Adele announces new European tour dates in a 'bespoke pop-up stadium'
Adele will be taking her show on the road and performing in a "one off, bespoke pop-up stadium" in Germany this summer.
The singer - who is currently performing a residency in Las Vegas - hasn't toured in 6 years and previously admitted she probably wouldn't hit the road again as it "doesn't suit me particularly well."
But it appears the Set Fire To The Rain hitmaker, 35, has had a change of heart. Adele will perform at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, for the final time on 15th June, before taking kickstarting a new run of shows over in Munich.
Announcing the new tour dates this morning, Adele admitted performing in Europe for the first time since 2016 will be a "wonderful" and a fitting way to "end this beautiful phase of my life and career with shows closer to home during such an exciting summer."

Writing on Instagram this morning, the award-winning singer told fans: “So a few months ago I got a call about a summer run of shows. I’ve been content as anything with my shows in London’s Hyde Park and my residency in Vegas, so I hadn’t had any other plans. However, I was too curious to not follow up and indulge in this idea – a one off, bespoke pop-up stadium designed around whatever show I want to put on? Ohh!? Pretty much slap bang in the middle of Europe? In Munich? That’s a bit random, but still fabulous! Right after the Euros? Come on England! With the Olympics next door? Go on Simone!

And some of my favourite artists playing shows too? Why…YES!! I haven’t played in Europe since 2016! I couldn’t think of a more wonderful way to spend my summer and end this beautiful phase of my life and career with shows closer to home during such an exciting summer. Guten Tag babes x."
Fans were quick to react to the shock news, with one declaring: "One thing about Adele is she going to do anything to make her fans happy." Another took to the comment section underneath Adele's bombshell post and wrote: "OMG OMG OMG OMG EUROPEAN ROAD TRIP."
As her epic world tour came to an end in 2017, Adele warned fans she probably wouldn't tour the globe again - penning a heartfelt note to fans on Instagram after playing the first of four massive shows at London’s Wembley Stadium. In the handwritten note, the mum-of-one told followers: "So this is it after 15 months on the road and 18 months of ’25’ we are at the end. We have taken this tour across UK + Ireland, throughout Europe, all over America and I finally got to go to Australia and New Zealand too."
"Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn’t suit me particularly well," she continued. "I’m a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I’m dramatic and have a terrible history of touring. Until now that is! I’ve done 119 shows and these last 4 will take me up to 123, it has been hard out an absolute thrill and pleasure to have done."
She added: "I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favourite artist have had on me live. And I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don’t know if I’ll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home. Thank you for coming, for all of your ridiculous love and kindness. I will remember all of this for the rest of my life. Love you. Goodnight for now."
