On January 24, 2017, Céline and her team announced a European tour for the summer. It had been nine years since she had given a concert in Europe, elsewhere than in France and Belgium.
The tour started on June 15, 2017 in Copenhagen and ended on August 5 in Glasgow. Céline gave concerts in Germany, Switzerland, England, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Scotland and of course in France, in which she visited cities such as Paris, Lille, Lyon, Nice, Bordeaux, Marseille, a first since the Falling Into You: Around The World tour.
After twenty-five sold-out shows, the tour generated close to $ 63.3 million in revenue. This tour was seen by nearly 458,000 spectators.
Véronic DiCaire was the opening act for Céline's concerts. Sony Music France decided, on the occasion of this tour, to release a compilation: Un peu de nous
At the tour premiere in Copenhagen, Celine sang her popular hits, as well as two new singles: Recovering and How Does A Moment Last Forever. But Céline also offered some surprises: That's the Way It Is which she had not sung on stage since 1999, The Colour of My Love, Misled, Refuse to Dance which she did hadn't sung for twenty years, as well as the track Love Is All We Need which had never been sung on stage.
For the first French date of the tour, Celine and the fans met in Bordeaux, on June 29, 2017. The song list has been completely modified for the French-speaking tour in order to include songs from the album Encore un soir : L'Étoile, Ordinaire, Si c'est à refaire, À vous and Encore un soir. Céline also performed Zora sourit and Le ballet. During the performance of the song, "Le Ballet," Celine arrived in a sexy outfit while dancing with dancer Pepe Muñoz.
The Parisian concerts of July 8 and 9 as well as the London dates of July 29 and 30 were recorded but no release has been announced. On January 26, 2018, the performance of the song "Encore un soir" was broadcast on TF1 in the program "Jean-Jacques Goldman, 40 years of music".
