Céline Dion to resume concerts at Paris La Défense Arena in September 2026

Canadian singer Céline Dion announced a limited residency at Paris La Défense Arena, scheduled from 12 September to mid‑October 2026. The engagement will feature a series of shows – ten to sixteen performances depending on the source – marking her first full‑scale return to the stage after cancelling her 2023 “Courage World Tour” due to a diagnosis of stiff‑person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes muscle rigidity and spasms.

Dion previously made a brief public appearance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, performing “L’Hymne à l’amour” from the Eiffel Tower. She now says she feels strong enough to resume a regular concert schedule. The residency is produced by Concerts West, AEG Presents and Inter Concerts, with creative direction by show designer Willo Perron. Tickets are on sale.

Since 2022 Dion has been living in Henderson, Nevada, near Las Vegas, after selling her former properties in Florida, Paris and elsewhere. Her neurologist, Amanda Piquet, confirmed that Dion has worked intensively to manage her condition and is ready to perform.
