On her 58th birthday, March 30, 2026, Céline Dion announced 10 headlining shows at Paris La Défense Arena from September 12 to October 14—her first residency in six years. The news was shared via a pre-recorded video from Las Vegas during a private Trocadéro event featuring an Eiffel Tower light show, with tickets going on sale April 10.
Posters in Paris had recently sparked rumors of Dion's return. About 250 guests, including Sony Music and AEG Presents representatives, Florent Manaudou, and Miss France 2025 Angélique Angarni-Filopon, gathered discreetly at Café de l’Homme on the Trocadéro esplanade. DJ Cheetah played hits like “Taking Chances” and “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.”
At 20:50, a countdown led to a sound-and-light display on the Eiffel Tower, followed by Dion's video. 'This is the first time I’ve ever recorded one for my own birthday. And wow, it’s been hard keeping it a secret from myself!' she said. 'I’m doing great. I’m managing my health, I’m feeling good, I’m singing again, even doing a little bit of dancing.' She reassured fans about her stiff-person syndrome, which sidelined her for seven years except for the Paris 2024 Olympics opening. 'This year, I’m going to receive the best gift of my life. I’ll have the chance to come see you and sing for you in Paris, starting this autumn,' she added.
A special ticket reservation system is available, with general sales starting April 10, per Le Figaro.
