Canadian singer Céline Dion has headlined fifteen concert tours, two concert residencies, eight one-off concerts and five television specials since her recording career commenced in the 1980s. As of July 2022, Dion has reportedly grossed $1.35 billion from her shows and has sold 10.9 million tickets worldwide.[1] She is the second highest grossing female touring artist, third by any solo artist and seventh overall.[2] According to Billboard Boxscore, she is only the second female artist in history to reach $1 billion in tour revenue,[3] and one of only eight artists to cross the billion-dollar mark in history.[4]

After initially beginning her music career as a French-language singer, Dion embarked on three concert tours during the 1980s—Les chemins de ma maison, Céline Dion en concert and Incognito tournée. Following her foray into English-speaking music markets, she released her debut and sophomore English-language albums (in 1990 and 1992, respectively), and subsequently headlined two concert tours from 1990 to 1993; The Unison Tour and Celine Dion in Concert visited cities across Canada. In 1994, Dion embarked on her first world tour, The Colour of My Love Tour, performing across North America, Europe and Asia. In 1995, she performed 47 shows (including 42 sellouts) for D'eux Tour. In 1996, she embarked on Falling into You: Around the World, visiting some of the biggest venues in Europe, such as Parken Stadium and King Baudouin Stadium. Following the global success of "My Heart Will Go On", which featured on the soundtrack to the blockbuster film Titanic (1997), Dion embarked on the Let's Talk About Love World Tour; the tour's two-night run at the Stade de France broke capacity records, making her the venue's first artist to perform a show for at least 90,000 fans—a combined total of 180,000 attendees for two nights. The tour received positive reviews from critics, earning around $133 million.[5]

In the early 2000s, Dion took a break from touring, but returned with her first Las Vegas concert residency, A New Day..., in 2003. The show was a massive success, becoming the highest-grossing residency show of all time, earning around $385 million.[6][7] After a run of five years in Vegas, Dion returned to touring in 2008 with the Taking Chances World Tour (her first tour in nine years, since 1998's Let’s Talk About Love Tour), breaking multiple attendance records at venues such as Montréal's Bell Centre, St. Louis' Sprint Center, the New Orleans Arena and Miami's American Airlines Arena,[8][9] and becoming the second-highest-grossing tour by a solo artist of the 2000s decade ($279.2 million).[10][5] Dion returned to Las Vegas in 2011 for her second concert residency, Celine. The show earned $296 million during its run, becoming the second-highest-grossing residency show in history. According to Billboard magazine, Dion has grossed over $681 million from two of her residency shows, becoming the highest-grossing artist-in-residency in history.[4]
