After having sold out in a flash in April tickets for sixteen concerts at the Paris La Défense Arena, the Quebec singer announces offering ten new dates in this same venue.
Not 10, not 16, but indeed 26 dates. While her return to the stage had aroused massive enthusiasm – to put it mildly -, selling out more than 480,000 tickets in no time, Quebec singer Céline Dion announced this Monday that she would add 10 new dates at the Paris La Défense Arena in 2027.
The dates are as follows:
- Saturday May 8
- Wednesday May 12
- Friday May 14
- Saturday May 15
- Wednesday May 19
- Friday May 21
- Saturday May 22
- Wednesday May 26
- Friday May 28
- Saturday May 29
Several sales are planned. The artist sale will be launched on Wednesday June 3 at 10 a.m., while the room sale will begin on Thursday June 4 at 10 a.m. Sales will end on Friday June 5 at 11:59 p.m. “Tickets + hotels” packages will also be available.
Strong enthusiasm
For the record, after several days of rumors, Céline Dion confirmed her return to the stage on March 30 with a residency of 10 concerts at Paris La Défense Arena, scheduled for September 12, 16, 19, 23, 26 and 30 and September 3, 7, 10, and October 14, 2026.
An announcement which immediately aroused great enthusiasm, several hundred thousand fans having registered for the presale within a few hours, causing a very strong demand for tickets.
This is why the Quebec star had already added six new dates, Friday September 18 and 25 as well as Friday October 2, 9 and 16 and Saturday October 17 at Paris La Défense Arena.
“I’m doing very well”
It was in a video message relayed at the end of March that the singer announced her comeback. “I wanted to tell you that I am doing very well, I am singing again, I am dancing a little,” she initially reassured.
“I have to tell you something very important: during these last years, every day, I felt your prayers, your support, your kindness and your love even in the most difficult times,” she continued, recounting in passing how much the public “missed (him)”.
“I have the opportunity to see you again in Paris in September this year. I am so happy and ready to do it. I can’t wait,” she said.
Posters had also flourished in the capital, bearing the titles of Céline Dion songs. And the singer herself had published photos of herself in Paris on Instagram, at different times in her life, with the caption this barely cryptic sentence: “I don’t know how to tell you…
Two years after the Olympics
If Céline Dion reappeared, after four years away from the public, during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, nothing suggested that she would be in enough shape to return to the stage and perform several concert dates.
The 58-year-old singer has been fighting for years against stiff person syndrome, an incurable neurological disease that causes muscle spasms.
She revealed her illness in December 2022, after having canceled the last dates of her tour in January Courage World Tour. But the effects of the syndrome from which she suffered began to be felt in 2008, during another tour, theTaking Chances World Tour.
Céline Dion had chosen to show her daily life and her illness, hiding nothing from the public, not even her most severe crises, in a documentary broadcast on Prime video in 2024 and entitled I am: Céline Dion.
“I had no choice but to leave the stage because my vocal cords have always led the way. I had no choice, the disease took control of my vocal cords and my entire body,” she said then.
