Not only were Celine Dion's French fans disappointed, but they were also a little worried.
At the end of April, the Quebec singer announced to them that she had to postpone her European tour for another year, and on the new poster unveiled, the Parisian concerts were the only ones not yet to have precise dates in September 2023… End of suspense, they can be reassured.
The six dates were revealed this Tuesday at noon.
The artist will perform at Paris La Défense Arena on September 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 and 10, in front of a total of no less than 180,000 spectators.
Tickets already purchased are obviously valid for new shows in 2023
(June 26, 2020 is postponed to September 1, 2023, June 27, 2020 to September 2, 2023, and so on)
.
For two years, this is the fourth time that these concerts have been postponed.
The first three times, the postponement was due to the pandemic.
This time it's about health issues.
Celine Dion has been undergoing treatment for a few months for “acute and continuous muscle spasms”, which prevent her from going on stage and her healing “takes longer than she expected”.
At the Vieilles Charrues festival on Thursday July 13, 2023.
The Quebecer explained this in a video shot at her home at the end of April: “I am so sorry, saddened to be forced to postpone the shows once again.
The first time was obviously because of the pandemic and this time it's my health that forces me to postpone the shows of the European tour… I still feel a little better… but I have always muscle spasms.
… I have to be in good shape, in good health so that I can give 100% of myself on stage because that's what you deserve.

Among these multiple postponements, the event concert that the Vieilles Charrues have also been waiting for for two years is obviously maintained.
After two postponements, the Quebec star will perform for the first time in the biggest French festival on Thursday, July 13, 2023. Despite the announcements, the tickets have all been kept and the concert is still sold out.
And for good reason, it will be a unique date in a French festival, and therefore the very first of its aptly named “Courage World Tour” on our territory.
