Adele has announced she intends to go on hiatus from music after a forthcoming concert residency in Munich.

The British singer told German broadcaster ZDF: “My tank is quite empty from being on stage every weekend in Las Vegas. I don’t have any plans for new music, at all.


“I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things just for a little while.”

Adele has been performing her Weekends With Adele concert residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas since November 2022, and will conclude it on 23 November.

Prior to the final Vegas shows, she is spending the summer in Munich where she will play two concerts a week for five weeks, in a purpose-built stadium.

The Munich residency’s promoter Marek Lieberberg has said 95% of the tickets have been sold. The stage setup will feature the largest screen used for a concert, at 220m long and 30m tall.

Speaking to ZDF, Adele said: “The screen is enormous … [it will] make 80,000 people feel like it’s just me and one of them.”

The concert site meanwhile is 400,000 sq m, and includes a 13,000 seater “Adele World” food hall complete with English-style pub.

Adele said she anticipated a less feverish response than the Las Vegas crowd, however. European fans, she said, “are a bit quieter, so maybe that’s because they’re more polite, whereas Americans can be very, very loud.”

Weekends With Adele has been acclaimed by audiences and critics, with clips frequently going viral thanks to her frank, empathetic interactions with fans.

She is staying in Germany before the Munich residency, and attended the Euro 2024 championship where she created another inadvertent viral moment. During England’s semi-final against the Netherlands, she admonished the Dutch crowd to “shut up” before Harry Kane’s successful penalty kick.

Adele’s most recent album is 30, released in November 2021. It topped the UK and US charts and became the biggest-selling album that year in the US after just one day on sale. The lead single Easy on Me also reached No 1 in both countries.

I can tell you for free that you can easily get burnt out with music. And Adele performs at a very high level. That's so much creativity deployed every week. She deserves that break.

With so many performances and concerts in a row, one is ought to get burnt out. Moreover, creative people can reach their saturation point. They need a break to rejuvenate and enjoy other things. You get a creative block at times and the rejuvenation can recharge you back and get your creative juices flowing again.
