Per the listings, Celine Dion is scheduled to perform on the September 12 episode. Usher will play the September 13 “Ellen,” while Chance The Rapper (with Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz) and Carrie Underwood are respectively scheduled for September 15 and 16.
As these performances have not yet been announced on the show’s official website, they should be considered tentative.

For those curious, the tentative TV listings are as follows:
9/12: Ryan Lochte & Cheryl Burke, the man whose surprise reunion with his Gabonese mother went viral, a performance by Celine Dion
