This is how successful the Adele concerts in Munich were

British superstar Adele thrilled over 730,000 fans at ten open-air concerts in Munich in August 2024. According to the organizers, the Adele shows from 2 to 31 August in the Pop-Up-Arena achieved the highest attendance of a concert residency outside of Las Vegas. According to Munich's economic advisor Clemens Baumgärtner, the residency generated “indirect profitability” of 540 million euros in the Bavarian capital.

Adele entertained the 73,000 spectators at each of her open-air concerts in the specially built stadium with a setlist of her greatest hits: after opening with “Hello”, she performed “Love in the Dark”, “All I Ask” and the James Bond-themed song “Skyfall” with orchestra - a total of 20 songs in the two and a quarter hours. At the end with “Rolling in the Deep”, fireworks lit up the night sky.

The singer performed exclusively in Munich on the European mainland. A tailor-made stage and an entire temporary stadium with grandstands were set up for the event in Messestadt Riem. The highlight: a 220 x 30 meter screen, the largest of its kind to date. In addition, a 93-meter-long catwalk ensured that Adele was very close to her fans during the concerts. Before and after the show, spectators were able to spend time in the Adele experience world with a Ferris wheel, carousel, entertainment, catering and a cover band.

Adele says thank you to Munich

Adele will continue her residency in Las Vegas until November 2024 and has announced a longer break after that. Musically, Adele has achieved practically everything: sold 100 million records, won 16 Grammys, an Oscar, a Golden Globe - and impressed Munich!

„Munich, thank you so much for welcoming me to your beautiful city. To the many people who helped organise 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. Love, Adele x.“
