Event summary

Highlights

First full concert performance since March 2020
16-show engagement at Plenitude Arena in Nanterre
25-song setlist spanning over two hours
Sold-out opening night with 30,000 attendees

The concert residency at the Plenitude Arena in Nanterre represents Celine Dion's first full-length concert performance since March 2020. The 2026 series consists of 16 performances scheduled over five weeks, with an additional 10 shows currently planned for May 2027. The opening night drew a sold-out audience of approximately 30,000 people and featured a setlist of 25 songs spanning over two hours.

Dion's performance included staple hits such as "My Heart Will Go On," "The Power of Love," and "All By Myself," alongside an operatic aria and appearances by an 18-voice gospel choir. The staging, designed by Willo Perron, utilized a large-scale set described as a modern Stonehenge. Notable attendees for the debut performance included former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama.

This series serves as a significant milestone in Dion's career following her 2022 diagnosis of stiff person syndrome, a condition that previously forced the cancellation of her world tour. The singer acknowledged the emotional weight of the return, addressing the crowd regarding her health and recovery. The Nanterre shows follow her brief appearance at the 2024 Olympic opening ceremony in Paris.
