Besides the blazers she did a great job.

If true this is the best Céline related news in years… no one dresses Céline for the stage like Annie ( no one ) 😍

Keyword for the “stage”… the blazers for interviews grew old. But yea the stage costumes under Annie was the best of anyone.

First time in YEARS I get this excited about something Céline related. We better start saving money!

True but at that time blazers were a thing… maybe over used I agree, but that was then, this is now 😉

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

I remember when she had her Vegas shows she wasn't allowed to perform outside Vegas except Europe/Asia. That's why the summer tours, and I think later on they weren't so strict so Canada was allowed as well.

Who knows, I'm glad it isn't Vegas for now.

[Shamrock_1982]

Just need to update us about Vegas….

As I mentioned before for me, no other country or venue beats a Vegas residency show, so London and Paris shows ( Arena / Stadium ) do not interest me in the slightest.

But the audience is sooooo much better than Vegas anytime. If you lucky you have a great one in Vegas, but I got plenty shows with just boring high rollers.

Of course La Presse is reliable, so as Paris Match. But they are smart enough not to let people think they know nor they relie rumors. 

Once again I think it would be a non sense for Céline to come-back with some concerts. I think that if Celine comes back, it will be with a new single, then an album and then the shows. Like usually I would say.

Of course. PR concerts for a new French album?

[Shamrock_1982]

Never had a bad show in Vegas…

London shows just seem like a cheaper less intimate and less effort show… Vegas is much more of an experience… Céline store, photo ops with her statue, the show program ladies, and the theatre that was built around that residency with the added wow factor that only vegas can do.

I have been to a French show in Paris and can safely say would never attend one again.

I wonder if her team will reject these claims if they are false or remain quiet on this.

ah aha , who knows ... To me it would be an English album first, because for the big comeback she has to talk to the entire world to make it big. But as everything that run around Celine strategy goes crazy, we never know

For me it only matters seeing Céline in concert, no matter what haha

[KyleVan41]

The team needs to address these “rumors”’soon; fall concerts are annocued already for most artists.  In my arena there are even shows on sale and sold out for early 2027.

the slowest comeback in history.

they really know how to send us to the looney bin don’t they ?

[Alex_Incognito]

I don't care if she ever performs in Vegas again. It's an artistic prison to perform like a trained monkeys for drunks and gambling addicts. Give me a Paris or Montréal audience any day over that.

N O    M O R E.   Vegas... No one ends well in Vegas, look what happened to Sinatra and Elvis... It's time to leave Vegas, Céline, with your shitload of money!

We realize that if Celine returns to Vegas it’ll be less often and it’ll be less shows and it’ll be less likely she’s robotic.

[Shamrock_1982]

A schedule like Adele’s would be perfect.

Exactly … weekends with Celine, but I’d say she’d probably have to do 2 shows broken up and not 2 back to back nights like Adele. 

[Shopiach]

I really hope the war ends soon, if this doesn't end soon, I am afraid at least in the US, -having a show in LV will be very difficult; tough times are coming soon because ot this.

Europe would be fine, but I have the same fears. It easy to do shows in Europe, but the economic consequences are devastating -and I haven't forgotten about the victims of this war.

If things keep going like this, I doubt Celine will return soon; perhaps she will delay her return for this reason. It's very risky for Celine and all the singers who are on tour, I don't see this scenario improving in either short term.

 

[Peppercorn1991]

This is exciting news and for some reason seems true.  
 

I always liked Annie Horth and this makes me very excited if true!  
 

we should hear something very soon if this really is the plan.

Paris crowds are the best 🤩

[Celine Fan 77]

Honestly the last thing I expected was Annie Horth coming back. Time to celebrate! To me she’s the one who shaped the classic Céline image back in the 90s.

They are the absolute worst!!!!

They think they are at a football match and everytime Céline is about to talk they do that annoying football chant everytime…. Both highly annoying and rude to Céline and everyone else in attendance… do it once and shut up!

[Frenchie]

Wonder if after these Paris shows, there will be Montreal shows on the books? 

[Nmj]

I feel whatever the case, it should be filmed for us all.

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.

 

All very exciting indeed if it's true.

Quite a good article I thought,  well put

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. 

I tend to go with this idea
