, you will need to create it. A valid credit card and billing address are required to validate the registration. Rest assured, your card won’t be charged. These details are solely used to ensure you are a genuine fan. After the announcement, the registration queue on Monday night was quite long. Being early does not affect your chance of selection.

If chosen, you will receive an email to access the pre-sale, subject to availability. The pre-sale for Celine Dion will start on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at 10 am, with a limit of 6 tickets per order. Tickets for this pre-sale will be sold exclusively through official platforms AXS, Ticketmaster, and Fnac Spectacles. After registration, you will be contacted by one of these partners to confirm your selection for pre-sale.

Another pre-sale is available for Paris La Defense Arena on Thursday, April 9, at 10 am, with the same lottery system in place. Registrations for this pre-sale are open until April 2, 7 pm, French time. Fans not selected will be added to a waiting list with a chance to be contacted if tickets become available. They can also participate in the general sale on Friday, April 10, 2026, at 10 am. Everyone can join the queue for this sale without the need for prior registration.

Celine Dion’s use of a pre-sale lottery system is not unique, as other artists like Taylor Swift and Oasis have also implemented similar methods in the past to offer all fans an equal chance to attend their events.
