- Adele's first concert in Munich
Fans from both home and abroad have been eagerly anticipating the show for months, and now it's finally here: British singer Adele will kick off her first of ten concerts in a pop-up stadium built especially for her in Munich this Friday (around 8:00 PM).
Approximately 74,000 people are expected to attend each show in the "Adele Arena," which is surrounded by "Adele World" - a mini-fairground featuring a pub, Ferris wheel, and carousel where guests can pass the time before and after the concert.
This is Adele's first European mainland performance since 2016, so it's no surprise that tickets for the concerts, taking place between August 2nd and 31st, sold out quickly, with some tickets priced at over 400 euros. However, there are still some tickets available for purchase, including "Lucky Dip" tickets for just 35 euros.
The organizers promise an unprecedented concert experience with exceptional sound quality on all seats. "It's like studio quality," said organizer Marek Lieberberg. The amphitheater-style arena ensures that all viewers are roughly the same distance from the massive stage, which extends into the audience with catwalks.
A giant screen serves as the backdrop: Adele will be visible on a screen that is 220 meters wide and 17 meters high. This is the second major musical event in Munich in just a few days, following Taylor Swift's performance at the Olympic Stadium last weekend.
The European Union's executive body, the European Commission, has expressed its delight at the cultural impact of Adele's concert series, citing it as a testament to the United Kingdom's strong artistic connections with the continent. Furthermore, some EU members, like Germany, have praised the economic boost, as estimated revenue from the concerts in Munich might reach up to 100 million euros.
