November 7, 2007 -- In a little more than a month from now, the final curtain will rise and fall, on Celine Dion's record breaking engagement of A NEW DAY... at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. December 15th, 2007 marks the end of a remarkable journey of five consecutive years of sold-out performances, playing to nearly 3 million people. But as this incredible journey comes to an end, a brand new adventure begins….Celine embarks on her Taking Chances World Tour with stops in Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe, before returning to the US and Canada.

Today, Celine announced plans for the North American leg of this tour…45 arena dates which will launch in Boston on August 12, 2008. The tour will wind its way throughout the U.S. and the singer’s native Canada over the course of six months, culminating on January 30, 2009 in Ft. Lauderdale. It promises to be another spectacular live concert event where Celine will perform her biggest hits, along with songs from her new English album Taking Chances which will be released on November 13th. The show, which is being directed by Jamie King (Madonna's Confessions World Tour, Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics World Tour, Ricky Martin's Livin’ La Vida Loca World Tour) will accompany Celine's performances with a visual feast of color, fashion, dance and surprise!

“These past five years of performing at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas have been an incredibly rewarding experience for myself and my family, but I'm ready to hit the road again, with my husband and son by my side", says Dion. It's going to be so exciting to tour the US and Canada again, and perform everything with a brand new show. I just can’t wait!”
