The announcement was delivered in an emotional video message broadcast beneath the Eiffel Tower on her birthday, with the singer addressing fans directly. “Over the last few years, every day that’s gone by, I’ve felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love."
"You’ve helped me in ways that I can’t even describe, and I’m truly fortunate to have your support,” she said.
“This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life…I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September! I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously a little nervous, but most of all, I’m grateful to all of YOU!"
"I love you all and I’ll see you soon!”

The shows will see Dion perform a selection of her most iconic hits in both English and French, celebrating a catalogue that has defined her career across generations.
The production, led by award-winning creative director Willo Perron, is expected to deliver a large-scale live experience in what is Europe’s biggest indoor arena, placing her among a select group of artists to headline the venue for an extended run.
Tickets for the shows will go on general sale on Friday, April 10 at 9am, with several pre-sale opportunities available in the lead-up.
An artist pre-sale will begin on Tuesday, April 7, while a dedicated pre-sale for Visa cardholders is set for Wednesday, April 8. Fans can register in advance for access, though entry into the pre-sale does not guarantee tickets.
A limited number of VIP packages and combined ticket-and-hotel experiences will also be released, with Marriott Bonvoy confirmed as the official hotel partner for the residency.
The packages will offer travelling fans accommodation options across the French capital alongside access to exclusive experiences tied to the shows.
The residency is being produced by Concerts West, AEG Presents, and Inter Concerts, and is already being positioned as one of the most significant live music events of the year.
For Dion, it marks the beginning of what is being described as a “powerful new chapter” in her career, as she steps back onto the stage in one of Europe’s most high-profile venues.
With demand expected to be extremely high, Irish fans considering making the trip to Paris will likely need to act quickly once tickets go live, as anticipation continues to build around one of the most iconic voices in music making her return.
