Number of concerts

[Frenchie]

If this is true, when does everyone think we will hear/read the official announcement and tickets go on sell? 

[Davey84]

That would be soooo amazing!! Fingers crossed this would be true!!!  🤞  🤞  🤞

 

The Defense Arena video is from 5 years ago tho...

That video is 5 years old so that doesn't say a thing.

I think those 'dates' are the same rumors since the Olympics. It would be great though, but damn imagine getting tickets for these shows.

The video is from the official website. Is just a promo video. Of course the dates are not uptodate.

El vídeo de la Arena de Defensa es de hace 5 años, eso sí...

Now the leak I saw makes more sense…

Yes but the video (with Céline in it) was uploaded to Youtube 5 years ago...

It’s so exhausting being a fan of hers.

What leak did you see?

[No1IrishFan]

Anyone know how reliable this source is?

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/chroniques/2026-03-22/celine-dion-de-retour-sur-scene-a-paris.php

New article saying 2 shows per week in Paris in Sept and Oct? Could be nonsense but also could be a legit source? I’ve no idea 

[celine28]

A new article from La Presse Canada that suggests a possible return of Celine at Paris La Défense Arena in September & October with 2 shows a week :

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/chroniques/2026-03-22/celine-dion-de-retour-sur-scene-a-paris.php?sharing=true

To sum up :

- Denis Savage is no longer her manager since june 2024

- Joyce Smyth (the Rolling Stones) and John Nelson (AEG group) are the new managers

- Annie Horth would eventually be her stylist again

- Celine's illness is controlled, but 2 shows a week to have enough rest between performances

- Paris La Défense Arena has nothing scheduled for September/ October

- The announcement and tickets sales will be very soon

Take these "rumors" with precaution, as long as Celine herself or her management don't confirm anything and didn't answer to the journalist's solicitations for the article.

La Presse has an excellent reputation.

It's the same story that's been circulating since the Olympics. Only most of the times it was discussed in which seem to me gossip programs on tv and in the gossip magazines. But La Presse is far from that isn't it?

The biggest surprise of all this would be Annie Horth returning… I thought Law was back with her when needed? 

[Alex_Incognito]

I'm glad Annie is back.  And I'm glad I'm moving to Paris this summer!

Yes La Presse is highly regarded as highly newsworthy and has a very good reputation. Interesting that the Paris rumours continue to rumble on...

I think Annie is by far the best stylist for the stage,  but her return would be a surprise for me. 
 

Paris in the summertime! 🥐 sounds amazing! However if October/November is true I’d assume ticket sales would be sound May/June right?

[KyleVan41]

La Presse is pretty accurate ; this is exciting.  But wouldn’t a Quebec show come first ?

[ordinary fan]

Interesting that there could be French shows first before Vegas

The return to the stage is exciting if it happens but I’d assume there would be new music to released to support these rumored shows. I’m excited about that. 🙏🏽

Yes, as rumors say that she also records new music

I have to say, I am surprised that Vegas doesn’t get the “rumored” return shows… I’d assume she wanted to reward Resorts World Las Vegas for being very patient with her. 

[AXG_16]

I'm French, and I have to say I'm just as surprised that her comeback show isn't in Las Vegas. But I'm totally fine with that lol!

If you check the Paris La Défense Arena website, you'll see there aren't any shows scheduled for September and October, so it's definitely possible!

France really gave Céline a warm welcome for the Olympics—it was a huge event! All the TV networks were outside her hotel, and even the First Lady came to visit her (I can’t find the photo).

Nah, forget about Vegas. That whole theatre isn't the place to comeback now. I hope all this excitement isn't for nothing now.

[Dancing_Queen]

Would love for this to be true, but I won't hold my breath. La Presse may be reliable, but they don't report it as fact, it's still speculation.

I feel as if maybe Vegas is no longer the plan… because I’d assume otherwise she’d be loyal to the theatre that she was intended to open. 
 Celine Maybe will return and stick to rare appearances like Paris, Canada, and parts of Europe and with big stops in cities like LA and NYC… when possible.

l'm glad Resort World isn't the plan anymore. I never liked it ..

Well we don't know, maybe Vegas will happen later than the French shows. No one can tell what is really planned and what's not

I think resorts world is still happening. 
but the french shows are going to be separate and in Europe.

i bet she returns to Vegas in November.
