While the event concert she was to give at Les Vielles Charrues in July 2021 was canceled due to health restrictions linked to Covid-19, singer Céline Dion promised the organizers that she would take the festival stage in 2023, for the 31st edition.

The Vieilles Charrues festival should soon announce its programming for this summer.

The famous Finistère high mass will be held from July 8 to 18, but its organizers are already seeing further and thinking of 2023, for a summer they hope without Covid-19, with a distinguished guest: Céline Dion.

The singer, who was initially due to perform for the 2020 edition, then 2021, but who had to cancel her concert due to a maximum capacity limited to 5,000 seats, has just assured the organizers of her presence in two years.

"We couldn't help but announce it"

"The Céline Dion file, we have been working on it since 2019, and the health crisis has meant that we had to postpone it. An artist like her organizes her tours many months, even years in advance. We already know that the 'next summer, in 2022, it will not be in Europe. So we tried our luck on 2023 and we had this agreement, "Jérôme Tréhorel, General Manager of Vieilles Charrues, told Europe 1.

"We couldn't help but announce it to all our festival-goers," he enthuses.

A news which, hopes the boss of the Vieilles Charrues, presages better days for the world of the spectacle, while several summer festivals have already been canceled, and that the others will be largely subjected to the requirements of the sanitary constraints.

"It's a way of showing that the Vieilles Charrues are already preparing for the future by planning for their 31st edition, in 2023", underlines Jérôme Tréhorel, who does not doubt that this concert with the interpreter of

My Heart Will Go We

are "exceptional".
