The global pop star wrapped ten nights in Germany
This August, the music world looked to Munich, where the groundbreaking Adele residency hit all the right notes and set multiple records. Over 730,000 fans worldwide came to see the unique artist as part of her series of ten open-air concerts. The concerts took place in the bespoke Arena at the Messe in Riem, which was tailor-made for her. More than two-thirds of the visitors celebrated before and after the performances in the adjacent, first-of-its-kind, Adele World with its diverse entertainment and catering offerings.
With over 730,000 tickets sold, the Adele shows registered the highest attendance of any concert residency outside Las Vegas.
“Munich, thanks so much for welcoming me to your beautiful city so warmly,” Adele shares. “To the many people who helped organize these events and let me put on the most spectacular show, thank you for taking the chance on me and letting me go out with a bang. I’m so grateful. Last but not least – to every single person who has made the enormous efforts to come to these shows, it truly means the world to me, thank you from the very very bottom of my heart. I’ll never forget it.”
The pop-up stadium in Munich with 73,000+ seats is the largest temporary arena ever built. The continuous LED wall measuring 4159.7 meters-squared was the largest of its kind to date. The Adele World with more than 500,000 visitors over 75,000 square meters was the first of its kind, with nothing comparable ever being built.
The Adele ten-night residency gave a spending boost of more than 540 million Euros to the Munich economy as the head of Munich’s economic department Clemens Baumgärtner confirmed.
The residency was critically acclaimed as a milestone in music history, attracting visitors worldwide and dominating the international headlines. The show featured brilliant sound and a Stufish-designed gigantic LED wall. It carried Adele’s charismatic performances right into the last corner of the arena.
The Bavarian metropolis with its diversity and infrastructure offered the best location for the Adele fest. The incredible collaboration between the artist and her team, the organizers, authorities, and visitors was the unique formula for success.
The arena, which was the brainchild of co-promoter Klaus Leutgeb, and the accompanying Adele World, were built within four months, only to be dismantled again immediately after the last concert. This was preceded by more than a year of planning.
During the final night, Adele announced that she’s taking an extended hiatus after the next batch of dates to her Weekends With Adele Vegas residency.
“But after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart,” a TikTok video reveals.
Weekends With Adele resumes on October 25th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and is set to wrap on November 23rd.
