Adele announces open-air summer shows in Europe

Adele has announced a string of open-air shows in Europe this summer.

The British superstar will take to the stage in a bespoke arena in Munich, Germany, for four nights in August.

She wrote on Instagram: “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”

The shows, at Munich Messe, will take place on August 2, 3, 9 and 10 and will feature a combination of seated grandstands and standing areas with capacity for 80,000 people per night.

They mark the first time Adele has played mainland Europe since 2016.

She last played in the UK in July 2022 at the British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park.

The singer is currently performing the last leg of her Las Vegas residency Weekends With Adele, which runs until mid-June.

Ticket registration is open now at Adele.com and closes on February 5.

Tickets go on general sale to the public on February 9.
