Stunning aerial snaps show Adele performing to 80,000 fans in her specially built £136million pop-up stadium in Munich – which sits next to an empty Allianz Arena

Incredible aerial shots show Adele performing in her amazing specially built pop-up stadium as she kicked off her 10 date Munich, Germany residency this weekend. 

The Grammy winning singer, 36, put on a magnificent performance as she took to the stage in front of 80,000 people on Friday and Saturday night.

The Hello songstress did not disappoint her adoring fans, who had travelled from all over the world to see her, as she made her way around each section of the open air bespoke stage. 

Over the course of 10 nights, Adele will perform to 800,000 fans in the temporary stadium which reportedly costs £102million to build and stands near the countries empty Allianz Arena which holds 75,000 people. 

In addition Adele’s mega 220m wide and 20m tall LED screen, which wraps around the stage, reportedly costs an additional £34million, according to Live Nation.

Adele previously revealed she would have to walk five miles a night while playing her new summer shows in Germany as the stage is so large.

Ahead of the shows, the music superstar revealed she worked out ‘twice a day’ so she would be fit to stroll around the stadium and sing different hits to separate crowd parts.

Speaking at her Las Vegas residency earlier this year about the August dates, she said: ‘I was like, build me a stage out in the crowd.

‘And they were like, “well, we can’t get you there unless you walk there on a stage.” I’m obviously exaggerating a little bit, but I think I’ll probably get a good four or five miles in a night walking.

‘So I really need to get my stamina up. So I’m working out twice a day. All I have been doing is that I’m training to be an athlete because I have some shows in the summer, I’m playing 10 nights in Munich…

‘I’m very excited and it’s a whole new show and it is such a big audience, which I’ve done before and always felt a little bit disassociated, coz I am like how is it possible there’s a hundred thousand people here to see one person. That doesn’t make any sense.

‘And it always felt so far away. This show has absolutely just made me not scared of performing in any capacity anymore. So I’m excited about this show.’ And so that’s really all I’ve been doing.’  

As she kicked off her long-award residency on Friday, Adele cryptically hinted at her reported engagement to fiancé Rich Paul.

The singer and the Klutch Sports Group founder, 42, who have been dating since 2021, secretly got engaged last month after he proposed in her hometown, Tottenham in North London.

The Someone Like You songstress made a cryptic comment about her ‘personal life’ as she performed her first night in the city.  

While on stage in her specially-made arena, Adele told the crowd: ‘What’s going on in my personal life? Nothing because I’ve been getting ready for this.’

Despite months of rumours Adele and Rich Paul were already married, it’s been claimed that the couple have in fact just got engaged. 

Reports emerged last week that basketball agent Rich quietly popped the question last week during a trip to Tottenham, London, The Sun claims. 

The location was said to be no coincidence, with Rich wanting to make his love known in Adele’s hometown, amid claims she is preparing to move back to the UK. 

Adele and Rich were rumoured to have tied the knot last year and reportedly confirmed the union at her best friend Alan Carr‘s comedy show in Los Angeles, with two audience members confirming the news to Deuxmoi.

An onlooker explained: ‘I was at Alan Carr’s comedy show in LA tonight and Adele was in the audience. Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently and Adele shouted ‘I did’.’

Another audience member added of the ‘small and intimate show: ‘When he asked if anyone got married recently she yelled ‘I did’. Super cute all around and was super sweet but dipped right before it ended.’

They added: ‘Adele was sitting right behind me with a friend having the best time. Her security only came in to bring her snacks.

‘She didn’t care if people knew she was there. She was heckling him – they’re best friends.’

Rich was then asked by CBS host Gayle King about the rumours he and Adele have tied the knot.

The journalist asked whether she should refer to Adele as ‘Mrs. Paul’ the next time she speaks to her.

Richard played coy, saying: ‘You can say whatever you want,’ before adding he is not the ‘type of person to put [his] personal life. It’s not for the media.’

Adele called Rich her husband during her Las Vegas concert in September, sparking speculation that the two had tied the knot.

The couple first went public with their relationship in July 2021 when they were seated courtside together at an NBA game.

The Grammy winner has been wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger for about a year.

In the past when asked about it, she commented that it wasn’t an engagement ring, she simply likes high end jewellery.  

Adele was previously married to entrepreneur Simon Konecki from 2018 to 2021. The pair share an 11 year old son, Angelo.

During her show on Friday, which was hit by some stumbling blocks after severe weather warnings were issued, the superstar was forced to pause the show due to a fashion faux pas that she desperately needed to sort while still on stage.

The singer wowed in a midnight blue floor length dress as she belted out her hits to the delight of adoring fans. 

The printed dress featured a huge train that billowed out to the side and across the floor and had been soaking up the water from the torrential rain during her performance, which caused Adele to momentarily stop the concert.

Addressing the crowd she said: ‘Sadly I have to take this gorgeous train off because it is wet and heavy’ before calling over to her backing singers ‘Girls can you help me?’

Making sure she continued to entertain the crowd she said: ‘At least it’s not thundering and lightening. Jesus!

‘I got a weather update and it said it wasn’t gonna be raining in time for the show, so I thought: “Let me wear this dress with this enormous train on it” like a right f***y. I was underneath the stage back there.’

As her backing singers got to work pulling the train away from the dress, Adele added: ‘I can hear you all by the way. You lot in the corner over here on this side, you’re a real vibe but then you had me shook cos one of you was like “We can see you under there” and I’m standing in my underwear!

‘Anyway I’m gonna go into another song for you, this dress is quite complicated.’

As her singers walked off to the side of the stage carrying the garment, Adele shouted after them: ‘Thanks girls – look at it dripping!’

Elsewhere during the show, the singer performed her hit Chasing Pavements for the first time in seven years. 

The star released the single as part of her debut studio album, 19 in 2008.
