Adele extends Las Vegas residency

On Twitter, Adele wrote: “This performance space, these shows have changed my life. I love performing live, and I do. I need to reconnect with the songs and remember what they mean to me, and I have absolutely had that this time!”

“Being able to stand on stage all these years and be close to and share with my fans after all these years has been an incredibly restorative experience that I will never forget,” she added.

Adele also revealed that through her interactions with fans, through her expressions of laughter and tears, through her singing with all her heart…, she had a lot of joy, even though most of the songs she composed were often very sad.

“I felt and learned so much about myself and about other people. It was healing for everything I thought was so scary,” she concluded, adding: “It made me realize how much I really love being on stage, that I'm good at it, and that it's 100% where I belong.”

It has been a long journey for the singer. From stage fright in the early years of her career, Weekends With Adele was extended once in the middle of this year. Accordingly, when the first series of performances ended in March 2023, the Hello singer extended it for 34 more shows from June 16 to November 4 this year.

Anyone familiar with Caesars Palace—the iconic Las Vegas hotel that has hosted world-class stars like Céline Dion and Mariah Carey—knows how difficult it can be to get tickets to shows.

Fans can now register to buy tickets for the later leg on Ticketmaster from now until October 23 to prevent scalping. Randomly selected fans will receive a code that will allow them to purchase tickets on October 26, when they go on sale.

Over the years, Adele has revealed her plans after her regular performances end. According to The Sun , she shared in a Q&A with fans in 2022 after releasing the music video for her single I Drink Wine that she planned to study English literature instead of releasing a new album.

“If I hadn’t been successful at singing, I think I would have been a teacher,” Adele says. “I see myself using my passion for English to do what I do. Even though I can’t work with my degree, I always wish I had gone to university, to have the experiences I missed out on.”

In addition to studying, the “British nightingale” also added that she wants to pursue an acting career. She previously contacted director Elvis Baz Luhrmann – the man behind films such as The Great Gatsby, Elvis… and expressed her desire to work with him.

“I sent him a message and said, 'I wish I was in one of your movies, please don't retire early, let me do something,'” Adele humorously shared during a concert.

The final leg of the Weekends with Adele tour is scheduled to take place from November 2023 to June 2024. This time there will be 32 performances.
