THE TOUR
The "Falling into You Tour" (also known as "Falling into You... Around The World") is the seventh world concert tour by Celine Dion. It was organized to support one of the best selling albums of all time, "Falling Into You" which has sold over 32 million copies.
...> About The Tour
In February 1996, Celine Dion announced the launch of her "Falling Into You Tour" in support of a new album. Celine and her band toured Australia, Canada, United States, and many countries in Europe and Asia. In all, the tour lasted more than a year, with 149 shows in 17 different countries. The sold out tour began on March 18, 1996 in Perth, Australia and continued to major cities around the world. It ended on June 26, 1997 in Zurich, Switzerland. In June 1997, Celine toured the biggest stadiums in Europe and sang before huge crowds ranging from 35,000 to 70,000 people. At the end of the Asian leg, in early 1997, Celine performed for the sultan in Brunei. During the run of the tour, many singers did the opening acts on Celine´s concerts as Soul Attorneys, The Corrs (in selected dates in Europe), Mike and the Mechanics and Human Nature.
