Celine (Las Vegas show) [ends: June 8th, 2019] - Official topic

[CSCfan]

"The deal we struck was Caesars was that as long as Celine was there, we managed and operated the building," Meglen explains. "Now that Celine is leaving,Caesar's wants to do it themselves. But you have to remember -- when we started, none of them (Caesars) would partner with us. The basically told us we could rent the building."

 

Does this mean that Caesar's was not making any money from Celine's show? That's insane! Bad business deal, if they were literally just playing landlord to AEG. No wonder they've faced bankruptcy. They make dumb decisions.

 

They did, but not much. They didn't want to take all the risk. They probably got more out of Céline's 2nd residency.

 

 

Where is that 2019 tour topic?

Thanks for that! Very interesting indeed....and it looks like we'll definately be getting that rumoured world tour in 2020!

And there goes all my money within the next 2 years (End of Vegas + World Tour)

That means no money for a DVD/Blu-Ray!

The 2019 tour topic was turned into the festival topic

[Peppercorn1991]

Yes! Really does seem she is done with Vegas! It’s been done to death now.... she has done the hard work and it paid off and landed her at the top!

 

Now time for projects she wants to pursue... I think we have already seen her starting to do just that

 

Exciting times!

I wonder if there is any chance this upcoming world tour could be a Farewell Tour...

Nah.

 

After the CÉLINUNUNU World Tour in 2020, we'll get the CÉLINANANA Tour in 2025 and the CÉLINENENE tour in 2028.

Then she'll return to Vegas in 2030 with CÉLINONONO.

Only Cher does that, over and over again.

So, since this will end in june,, I wonder if they will release those tickets for the FORCH sections,thats what I'm waiting on, released those tickets

[Peppercorn1991]

Really interesting that the guys who have organised all these concerts are leaving with Celine..... maybe Vegas is just Vegas without her...

 

I feel like I read a new artist signs to a residency everyday recently when in fact they are doing a few shows and nothing that can be compared with Celine

And Barbra Streisand. And Garth Brooks. LOL

Well, to be honest it's a little unclear.

So, John Nelson "will focus on Dion's global touring business" but also "on special projects including new possible residencies in Las Vegas"...just for Celine? Or for others, too?

 

And it doesn't really say what John Meglen is now up to.

I always enjoy listening to these guys talk about celine and rene ,

[Kristinaz]

Lol no money for me to buy a Blu Ray/DVD or no money for Celine’s team to make two? lol well tbh I wouldn’t be at all mad now if we don’t get a DVD of the Vegas show as long as we get one from the “rumoured” world tour (ok the tour is pretty much confirmed but you know till it’s 100% official)

 

 

 

Nah.

 

After the CÉLINUNUNU World Tour in 2020, we'll get the CÉLINANANA Tour in 2025 and the CÉLINENENE tour in 2028.

So I wonder if this means that John Nelson (and Meglen?) are now effectively Team Celine (on loan from AEG)?

Taking over from Denis Savage so he can do his actual sound job?

And Dave Platel overseeing them, plus the recording side of the operation (with John Doelp at Sony?)

[Katie]

Any news regarding Billboard BoxScore?

Whatever they are I hope they create a monster of a tour and keep riding this wave of love for her

I want smth like TCWT again. Dancers, concept, interlude videos... she doesn't have to do 10 Paris shows uf it's tiring, just do one Stade de France...and please, visit megalopolises like Moscow, San Paulo, Buenos Aires, Barcelona - where Celine has never been before... it's so easy to fill in a whole stadium there...

Dancers maybe... but i doubt she will ever do a huge in the round 100+ date tour ever again. It exhausted her

Yes, I totally agree with you on that. I think she will do an elongated version of her summer tours, likely going only to major cities with good breaks in between.

 

Now cue everyone freaking out when the show is just the Asian tour with a few new songs. ::

[stevo]

Please Lord, let them have all new visuals- we’ll have mostly the same songs...but please let it look different!

The dates of the concert will probably mirror the live 2017 tour, add the 2018 live tour and then add north american dates.

I really cant envision this “world tour” being more than 75 dates, sorry.

Id say its gonna be the north american leg of around 25 shows, big cities only, with maybe 2 in LA,NY,Montreal and Boston....

 

Then the exact same dates as the 2017 tour

 

Then the exact same dates as the 2018 tour...

 

It will probably last 9 months all in all with 2-3 week breaks between each leg

 

 

About setlists, I do think the north american leg will be more or less the Asian setlist, but instead of The string medley and think twice, we will get 3 new songs in their place. Imo it will be the same with the Asian/Oceanic leg

 

 

Now europe is where it will be interesting. Shes always been far more adventurous there then in any other territory.

Imo the french set list will be the exact same as Live 2017 but with 2-3 new english songs

 

 

The English set list will mirror The early shows in London 2017... with The Reason,TCOML,TC,LMBTL etc etc. But it will probably have like 1 or 2 new uptempo songs and instead of TSMGO she will have a new ballad

I could deal with it being somewhat close to the Asian tour so long as there are at least one or two forgotten gems or never-performed songs of HERS added alongside some of the new material. Preferably not in medley form, too. That means goodbye Prince! LOL

She doesn't have to do it in the round. No need for 100+ dates either. Look at Madonna - she does 50-60 concerts per each tour (and grosses more than Celine, compare Sticky & Sweet Tour with TCWT).

I believe TCWT was organized quite badly actually, having around 10 concerts in Paris and stopping in every single village in the US.

It was probably due to being stuck in Vegas and compensating

You have to keep in mind that Madonna's shows are far more suited for stadiums then Célines. Céline gives a concert (aka focus on the singing), Madonna gives a show (aka focus on the entertainment).

 

She didn't give 10 concerts in Paris, she gave 6... and almost all of her US dates sold out, so that was a smart move. I do think they made mistakes with the tour, her concerts especially in South Africa, Dubai and Seoul were visited poorly... maybe the prices were to high for the avarage citizen. They also made a big mistake IMO by organizing 6 concerts in Germany alone. 2 in Berlin and 1 in Muchen would have been enough. She would then have had the time to got to (yes Jav) Spain and Portugal.

 

In the end her attendance figures weren't bad: 2,193,483 / 2,325,831 (94%). You got to keep in mind that Céline really was out of the picture back then, due to Vegas. And I think Kev is right... they were (over) compensating for not touring in 9 years. When she was in Europe in 2017, she was waaaay more in demand, which resulted in 100% attendance: 457,923 / 457,923 (100%)
