Dion began her career as a teen Francophone artist and embarked on three concert tours in the 1980s. Following her foray into English-speaking music markets, she supported her debut and sophomore English-language albums with the Unison Tour and Celine Dion in Concert, visiting cities across Canada from 1990 to 1993. Dion embarked on her first world tour with The Colour of My Love Tour from 1994 to 1995, visiting North America, Europe, and Asia. She followed this with the D'eux Tour (1995–1996) and Falling into You: Around the World, where she progressively moved to large-scale stadiums. Following her increasing popularity worldwide, Dion supported her fifth English-language album with the Let's Talk About Love World Tour. It became the highest grossing tour by a female artist of the 1990s, grossing US$133 million from 97 shows.[5] Dion then went on a two-year hiatus to focus on her family.

Following her return to music, Dion signed a US$100 million contract to perform in Las Vegas,[6] debuting A New Day... in 2003. The show ran until 2007 and became the highest-grossing concert residency of all time, earning US$385 million.[7] Dion did not tour again until the Taking Chances World Tour in 2008. While the critical response for the tour were mixed, it became a major success and generated a total gross of US$279.2 million,[A] the seventh most successful concert tour of the 2000s. Dion returned to Las Vegas in 2011 for her second concert residency, Celine. A review in Variety by Richard Ouzounian said: "chanteuse's powerhouse show has wide-ranging appeal."[10] The show, which ran until 2019, grossed US$296.2 million and at that time became the highest paid entertainer in Las Vegas.[11] Dion then headlined the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in 2012,[12] became its most expensive headliner,[13] and embarked on several Francophone tours to promote her albums; European Tour 2013 and Summer Tour 2016.

Dion broke venue records in the UK with Celine Dion Live 2017 and was well-received by critics with Metro contributor Tobi Akingbade stating that "her vocal ability can easily be considered the eighth wonder of the world."[14][15] Dion next visited Asia and Oceania with Celine Dion Live 2018, which had its biggest engagement in Taiwan, where over 300,000 people attempted to purchase tickets simultaneously,[16] causing a thirty-minute system crash. Dion finished the remaining dates of Celine and embarked on her first world tour in over a decade, Courage World Tour. It completed 52 shows across North America before it was suspended in March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic and became the highest-grossing pop tour of 2020, grossing US$104 million.[17] After attempts to reschedule the remaining dates, the tour was officially canceled in May 2023 after Dion announced her Stiff-person syndrome diagnosis.[18] Following an extended hiatus caused by health issues, Dion announced her return to live entertainment through Celine Dion Paris 2026, her third concert residency consisting of 26 shows. The show generated global demand, with nine million people entering a lottery for early access to tickets.[19][20]
