Incognito Tour was the second concert tour by the Canadian singer Celine Dion, who embarked on it to support her eighth studio album, Incognito (1987). The tour began on 11 January 1988 in Rouyn-Noranda, Canada, and concluded on 11 July 1989, in Quebec City, Canada. It encompassed over 80 shows and visited 27 cities in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario in Canada.A special date was held in Lausanne,Switzerland during the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 week.

History

Dion toured Quebec only. The Incognito tournée started on 11 January 1988 at the Theatre du Cuivre, Rouyn-Noranda. Dion gave 7 concerts in the northern region of Quebec and 2 in Laval.[1] [2] [3]

Dion gave a series of 42 consecutive shows at the Saint-Denis Theatre in Montreal. She performed there for a month starting on 10 February 1988, and later between 12–17 April 1988, 14–19 June 1988, 21–24 September 1988 and 14–18 December 1988.

Dion performed mainly tracks from Incognito, but also a medley of songs from the musical Starmania, "Ton visage" (Jean-Pierre Ferland's cover) and she did imitations of Michael Jackson, Mireille Mathieu, Ginette Reno and Diane Dufresne. During that tour she lost her voice for the first time.[4]

On 2 May 1989, a year after winning the Eurovision Song Contest with "Ne partez pas sans moi," Dion gave her first concert in Switzerland. She performed in Theatre de Baulieu in Lausanne.[5]

In reference to this tour Dion has said "The memories that first come to mind when I think of the Incognito tour are filled with fits of laughter. From the beginning, in Abitibi, just like the preceding tour, we all knew that we had a good product. And an audience that had been conquered in advance."
