British singer Adele has announced her intentions to go on a hiatus from music after her current concert residency in Munich. Expressing her decision in a German show, the singer stated that she doesn’t have any plans for new music at all.
The singer, who is currently performing her Weekends With Adele concert residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, expressed her intentions with the 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,” ” she said. Adele has been performing in Las Vegas since November 2022 and will conclude it on 23 November this year.
Talking about her hiatus, the singer added, “Even though it’s a very manageable size of the crowd, it’s really been an emotional exchange. I’m sure I’ll feel even more like [that] every night after the shows in Munich. But it’s a positive thing. It’s just such an exchange of energy.”
The Munich residency’s promoter Marek Lieberberg stated that 95% of the tickets have been sold. The stage setup will feature the largest screen used for a concert, standing 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 an English-style pub.

Adele said that 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 alike, with clips frequently going viral. 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.
