Concerts in Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines in Oct & Nov, 2014

[CELINE MARIE]

According to news outlets in recent days in the Chinese press, Celine Dion will go to China in October or November this year to give several concerts in the country.

 

Performances are scheduled in 5 cities, including Shanghai and Dalian, the latter would be in Dalian Sports Centre Stadium, a stadium that can hold up to 80 thousand people.

Yes. This rumor is spreading on Weibo(Chinese Twitter).

Why only in China? How about in the Philippines? If Katy Perry, Lady Gaga , Beyonce, Taylor Swift went here last year and in 2012, how can Celine wouldn't? THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!

[Chin]

Hong Kong please!!! She hasn't come here since 1999

[CelineDionForeverNY]

How ironic. I'm in Hong Kong right now... But I probably will not be able to come back in October/November.

Welcome to Hong Kong! U come here for travel or what?

If this ends up becoming reality, I wonder what the set list will look like.

[Alex_Incognito]

Strangely I'm considering doing an internship in China! This could work out perfectly.

[Jamieb12321]

I'm totally gonna go!! I am not gonna miss this one like I missed paris!

[dj_a_rock]

Why only in China? How about in the Philippines and other part of Asia? This is not right!

Aren't the Philippines close to china? I would think it would be a pretty quick flight?

Obviously 90% English songs. I would like to hear more live renditions from her LMBTL-album, since her voice is perfectly for those songs. The most of her "old" songs doesn't fit her voice anymore like it did 10 years ago. Or she playbacks them...

The songs from "Loved Me Back To Life" I would LOVE to see performed live (again or for the first time) are "Somebody Loves Somebody," "Breakaway," "Save Your Soul," "Thank You," and "Unfinished Songs."

I'm curious how reliable these rumours are

I would imagine if the rumors are true, then tickets should be going on sale fairly soon. Though, I will admit I'm not sure what ticket sale patterns are like in China. Hopefully we see news of tickets going on sale within the next month or two.

Yes, I would love to hear "Somebody loves somebody", "Breakaway", "Thankful" and sure again "Didn't know love". Her rendition on the Christmas special was amazing. But then again, I would love to hear them in good quality and especially live, NOT DUBBED. Sony, please, if she's going to China, please record the concert and promote the cd/dvd. Would love to see a live concert from her again but then in another country!!

Exactly! Can you imagine we will get a live video performance of LMBTL, Break away, WAAF, Somebody Loves Somebody, Didnt Know Love and possible, At 17 and Overjoyed in just one show???!!!!!!They better release a DVD for this!

I'm curious as to why anyone would think this would be anything other than what she normally does in her English appearances outside of Vegas, which is the Vegas set list. Y'all seem to be setting yourselves up for disappointment, yet again.

preferably a bit earlier than that

Actually, what I expect is a set list similar to that of the concert in Jamaica, with of course "Loved Me Back To Life" added in. It would be nice to see "Somebody Loves Somebody" and another new song added, but I'm not holding my breath.

[sfbaysinger]

I would love for this to be true. Especially in light of the fact that she sang at their new year's spring gala not too long ago, I think that momentum could help boost ticket sales even further. I will love whatever she does. My concern is, remember when she went there last time she came back very sick? I'm just worried about her voice. As for a possible set list, they have been stepping up their game in her career lately so I actually think it might be okay. Either way I'll be so excited!

[rhapsodion]

It seems like yesterday that she sang jasmine flower, but indeed it has been a year already. Chinese new year gala coming up again in a few days. Time flies by soooo quickly.

I'm officially moving to Beijing for a year in June. How can we convince Celine to come?

Oh wow what an adventure!!

I'm sure she will pay you a visit!! No smoke without fire and all that!

I'm going to have to move too if she announces dates lol

[Bellamy]

Dalian is a weird choice, not even one of the biggest cities in China, and not very far from Beijing. Unless some rich corporation from Dalian is behind it.

Seriously? We should meet.

[dj_a_rock]

Is there any confirmation for this tour now? The tickets should be on sale soon.

There's not any confirmation for Dalian concert now. I think the tickets will be on sale around June if it's true.

Ok... she doesn't have the time to shoot a Loved Me Back To Life music video, but she can go to Antwerp and Paris, and now she "is going" to China??? I don't understand her, or her team... ¬¬'

Her team understands that touring in Europe and Asia are guaranteed money makers. Whereas, shooting a music video costs money and isn't guaranteed to generate a profit, be it long term or short term. I know it's hard to read, but it's the truth and how part of the music business works. Or should I say, "...today's music business works."?
