In June 2008, it was announced that Dion will celebrate Quebec City's 400th birthday with special concert on the historic Plains of Abraham on 22 August 2008.[1] Dion personally chose all of the special guest performers for her show.[2] The list of Quebec artists scheduled to perform included: Garou, Marc Dupré, Nanette Workman, Dan Bigras, Mes Aïeux, the Dion family, Zachary Richard, Éric Lapointe, Claude Dubois, Jean-Pierre Ferland and Ginette Reno.[2] Dion and invited artists performed over thirty songs in front of 250,000 spectators.[3] The concert was also broadcast live on giant screens in Lévis, Quebec for an additional 100,000 people.[4] The show was available the next day and until early September, through video-on-demand Vidéotron, Shaw and Cogeco.[5] The distribution of this show was very successful with viewers across Canada.[5] Nearly 130,000 subscribers took advantage of the special offer of the largest cable companies and broadcasters in the country.[5] On 21 September 2008, the show was broadcast on the TVA network, attracting nearly 1.8 million viewers and becoming the evening's most-watched broadcast in Quebec.[5][6]
