Hello everyone,

I’m so happy – first of all for Céline, because she’ll be doing what she’s most passionate about again, and what really ‘moves’ all of us.

I’m so glad to hear that you’re all happy. Things look different now. She made it very clear that she would sing again, and thanks to her resilience, the support of her loved ones and, of course, her fans. Shed tears of happiness 🥹❤️🫂💞

I’m ready for the surprises that are in store for all of us 🤞

Thank you for supporting her, and see you soon

Greetings everyone,
XXXXX

Dreamy, sometimes I think you are Michel or someone like that 🤗

[scarletpimpernel]

I've been thinking these billboards appearing out of nowhere overnight especially in Célines handwriting has such a Banksy feel about it 😄

[mirage]

Saw some posts that Star Academy also has a new season around september/October. Maybe she will make an appearance there as well! 😍

Oh Dreamy, you’re so sweet! Thank you for always being so kind and for giving us hope throughout this whole time when we were so worried about the rumours regarding Celine’s health. You were a light of hope and I’ll never forget it. I hope to meet you in Paris if you're going .

Please let me know; I'll be going with my husband and my best friend.

I really see those shows as a European residency. I wouldn’t be surprised if she heads to Montréal for a shorter set of concerts after that, before announcing a Vegas residency for next year. 

I don't think she's going to do another Vegas residency, it would be a bad idea imo.

Paris Match just posted a full article with many details.

This is going to be INSANE.

Here's a translation:

Quote

STORY — She is setting out to win back her audience with powerful songs, a voice at its peak, and unwavering determination… Céline Dion has chosen Paris to return to the stage and prove to the world that she remains the greatest singer of her generation.

This time, the die is cast. Since Monday, March 23, mysterious posters have appeared across Paris: “Pour que tu m’aimes encore,” “My Heart Will Go On,” and “Power of Love.” No one is fooled—these are iconic Céline Dion songs. Yet no further information appears on the 250 handwritten billboards.

According to our sources, this teaser campaign is paving the way for the most important announcement of the singer’s career: her return to the stage. After months of negotiations, Céline Dion will indeed settle in Paris starting in September for ten concerts over two months at Paris La Défense Arena. She will officially reveal the exact dates at the end of March through a video on her social media.

Paris is her city of the heart—the first to embrace her beyond her native Quebec—where she first performed at the Olympia in 1984. Céline intends to bring fans from all over the world to the arena in Hauts-de-Seine, where she will finalize a show she has already begun to design. Rehearsals will take place in August, ahead of performances in September and October.

Her return is no small feat. Although she has not fully recovered from stiff person syndrome, she has been undergoing treatment since 2022 to improve her quality of life.

She had dazzled the world during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, singing from the Eiffel Tower. However, last year, she had to cancel her appearance at the Eurovision final in Basel due to a sudden health crisis upon arrival. Heartbroken, she withdrew at the last minute. She knew she needed patience before returning to her craft.

Tickets will go on sale during the first week of April.

She has taken the time she needed—first to record new songs in a Las Vegas studio, including one written by her friend Jean-Jacques Goldman, expected to be released in April. Then to carefully choose the best option for returning to the stage, the very essence of her life and career.

For now, she will not be able to perform on consecutive nights. Concerts will be spaced out—likely one on Wednesday and another on Saturday—with flexibility to reschedule in case of a health episode. The first concert is expected to take place on September 12.

The demand from promoters was global and intense. Four cities were considered: Las Vegas, London, Munich, and Paris.

• Las Vegas offered a return to Allegiant Stadium (42,000 seats), close to her home—but it felt too familiar.
• Munich proposed an open-air arena for 80,000 people, inspired by Adele’s 2024 shows—but weather risks were a concern.
• London suggested ten nights at London Stadium (50,000 seats), but outdoor conditions and competition with Harry Styles posed challenges.

Paris ultimately stood out, with its covered Paris La Défense Arena (40,000 seats), a venue long planned since 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic and her illness.

This is no longer a dream. On March 2 in Las Vegas, Céline took part in a photoshoot for the tour visuals. By the end of the month, cities like New York, Los Angeles, Madrid, Rome, Geneva, Brussels, and Paris will discover the new 2026 Céline.

Tickets will be available exclusively on her website during the first week of April—expect high prices. With ten shows likely to sell out quickly, additional dates may soon be announced.

Those who have already heard her new songs all agree: she is coming back with deeply moving tracks, a voice in top form, and an unbreakable desire to reclaim her status as a beloved global diva.

Céline is back. And it’s the kind of news that comes with a huge smile.

A new French album with one JJG song,I'm in heaven... It's EUS all over again!😇

[AXG_16]

Le journaliste de « La Presse » qui a révélé l'information dimanche a de nouveau annoncé que la déclaration aura lieu lundi 30 mars. Mais je ne comprends pas cette phrase, que j'ai traduite :

« Autre rumeur persistante, non confirmée par son équipe : Céline Dion annoncerait en direct de la Tour Eiffel, le lundi 30 mars – jour de son anniversaire –, la mise en vente des billets pour ses nouveaux concerts parisiens. »

 

Que voulez-vous dire par « vivre » ?

Nice article but they are STILL claiming Celine has to pull Out of Eurovision due to an episode, I want to know if that’s true or not. 

[Celine Fan 77]

Super excited about everything! As somebody just said, it feels like travelling back in time to 2016. Exciting times ahead! 

However I’m super scared of the ticket prices.

How can they expect to sell 10 arenas and in the same sentence still say that she cancelled Eurovision due to a crisis at last minute

She ll sell out all of them in seconds, Im sure

im not sure about the Eurovision thing. There s no proof she was there. Her team last year declined those supposedly fake rumours. Even tho too late. on the other hand they would never confirm such thing.

 

[george_matei]

What prices should we expect?

even tho I ll have the chance to buy what ticket, my budget is around 350 euro. Is it ok? What do u think?

Yes, I’ve just realised that too. The Eurovision rumour has been denied;  was just a rumour, fake  news ( Eurovision)

[Frenchie]

Wow!! 🫨🫨 New music, photo shoot beginning this month, and tickets on sell first week of April. Sounds like I’m taking a day off to secure tickets. lol Hope we as fans can get a ticket or two for shows! This is going to be insane!!!

Standard tickets for Paris in 2017 were anywhere between €70 and €200 with VIP tickets a lot more.

I think it’s fair to assume prices will be, at a guess, triple or quadruple that. At least.

Just my opinion.

The Eurovision story was fake news that many in the media played along with, as did the festival organisers

I think this is would be for the cheapeast tickets price. We have to think about inflation

Yes her team denied it… but with Paris Match rehashing it in the article, makes me think either…

1. Team Celine lied to us

or and more likely, 

2. Paris Match has their facts wrong, which makes me read the entire article with a grain of salt and loses them credibility.

[Ajax]

I’m not saying she cannot sell but this just seems wrong. They (Paris Match) look really well informed by official sources all that being part of a global communication plan and still in between they again say that a few month ago she was canceling g at the last minute having a crisis. It kills everything said before and the excitement.  I don’t know

I don't think so, they will probably be the same price as usual. Just harder to get...
