Charlotte Cardin
The Montreal-born, Paris-based singer will play four nights at her hometown arena on Oct. 20, 21, 22 and 25 — two of which are already sold out, with a third one coming imminently.
Charlotte Cardin is planning a major homecoming in Montreal.
Now based in Paris, Cardin will be hitting the road in 2027 in support of her forthcoming album, Midnight, mon amour, out Jan. 29 via Cult Nation. She’ll return to Montreal in 2027 to play four nights at Bell Centre on Oct. 20, 21, 22 and 25.
It’s a historic moment for the inaugural Billboard Canada Woman of the Year, who has sold out two of the four dates (Oct. 21 and 25), while Oct. 20 is on its way to selling out. With those two sold-out shows, she’ll be playing to over 40,000 fans across two nights. If all four shows sell out, that’s nearly 90,000 attendees.
Previously, Cardin played four nights at Place Bell in Laval (just outside of Montreal), all of which were sold out in 2024, supporting her sophomore album, 99 Nights. The Quebec venue has a capacity of just under 11,000 people, nearing the total of Cardin’s two sold-out nights at Centre Bell.
In addition, Cardin has sold out her first of two nights at Quebec City’s Centre Vidéotron on Oct. 16. While the singer has played festivals in the city, these shows mark her first-ever headlining shows at the 21,000-capacity venue.
Cardin’s Canadian trek actually kicks off in Moncton at Avenir Centre (Oct. 8), followed by a show in Halifax at Scotiabank Centre (Oct. 9). She took the stage at Toronto’s inaugural All Things Go festival at RBC Amphitheatre (then known as Budweiser Stage) in 2025, and will now headline her biggest show in the city at Coca-Cola Coliseum on Oct. 14. That’s followed by her historic dates in Quebec City and Montreal. Tickets are available now.
Midnight, mon amour is Cardin’s third studio album, following 2024’s 99 Nights. She has called the project a "shadow album,” explaining that she “wanted to explore all of the inner duality” of being a woman.
“I wanted to use those oppositions and those contradictory feelings as something that’s empowering and liberating,” she said. The album is already building major momentum with “Memories,” landing on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, along with previously released songs, “The Way We Touch,” and “Tant pis pour elle.”
99 Nights reached No. 3 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and brought Cardin much acclaim outside of Canada, with lead single “Confetti” landing on the U.S. Adult Pop Airplay chart. Later on, her single “Feel Good” landed on the France Songs chart, reaching No. 5.
