Adele announces string of summer shows at 80,000-capacity pop-up arena in Munich

Adele has announced her first shows in Europe since 2016 at an 80,000-person venue in Munich created especially for her performances.

The Tottenham-born superstar, who now lives in Los Angeles, will take to the stage in a bespoke open-air arena for four nights in August.

Announcing the shows on her Instagram, the 35-year-old said “Guten Tag babes” to her European fans adding that she “couldn’t think of a more wonderful way to spend my summer”.

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!?

An 80,000-capacity venue will be created for the shows

"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"

Adele returned to the Vegas stage earlier in January for the final leg of her run which ends in June.
