AceShowbiz - Celine Dion has announced an extension to her upcoming Paris residency, adding six additional concerts to her original five-week run in 2026. This expansion brings the total number of shows at the Paris La Défense Arena to 16 performances.

The newly added dates are September 18 and 25, as well as October 2, 9, 16, and 17. These shows are part of her limited engagement return to performing live in the City of Light, which has been highly anticipated by fans worldwide.

Tickets for the expanded run are currently available through an artist presale that started on April 7 and will continue until April 9 at 5:59 a.m. ET. This exclusive presale is accessible only to fans who preregistered and were selected via the Fair AXS registration process that concluded the previous week. Additional information regarding the artist presale can be found on official ticketing platforms.

For those not selected for the artist presale, there is an opportunity to join a waiting list or to purchase tickets during the Visa presale, which begins on April 8 at 4 a.m. ET and ends on April 9 at 5:59 p.m. ET. This second phase of ticket sales provides another chance for fans to secure seats for the much-anticipated residency.

Celine Dion initially revealed the residency dates last month in a heartfelt video recorded at the base of the Eiffel Tower. In the message, she shared updates on her health, stating she is "doing great, managing my health [and] feeling good." This comment alluded to her ongoing battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, a debilitating neurological disorder that has kept her from regular performing.

During the video, Dion expressed deep gratitude toward her supporters, saying, "Even in my most difficult times, you were there for me. You've helped me in ways I can't even describe. I've felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love."

Celine Dion has not performed publicly since 2024, when she delivered a moving rendition of Edith Piaf's "Hymne A L'Amour" from the Eiffel Tower as part of the Summer Olympics opening ceremony. Prior to that, in 2022, she disclosed her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome, which causes severe muscle spasms and forced her to cancel a planned tour due to the condition's severity.

The full list of dates for the 2026 Paris residency now includes the following: September 12, 16, 18, 19, 23, 25, 26, 30; and October 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16, and 17.

This residency marks a significant milestone in Dion's career as she prepares to reconnect with her audience after a prolonged absence from live performances. Fans eagerly await what promises to be a memorable series of concerts in one of the world's most iconic cities.
