Since her rendition of " L'Hymne à l'Amour ", sung from the 1st floor of the Eiffel Tower during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, many have started hoping again. And rumors surrounding a potential Céline Dion stage comeback are rife. On Europe 1 on November 26, press attaché, columnist and French chanson specialist Fabien Lecœuvre spoke of a huge concert by the Canadian artist at the Stade de France in June 2026.
On Thursday December 26, 2024, Paris Match also reported that the Quebec diva would be making a comeback in 2026, but at a different venue in the Paris region. According to the weekly magazine, Europe's largest indoor venue, the Paris la Défense Arena, has been selected as the venue of choice ! Céline Dion could take over this Hauts-de-Seine venue in the last quarter of 2026, with a series of ten dates. " The idea is for all the European spectators to come to Paris, rather than for her to travel to a different city each night, but we won't have confirmation until she's sure she can do the show 100%," the French singer's producer told Paris Match.
Céline Dion was due to take over the Paris La Défense Arena in 2020. The performer of " I'm Alive " and " Pour que tu m'aimes encore " had planned to give six major concerts there in June and July 2020. But the artist had no choice but to postpone, then eventually cancel his"Courage" tour due to health problems. In the autumn of 2022, Céline Dion was diagnosed with a rare neurological disease, Stiff Person Syndrome, which prevented her from returning to the stage.
In addition to this possible return to Paris in 2026, Paris Match also mentions the preparation of two albums, one of which will be in French. Jean-Jacques Goldman has reportedly been asked to contribute to this one.
So, will Céline Dion 's long-awaited comeback actually take place in 2026? Will the Quebec star soon be in residence at the Paris La Défense Arena? For the time being, the suspense remains, but fans want to believe!
