About Celine Dion

Celine Dion, one of the best-selling artists of all time, last performed a full show on March 8, 2020, in Newark, New Jersey. Her Courage tour was first disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic and later cancelled entirely following her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome, a condition that significantly affected her ability to perform.

For her upcoming residency, the concert dates have been spaced out deliberately, allowing her time to recover between performances and avoid any unnecessary strain on her health.

Tickets for the highly anticipated shows will go on sale starting April 7, 2026. Given the scale of her global fanbase and the significance of this comeback, demand is expected to be exceptionally high. Fans can begin registering their interest through her official website from March 31, 2026.
