16 concert residency at La Defense Arena in Paris in September/October 2026

[Peppercorn1991]

Another persistent rumor, which has not been confirmed by her team: live from the Eiffel Tower, Céline Dion would announce on Monday, March 30, the day of her birthday, the sale of tickets for her new Parisian concerts. A nice reminder of his remarkable performance - Édith Piaf's hymn to love - during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games in the summer of 2024.

This might be my first time ever seeing Celine live! I just hope I can get a ticket before they vanish, I’m already anxious about that. To the experienced Celine concert goers, do you have any tips to secure nice seats at her shows? 

There will be at least 10 shows so you'll probably be able to get a seat... a nice one, that's something else. There's no secrets unless you have a lot of money to spend.

The Tour Eiffel is a bit been there, done that, no?  I vote for l'Arc de Triomphe.

We definitely need a new documentary following her back on the road. Let's hope they have a few more surprises in store for us.

I am quite certain we will have the documentary of the latest months, while she was preparing her comeback

I find it a bit too much for just an announcement coming all the way to Paris, but on the other hand she has to do some press don't you think?

Michael Jackson did something similar when announcing the This Is It residency in London, after a long period of absence. 

Doing something like this would reach all media and not only sell tickets but more so, change the narrative throughout the world that she is doing well and ready to perform.

Why from the Eiffel Tower? Maybe live from the Arena? Wasn't there a pic from a press conference on TikTok?

Yes, MJ did that too.

Because that’s where she last performed and made headlines around the world?  And it’s the place she is going to perform? It’s marketing… and if true, it’s marketing at its finest. Surely you can see this?

Celine. The greatest singer the world has known. And the bravest. Welcome home ❤️ we’ve waited and waited. Almost lost hope. What a total dream ❤️

The queen deserves the most beautiful Throne in the world. Bonsoir, Paris

I agree. OMG I can't wait

Here are some thoughts on the logistics:

• La Defense Arena has capacity of 40.000 people. If Celine gives 10 concerts, this means 400.000 attendees. I think it is safe to say that we will be able to book a ticket, considering that the total attendance of the Courage World Tour was around 650.000 and most of us who wanted to find a ticket were able to. Besides, she might add some shows if the concerts sell out quickly.
• The prices should be high because this is how the game is played nowadays. No shade, but we have artists like Harry Styles with 3 personal albums charging as much as $1500 for a VIP ticket. Celine who has built an entire empire the past 45 years is definitely entitled to some pricey tickets in today's market. I know some of you might be disappointed, but always remember the context in which Celine operates.

I don’t know whether to try and get seats or wait for North America ? Will there be North America ?  I can’t see her NOT doing Quebec but man I have a feeling this is all she’s doing this year.

this makes sense for a comeback. Resorts world is way too anticlimactic.  And did you see their line up ? Pathetic. The comeback needs to be huge and 400,000 seats sold at an average of probably 500 a pop is gonna be huge

Yes, I understand it's PR. But isn't that too much? The posters in Paris are a great idea, but for me the Eiffel Tower is too much. It stands for the Olympic Games. If you know what I mean.

Nothing is ever too much for Celine, she is known for being dramatic, but reminding people about her performance at the Olympics also won’t do any harm.  

Thats my opinion - I get what your saying.   It would make headlines around the world if this is true.

I don’t care if she announces it sat in bed with her nighty on. As long as she announces it. 🤣🥰🥰

[homerton]

I think she’ll have a new hair. Longer wavy.   And looking bloody gorgeous xxxx how wonderful must it feel to know even when facing a dark and cruel illness, you’ve got through. She was already an icon. She’s even higher now.

I was wondering if they may pull out a completely new look for this new chapter. Honestly she can go back to the 2003 blonde pixie at this point and I wouldn’t care. I’m just so glad to have new performances! If she does come to NY, I’m going!

Well that was prior to her illness and Olympics. Now, with her even grander stature, I would be more incline to believe that that 400.000 would not be enough if there are the sole shows in the whole of Europe. But we shall see 🙃

[george_matei]

There were also rumours that she ll do two shows at the stade de france

change la defense with stade de france, add 25 shows and maybe there will be enought tickets 🤭

[Koolan]

It would be amazing if the show is held at Metlife stadium in nyc. It's the largest stadium in the US with 82,500 seats. I don't think she's ever had one in an outdoor venue in the US. 

[pat200]

I find it funny that Munich was interested. She barely was able to fill 30k in 2008 and all her German stops were no where near being full. That would have been the last major city to expect as showing interest.

Paris makes so much sense.

I agree. I would have liked London for closeness but yes Paris feels right.

If it had been the sole location of European concerts, I guess it would not have mattered, as people would have come from France, UK, Poland, etc, and not solely Germans 😉

The numbers for the German leg of the courage tour was a far stronger showing than the taking chances numbers. Interestingly enough, the Taking Chances Tour had some of (possibly even THE best) her best ever numbers in the US, but for the rest of the world it was some of her lowest box scores ever, she didn’t even manage to sell out in Paris in 08. 

[stevo]

I don’t think she was as universally ‘cool’ in 2008 as she was towards the end of Vegas when the ‘Celineassaince’ began

[Ajax]

This is why I may be the only one but I’m not sure 2026 is the new courage era and not 2008. I mean the last time the public eye heard about Dion is her having crisis and explaining she cannot sing anymore. She has something to prove before people pay that much money to see her.

This! ^^^ I want to get my 10th concert SO BAD but I don't know if I can make Paris happen. I'm in Ohio and it's around a fun 11 hour road trip to Montreal or I could totally fly on some points.

any thoughts on PRE-SALE from celinedion.com like before for her Vegas shows?
