Will Adele tour again? Latest updates
The buzz around the tour (and that big break)
So, Adele just dropped a bombshell — she’s taking a long break after her Las Vegas shows end in November 2024. While that might mean we won’t see her on tour in the UK anytime soon, the minute she announces new dates, you can bet tickets will be gone in a flash.
If you’re hoping to catch her live when she’s back, it’s a good idea to stay on your toes. The buzz around her next tour in the UK and Europe will be huge, and being prepared is key to snagging those golden tickets.
Adele in Las Vegas and her emotional goodbye in Munich
Adele has been absolutely lighting up Las Vegas with her Weekends with Adele residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace since November 2022. With shows running through to November 23, 2024, she’s set to complete a whopping 100 performances, all of which have been total sell-outs. No surprise there — who wouldn’t want to experience that powerhouse voice live?
But it’s not just the Las Vegas shows that have fans talking.
Adele saying goodbye in Munich
While Adele’s been owning the Vegas stage, her recent farewell in Munich hit hard. Wrapping up a series of ten unforgettable shows at Munich Messe, Adele left fans with a heartfelt goodbye that showed just how much these past years have meant to her.
“I’m not the most comfortable performer, I know that, but I am very f*cking good at it,” she told the crowd in Germany, getting real about her relationship with performing.
Adele also admitted that this might be the longest run of shows she’ll ever do:
“I have really enjoyed performing for nearly three years now, which is the longest I’ve ever done and probably the longest I’ll ever do.”
Then, she dropped the news fans didn’t want to hear: she’s taking a break.
“After that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time... I will hold you dear in my heart for the whole length of my break, and I will fantasize about these shows, and any shows that I’ve done over the last three years.”
Adele opened up about how important these performances have been to her but also stressed that she needs to rest and focus on the new life she’s been building:
“I really, really hold them in the bottom of my heart forever. It’s been amazing. I just need a rest. I’ve spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now, I want to live my new life that I’ve been building. And I will miss you terribly.”
As she wraps up her Vegas shows, it’s clear Adele is ready for a much-deserved break. But when she does make her return, it’s going to be epic. Until then, we’ll be holding onto these memories just as tightly as she is.

Hunting for Adele tickets
Scoring tickets to see big stars like Adele or Rihanna in London is a challenge, but with the right strategies, you can increase your chances. Here are some insider tips to help you out:
- Sign up for fan clubs. Artists often offer pre-sale tickets to fan club members. Joining the fan clubs of your favorite artists can give you early access.
- Use verified ticket sellers. Stick to official ticketing platforms. They may release additional tickets closer to the event date.
- Set alarms for sale times. Be ready right when tickets go on sale. Seconds matter for popular concerts.
- Use multiple devices. If you're trying to buy tickets right when they go on sale, increase your chances by using multiple devices (such as a phone, laptop, tablet) while waiting in a queue.
- Check secondary marketplaces. Sites like StubHub or SeatGeek can be reliable for finding tickets but be prepared to pay more than face value.
- Follow venues and artists on social media. Sometimes, extra tickets or special offers are announced through these channels.
- Join pre-sales. Look for credit card pre-sales or promotions giving you early access to tickets.
- Be flexible with dates and locations. If an artist is playing multiple dates, the less popular ones might be easier to get tickets for.
- Connect with other fans. Getting involved in fan groups on social media can really help. Occasionally, fans might sell tickets at face value if they can’t attend.
- Check for last-minute drops. Sometimes, artists or venues release extra tickets just before the concert.
- Don’t rely on just one platform. Check several official ticket sellers to increase your chances of finding available seats.
- Consider travel packages: Some ticket vendors offer packages that include travel and accommodations, which might also have tickets bundled in.
