Celine Dion at Paris La Defense Arena: everything you need to know about the lottery to access the pre-sale
The many fans of Celine Dion are ecstatic! After many rumors, the Canadian diva has confirmed her return to the stage with a series of 10 concerts scheduled at Paris La Defense Arena from September 12 to October 14, 2026. But to experience these reunions with Celine Dion in person, you’ll need to get your hands on the precious ticket. A lottery is being set up to access the pre-sale and be among the first to reserve your seats. Here’s how it works.
It’s worth mentioning that many fans had started dreaming of a potential return of Celine Dion following her performance of “L’Hymne à l’Amour,” sung from the first floor of the Eiffel Tower during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics. Since March 23, rumors about a potential stage comeback of the Canadian star were circulating. Advertisements had taken over the streets of the capital, referencing the iconic songs of the Quebec star, such as “Pour que tu m’aimes encore,” “My Heart Will Go On,” and “The Power of Love.” Celine Dion had also posted old photos of herself in Paris on her social networks with this enigmatic message: “I don’t know how to say it to you.”
The newspaper La Presse and Le Parisien had mentioned a series of concerts at Paris La Defense Arena. A venue that Celine Dion was supposed to take over in 2020. The singer 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 and eventually cancel her “Courage” tour due to Covid and health issues. It was in the autumn of 2022 that Celine Dion was diagnosed with a rare neurological disease, Stiff Person Syndrome, preventing her from returning to the stage.
After several years of absence, Celine Dion is finally preparing to make her grand return to the stage! And it’s in Paris that the Quebec singer will have this highly anticipated residency. To experience this exceptional musical moment firsthand, mark your calendar from September 12 to October 14, 2026 at Paris La Defense Arena!
