Taking Chances Pays Off For Celine Dion – World Tour Opens In South Africa And Plays To More Than 300000 Fans
South Africa is presently hosting the country’s biggest concert tour ever by
a major international artist. Canadian superstar CELINE DION is currently on an
unprecedented nine city tour of the country playing to capacity crowds,
primarily in stadiums from coast to coast. She concludes her successful South
African journey with two outdoor performances in Johannesburg, on February 29
and March 1st.
Though Celine has been performing in her record-breaking
Las Vegas engagement for the past 5 years, it has been close to 10 years since
she has toured around the world. On her Taking Chances World tour, Celine will
visit many territories for the very first time, including this inaugural visit
to South Africa where she holds the record for being the country’s biggest
selling artist of all time.
Celine Dion has played to over 300 000 South
Africans who have been mesmerized by her incredible, new show. “Starting in
South Africa on my World Tour has been a fantastic experience and a perfect way
for my family and I to begin this new chapter on the road. It’s a wonderful
feeling to be back on tour and to be re-connecting with all of my fans around
the world.”
Immediately following this current leg, Celine continues
with performances in Japan, Korea, Australia, Malaysia and China. In May 2008
the tour moves to the UK, and Europe playing stadiums and arenas, and finally it
heads back across the ocean where Celine will open the North American leg of her
tour in Boston on August 12th.
