Fan-taken videos circulating on X (formerly Twitter) show Adele hilariously trying to operate a massive, rotating T-shirt cannon. She did so quite successfully — until the cannon appeared to malfunction, at which point she asked staff to throw shirts to the crowd. A woman of the people.
Adele announced these Munich shows in January.
“So a few months ago I got a call about a summer run of shows,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “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.”
The all-world singer continued, “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!? 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.”
On Saturday, August 3, Adele paused her concert to repurpose her screens to show the women’s 100 meter final from the 2024 Paris Olympics in real time. The Munich Messe was “exclusively created for these special shows,” as per press release (and Variety ), so Adele can do whatever she wants with it.
Adele’s remaining Munich dates are August 9, 10, 14, 16, 23, 24, 30, and 31.
