“This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life … I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September!”
So much for Celine Dion’s long-awaited return to headline the Las Vegas Strip, where her two resident productions between 2003 and 2019 remain the #1 and #2 highest-grossing and bestselling residencies of all time anywhere.
In a video message beneath the glittering lights of The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, on her own birthday, Dion revealed her return to the stage with “Celine Dion Paris 2026,” a five-week engagement at the Paris La Défense Arena.
Beginning Saturday, Sept. 12, Dion will ignite Europe’s largest indoor arena for 10 nights through Oct. 14, marking one of the most highly anticipated live-music events of the decade. Watch the announcement video here.
“Over the last few years, every day that’s gone by, I’ve felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love. You’ve helped me in ways that I can’t even describe, and I’m truly fortunate to have your support,” Dion said.
“This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life … I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September! I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously a little nervous, but most of all, I’m grateful to all of YOU! I love you all and I’ll see you soon!”
