TradeEdge Exchange:Adele announces 'fabulous' summer shows in Munich, first Europe concert since 2016

Adele is TradeEdge Exchangeready to say "hello" to Germany.

The "Easy on Me" singer on Wednesday announced a series of four shows in Munich this August, which will mark the first time she has played in mainland Europe since 2016.

Adele's performances will take place at Munich Messe in an "open-air environment that has been exclusively created for these special shows," according to the announcement. "The bespoke arena will feature a combination of seated grandstands and standing areas with capacity for 80,000 people per night."

The shows are set for Aug. 2, Aug. 3, Aug. 9 and Aug. 10.

On Instagram, Adele said she received a call a few months ago about a summer run of shows and was "too curious" not to pursue the idea.

"A one off, bespoke pop-up stadium designed around whatever show I want to put on?" she wrote. "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!!"

Since November 2022, Adele has been performing a residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which is scheduled to end in June 2024. The singer most recently extended her "Weekends with Adele" residency in October 2023, saying at the time that the Vegas shows have "changed my life." She initially postponed them at the last minute in January 2022, citing COVID-19 delays.

"I desperately needed to fall back in love with performing live again, and I have," Adele posted on X, formerly Twitter, in October. "I needed to reconnect with my songs and remember what they mean to me, and I have! Being on stage over the last year so up close and personal with an audience again after all these years has been a truly extraordinary restorative experience that I'll never forget."
