Courage World Tour


The Courage World Tour is the fourteenth concert tour by the Canadian singer Celine Dion, in support of her English-language studio album, Courage, and her first world tour in over a decade, since her Taking Chances World Tour. The tour began in Quebec City, Canada, on 18 September 2019.

Background

The Courage World Tour was officially announced on 3 April 2019 at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. The event was live streamed on Dion's official Facebook page. Tickets went on general sale on 12 April 2019. Earlier the same month, following pre-sale demand, additional shows in Montreal, Toronto, Boston and Miami were added, with two extra shows were added in Montreal, one in Newark and one in New York City to meet demand later. On 11 April 2019, extra dates for Quebec City, Montreal and Ottawa were announced.
On-site rehearsals were held at Videotron Centre in Quebec City starting early September, with Dion and her team of 110 staying at the new hotel Le Capitole for the duration of their time in Quebec City. In September 2019, ConcertFrance announced that Dion will perform at the Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, France on 26 June 2020. That same month, the first four shows in Montreal, scheduled to take place 26, 27 and 30 September, and 1 October 2019, were postponed due to a throat virus; the shows were rescheduled for 18, 19, 21 and 22 November. European dates, as well as additional dates in New York City, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Vancouver were revealed by SoldOutTicketBox.com on 26 September 2019. In March 2020, Dion rescheduled two dates in Washington, D. C. and Pittsburgh, due to the "common cold," despite reports being related to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 12 March 2020, Dion rescheduled the remainder of the North American leg amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. On 24 April 2020, Dion postponed 30 shows originally scheduled to take place from 21 May through 1 September 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Critical reception

The Courage World Tour has received positive reviews. Billboard praised the song choices, the mix of older hits like "Beauty and the Beast" with Dion's new songs like "Courage", and also the "extraordinary" encore: "My Heart Will Go On" and John Lennon's "Imagine". It also praised Dion's voice, her outfits and drones emulating stars, water, and even the Heart of the Ocean diamond during the "My Heart Will Go On" performance. Billboard called the two-hours concert stunning and showstopping. The Courage World Tour was also chosen as one of the best live shows of 2019 by Billboard.

Commercial reception

According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Dion topped the 30 November-dated Hot Tours recap with $33.2 million from the tour's first 19 shows. She grossed $7 million in four shows at Montreal's Bell Centre, sold out at 53,864 tickets. The opening leg averaged out to $1.747 million and 12,414 tickets per show. These figures boosted Dion's career-total to $1.115 billion and 8.8 million tickets sold, as reported to Billboard Boxscore.
