Celine Dion concert chronology

The D'eux Tour was the seventh concert tour by Canadian singer Celine Dion, launched to promote her tenth French-language studio album, D'eux (1995). The tour marked Dion's return to extensive live performance in Europe and coincided with the album's growing international success. D'eux ultimately became the best‑selling French‑language album of all time.[1][2]

History

Following five initial concerts in Quebec City, Dion embarked on a four‑month European tour, performing in 11 countries and giving 42 sold‑out shows. The itinerary included nine dates in Paris, many in venues with capacities exceeding 14,000. Irish band The Corrs served as an opening act during the United Kingdom and Ireland dates. During one performance at the Zénith de Paris, Dion temporarily lost her voice.[3][4]
