Céline Dion has commenced her highly anticipated 26-concert residency at Paris’ Plentitude Arena, her first full concert series since March 2020. The engagement began on September 12, with Dion taking the stage for a triumphant four-act, 26-song performance that included signature hits like “Pour que tu m’aimes encore,” “The Power of Love,” and “My Heart Will Go On.”

Following the initial concerts on September 12 and September 16, the 58-year-old vocalist is scheduled for 24 additional performances at the Plentitude Arena. The residency is set to run from September 2026 through May 2027.
Tickets for the remaining shows are available, with prices varying. As of September 17, 2026, the lowest reported ticket price on Vivid Seats was $162 USD, including fees, for select dates. Other available seats range from $191 to $482 USD, also including fees.
Audience members have expressed profound emotional responses to Dion’s performances. One fan shared on Instagram that attendees "cried the whole time," describing the experience as "incredible" and "amazing."
The setlist for Dion’s comeback show featured a blend of her most beloved songs and some deeper cuts, divided into four acts followed by an encore. Notable performances included "Encore un soir," "Because You Loved Me," and a medley of uptempo hits. The encore featured powerful ballads such as "All by Myself" and "My Heart Will Go On."
