Céline Dion concert chronology

Starting in March 1994, Céline Dion's The Colour of My Love Tour was a concert tour organized to support the album The Colour of My Love.[1]

History

Dion started her tour in early March 1994 in Canada performing at the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto. She also gave 6 concerts at the Montreal Forum in late March and early April.

From June 8 to August 27, 1994, Céline Dion toured the United States with Michael Bolton. They performed in twenty-thousand-seat-arenas, and in the "sheds" that open onto natural amphitheaters. It was their second, sold out tour.[2]

In September 1994, Dion performed at the Paris Olympia in France and in December 1994 in Japan again.

She also toured the United Kingdom in May 1995, including a sold-out concert at HMV Hammersmith Apollo, London on May 25.
