Celine Dion has announced her North American ‘Courage World Tour.’ The trek, which launches in the fall, marks the singer’s first U.S. tour run in more than a decade. 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.

Article content Céline Dion has announced a world tour, including stops in more than 50 cities, and it is scheduled to kick off in Quebec. The Courage World Tour will begin with concerts at Quebec City’s Centre Vidéotron (Sept. 18 and 20) before moving on to Montreal’s Bell Centre on Sept. 26 and 27. If two concerts doesn’t seem like much compared to Dion’s 10-show Bell Centre residency in 2016, it may be worth noting that there’s more than enough room on the itinerary for additional local dates: the next stop after Montreal is Ottawa, on Oct. 16. Dion then has a full slate of North American shows through April. We apologize, but this video has failed to load. tap here to see other videos from our team.
