After concluding her residency in Las Vegas with 50 sold-out shows, Adele chose to bring her music to the heart of Europe, announcing 10 unmissable dates in Munich—a decision that surprised and delighted both her European and international fans alike.

"So a few months ago, I got a call about a summer run of shows," Adele wrote on her social media. "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 not to follow up and indulge in this idea—a one-off, bespoke pop-up stadium designed around whatever show I want to put on? Oh!? Pretty much slap bang in the middle of Europe? In Munich? That’s a bit random, but still fabulous!"

Adele’s curiosity led to the creation of an extraordinary event, capable of hosting 80,000 fans each night, all ready to sing along to her most famous hits. With a total of around 800,000 attendees expected, Adele is set to surpass Coldplay’s record for the largest audience on a single European tour. This achievement, already incredible in itself, further underscores her extraordinary popularity and the impact she has had on contemporary music.

From her most recent tracks like “Hold On” from her latest album 30, to the hits that made her a global star, such as “Chasing Pavements” and “Make You Feel My Love,” the audience joined Adele on an emotional journey through her career.

The evening of May 9, one of the most anticipated, opened with the notes of “Hello” as a stunning Adele appeared at the center of a stage surrounded by an impressive LED screen. The ecstatic audience responded with thunderous applause, kicking off a night full of emotions, music, and plenty of laughter. Her voice, powerful and full of emotion, resonated throughout the Arena, transporting the spectators into a world of memories and hopes. Among the most touching moments of the evening was the announcement of her engagement, which brought the audience to a joyful uproar. As she performed "When We Were Young," Adele shared childhood memories, bringing a wave of nostalgia and sweetness. With her usual honesty and sense of humor, she also spoke about the darker periods of her life, moving fans who have always appreciated her authenticity.

But “Adele Live in Munich” is not just about the music and the magic created during the concert. From the moment you arrive at the München Messe, you can feel a vibrant and charged atmosphere of anticipation. The audience gathers before the show in the so-called “Adele’s World,” a space dedicated to beverages, food, and fan interaction. Here, in addition to enjoying excellent typical Munich fare, such as classic pretzels, you can sip on a regional craft beer, fully immersing yourself in the festive atmosphere that only a city like Munich can offer.

“Adele’s World” is more than just a meeting point; it’s a place where fans can connect, share stories, and reminisce about their favorite artist. Here, every Adele song becomes a collective anthem, and the lyrics take on an even deeper meaning. The emotion of singing “I wish nothing but the best for you” along with thousands of others is indescribable, a memory that will be etched in the hearts of those lucky enough to be there. But the magic doesn’t end with the concert. After the show, fans have the opportunity to participate in a karaoke night, where they can perform their favorite Adele songs and more, extending the festive and communal atmosphere that defines the entire experience. It’s a unique chance to close the evening on a high note, singing alongside other fans in a moment of pure joy and fun.

For those who attended, the 10 nights of “Adele Live in Munich” represent far more than just a concert; they are an experience that transcends music, an event that has solidified Adele as a true living legend. As Adele herself said, it’s an event “never this big,” and anyone who had the chance to experience it will carry an indelible memory with them. In this world crafted especially for Adele, every note, every word sung, every smile, and every shared tear become part of a collective story—a celebration of the music and the emotions it can evoke. “Adele Live in Munich” is not just a tour; it is a tribute to resilience, love, and the strength that music can provide. And as Adele sings in "Hold On": "Sometimes loneliness is the only rest we get," but on these nights, no one felt alone.
