She announced the news during a Facebook Live event on Wednesday, which featured a short video chronicling the end to her long-running Las Vegas residency. Her last Caesars Palace date is on June 8th. “I’m so grateful to all the fans who have come to see my show in Las Vegas for so many years, and now I get the chance to create a brand new show and bring it to them in North America, and around the world,” the singer said in a statement. “I’m very excited about this tour, and my new album … coming later this year.” Her new North American trek kicks off this fall and runs through spring of 2020. It launches at Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, with two dates on September 18th and 20th. Following five shows in Canada, she travels stateside for a performance at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio on October 18th with several ensuing tour stops that will take her through the Midwest and eastern cities until the end of the year. The tour picks up in 2020 with a show on January 8th in Jacksonville, Florida at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena and then she heads through several southern states and up the East Coast before traveling west. This leg of the tour culminates on April 27th at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on April 27th. Dion announced the tour in a promo titled “Ciao for now Las Vegas.” In it, Dion heads out on the road in a semi-trailer truck with plenty of her Vegas cohorts in the back: an Elvis impersonator, a showgirl, even an elderly woman hitting the jackpot at a slot machine. When their truck breaks down, Celine and her crew get a little help from – who else? – a car full of drag queens singing “My Heart Will Go On.” The promo also teases a new song, “Flying On My Own,” from her upcoming new album Courage. Tickets go on sale for Dion’s shows through her March 13th date in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on April 12th, with pre-sale tickets available to TeamCeline members and American Express Card members beginning on April 8th through April 11th. Ticket orders come with one CD copy of Dion’s forthcoming English album, which is slated for release this fall. In her Facebook Live video, she said the new LP would arrive in “November, roughly.” Tickets for her scheduled spring performances following her Pittsburgh stop will go on sale at a later date.

TORONTO - Celine Dion is embarking on her first North American tour in more than a decade. The Quebecois superstar revealed plans to play more than 50 cities across Canada and the United States starting in Quebec City on Sept. 18 and 20. Dion will then head to Montreal for two shows on Sept. 26 and 27 before hitting Ottawa on Oct. 16 and Toronto on Dec. 9. The dates are part of a larger world tour that'll coincide with the release of her new album "Courage" later this year. Dion made the announcement during a Facebook webcast from the Ace Hotel's theatre in Los Angeles on Wednesday. She performed some of her famous hits, including "My Heart Will Go On" and "I'm Alive," and took questions from viewers on social media. The singer, who is to end her Las Vegas residency in June, suggested it was time for something new. "So many people came to see us, and now I think it's time we go see them," she told an audience of her fans. Tickets for the first leg of the tour go on sale April 12. She is to return to Canada in 2020 with a second leg of dates next year in Vancouver (April 17), Edmonton (April 21), Saskatoon (April 25) and Winnipeg (April 27). Further shows outside North America weren't part of the announcement. Dion told the audience she decided to name her album and tour "Courage" because it recognized the challenges life can hand people. In her case, she said it was the death of her husband and longtime mentor Rene Angelil. "I went through a lot, and life had given me the tools ... to find my inner strength, to find courage to keep going," she said. "When I lost Renee, before he went to his other life, he wanted me back on stage. He wanted me to make sure I was still practicing my passion, and I wanted to prove to him that I'm fine, we're fine, we're going to be OK. I've got this." "Courage" marks her first album of new material since her French-language effort "Encore un soir" in 2016.
