Céline Dion to return to the stage with Paris concert — details

Céline Dion is ready for her long-awaited comeback.

Though the “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” singer previously returned to the stage with her triumphant rendition of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour,” which she performed at the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, it has been six years since she held an actual concert.

Now, the beloved hitmaker is ready to change that, come this fall.

The French-Canadian newspaper La Presse reported on Sunday that Céline is expected to be back on the stage as early as this September, for a string of performances at the Paris La Défense Arena, which was recently acquired by Live Nation. 

HELLO! has reached out to Céline’s reps for comment.

La Presse as well as Variety report that Céline will perform two concerts each week in September and October at the 40,000-seat venue.

Her comeback concerts have already been teased across Paris, with fan accounts sharing photos of posters displayed across the city featuring titles of some of her most popular songs, including “Power of Love,” from 1993, and “Pour Que tu M’aimes Encore,” which was released in 1995.

Céline was previously scheduled to perform at La Défense in 2020 — her last concert was March 8 that year — as part of her Courage World Tour, however they were postponed due to the global pandemic.

They were delayed once again in 2022 due to her health issues, which were later confirmed to be Stiff Person Syndrome.

Céline revealed her battle with SPS in 2022; SPS is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms. She documented much of her battle against the illness, which is treatable, in the 2024 documentary I Am: Céline Dion.

Aside from her 2024 Olympics performance and the documentary, Céline has largely stayed away from the spotlight in recent years, save for occasional social media posts or appearances in Canada or Las Vegas, where she’s had multiple residencies over the years.

She is a mom to three sons, René-Charles, 25, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 15, who she shared with René Angélil, her husband from 1994 until his passing aged 73 in 2016.
