ADELE PREPARES FOR GIANT MUNICH LOOK

Adele will begin her huge, 10-date engagement in Germany in two weeks, but she's already prepping fans for a long break once it's complete.

“My tank is quite empty from being onstage every weekend in Las Vegas,” she told German broadcaster ZDF of her two-year residency in Sin City. “I don’t have any plans for new music, at all. I want a big break after this, and I think I want to do other creative things just for a little while.”

The upcoming shows will take place at the bespoke Munich Messe, an open-air, 80k-cap venue (see rendering below). Beginning 8/2, Adele will play twice a week for five weeks through the end of the month to a total audience of 740k; per promoter Marek Lieberberg of Live Nation and Leutgeb Entertainment Group, a handful of tickets are still available. Pre-sale demand topped more than 2.2 million fan registrations.

These will be Adele's first mainland Europe appearances since 2016, and she and her team have designed a “pop-up stadium” for the performance, which is “going to be massive, and a way bigger experience than the capacity of her Vegas shows," said Lieberberg. The LED screens at Munich Messe alone will span 220 meters in width and 30 meters in height—the biggest ever for a stage show in Europe.

Adding to the experience will be a pop-up pub in the style of classic English watering holes, a cover-band stage and vendors hawking specialty cocktails.

Meanwhile, the 16-time Grammy winner will conclude her Weekends With Adele residency at Caesars Palace with 10 shows in October and November. The run began in November 2022 and has since been extended multiple times.

Adele is represented by Jonathan Dickins’ September Management and booked by Lucy Dickins, partner/global head of Contemporary Music and Touring at WME.
