Céline Dion could use the moment to perform several new tracks live from her upcoming album. Slated for 2027, the record has already unveiled its lead single, Dansons. Released on 17 April 2026, the song was written by Jean-Jacques Goldman and produced by Goldman, Luc Leroy, and Yann Macé. This marks Dion's first collaboration with Goldman since the 2016 single Encore un soir. A few months later, on 3 July, Céline Dion unveiled her second single, Bonjour, Pardon, Merci, written by Ycare.

Looking ahead, we’ll have to bide our time a little. But we already know that more big names in Francophone music are joining the project, including Francis Cabrel, Grand Corps Malade, and Stromae.

But this high-profile Céline Dion residency will, of course, be the chance to relive—live—some of the Québécois superstar's biggest hits, including "Pour que tu m'aimes encore".
