Upcoming Adele dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Who Adele is and why her tickets are scarce
Adele is the London-born pop and soul singer behind the albums 19 (2008), 21 (2011), 25 (2015) and 30 (2021). Her concerts are scarce by design: since her last conventional tour ended in 2017, she has performed mainly through fixed-location residencies and a handful of one-off stadium events rather than long tours. That scarcity is the single biggest factor in how her tickets behave.
Born Adele Laurie Blue Adkins in Tottenham on May 5, 1988, she has won 16 Grammy Awards, 12 Brit Awards and an Academy Award for "Skyfall." 21 is the best-selling album of the 21st century, with more than 31 million copies sold, and her total record sales exceed 120 million. In a July 2024 interview she said she planned an indefinite break from music after her residency ended, so any new dates should be checked against the live event list on this page.
What an Adele concert is like
An Adele show is built around the voice. The ballads ("Someone Like You," "Hello," "When We Were Young") carry the night, and the room tends to go quiet for them. Between songs she talks to the crowd at length, and that loose, funny banter is a large part of why fans describe her shows as personal even in a stadium.
Production has grown over time. Her Las Vegas residency began as a stripped-back concept and was redesigned with the stage firm Stufish to add an orchestra, pyrotechnics, a waterfall and other staged effects. Her Munich shows in 2024 used a curved LED screen about 220 meters wide that Guinness World Records verified as the largest temporary continuous outdoor LED screen. In large venues, the screens and the sound mix matter as much as distance from the stage.
Adele's tours and residencies, dated
Each run below is documented in the sources for this page. Current dates, if any, appear in the live event list.
- Adele Live 2016 (February 2016 to June 2017): 121 shows across Europe, North America and Oceania, mostly in arenas, including six nights at Madison Square Garden and eight at Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena). Stadium dates in Australia drew about 95,500 people per show in Sydney. She canceled the final two of six Wembley Stadium nights in 2017 on medical advice after a vocal injury.
- BST Hyde Park, London (July 1 and 2, 2022): two open-air shows with 130,000 tickets. More than 1.3 million people tried to buy, and the presale sold out in under an hour.
- Weekends with Adele, Las Vegas (November 2022 to November 2024): a residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace that reached 100 shows. The original January 2022 opening was postponed the day before it began.
- Adele in Munich (August 2024): ten shows at a temporary stadium built on the Messe München fairgrounds. Authorities approved about 74,000 people per show (some reports cite 80,000 capacity), and total attendance passed 730,000, with a themed fan zone called Adele World around the venue.
The pattern since 2022 is clear: rather than routing a tour through many cities, Adele sets up in one place and lets fans travel to her.
Where to sit for Adele
Because the show depends on vocals, sound and sightlines to the screens, the best seat is not always the closest one.
Residency theaters
The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is a theater far smaller than the arenas and stadiums Adele can fill, so almost every seat is reasonably close. Center orchestra (the main floor facing the stage) is the premium choice. Side sections are closer than they look on a map, but the extreme sides lose some of the staged effects. The upper tier is the value option and still feels intimate compared with an arena.
Arenas
- Lower bowl facing the stage: the best balance of sound, view and comfort for a ballad-heavy show.
- Floor: closest to her, but flat, so rear floor rows see mainly the screens over the crowd.
- Upper level center: the value tier; for a vocal show, an upper seat with a clean view of the stage beats a low corner seat.
Stadiums and purpose-built venues
At stadium scale, aim for seats in front of the stage and near the center line, where the sound is mixed. Very wide side angles can reduce the screen to a sliver. Plan for long entry and exit lines at temporary or open-air sites, and arrive early.
How demand for Adele tickets behaves
Adele dates are some of the hardest tickets in live music to get at face value, for structural reasons:
- Scarcity. Few dates in few places means one on-sale window carries an entire run.
- Registration-based sales. Her residency used a verified-fan registration (fans sign up in advance and are selected for access codes). When the Las Vegas dates were rescheduled, holders of original tickets and waitlisted registrants were given priority.
- Travel demand. Residencies draw buyers from around the world, so weekend shows and holiday periods tend to move first.
- Late movement. Resale prices can sit above or below face value and often shift in the final days as travelers confirm or release plans.
If you are traveling for a residency date, buy the ticket before the flight and hotel. GoodSeats orders are backed by a 100% guarantee. For announcements, see Adele's official site.
