As a seasoned concert-goer with a penchant for extravagant performances, I must admit that the evening was a mixed bag. The meal beforehand, though not five-star luxury, did offer a unique charm of its own – mashed potatoes and ‘wild’ broccoli, reminiscent of home-cooked meals during my college days.


On the opening night of her ten-performance series in Munich, Adele was quite apprehensive. All through the event, she expressed this unease to the crowd using methods characteristic of Adele.

Backstage moments before the grand reveal, I share a sneak peek of me with curlers in my hair on the big screen, accompanied by a message that reads: “Can’t wait to see you all soon! I’m absolutely terrified!” followed by a winking emoticon. As the show unfolds, I can’t help but blurt out, “Oh boy, I am really nervous!” repeated throughout the performance, again with a mischievous grin as my emoticon of choice.

“At one point, she expresses astonishment about engaging in this activity for enjoyment,” she exclaims. “As the night unfolds, the frank performer frequently shares her emotional state with us. ‘I’m still quite anxious,’ she admits after performing Easy On Me for the fifth time, adding that she’s struggling to breathe and is genuinely terrified.”

She expresses gratitude for nearing the end, having found the experience incredibly stressful. After two grueling hours, she breaks down and weeps. Hearing this, I’m on the verge of tears as well. (Note: The offensive language has been replaced with asterisks.)

Instead of spending approximately £1,000 on my VIP ticket for this 135-minute show, I wasn’t anticipating having to endure Adele complaining about the hardships of stardom, describing it as a struggle and emphasizing her personal sacrifices for our entertainment.

It seems that her well-known emotional fragility and unique North London swagger are key factors in her appeal – her most devoted fans appear to relish each quivering lip and anxious gasp she displays. However, for others, it can become rather tiresome over time.

Yet, it’s Adele’s exceptional talent that transforms everything when she stops worrying and begins to sing. As soon as she unveils that stunning voice – filled with depth and emotion, all its might and poignant charm – she takes command. Beneath the starry sky of Munich, radiant in her elegant Dior dress and diamonds, Adele is truly awe-inspiring.

Through Songs Such as “Someone Like You” and “When We Were Young,” numerous compositions of hers showcase vocal complexity, emotional depth, and technical difficulty. Yet, she consistently delivers these demanding pieces, performance after performance. Somewhere within her complex mind, she must understand this. However, we find ourselves in the position of observing, time and again, as she releases her struggles before us.

“Every moment, I find myself gripped by an overpowering fear, not because I doubt my worth or my abilities, but simply because I carry such a profound affection for what I do. Yet, in spite of these apprehensions, I persist in pouring my heart and soul into my passion, for the love of it.”

Truly remarkable, Adele stands as an inspiration for us all. This year, she’ll be gracing a £100 million stadium specially constructed for her, nestled along the dreary outskirts of Munich, Bavaria’s capital. Over ten performances are scheduled at this venue, each accommodating an audience of 80,000 people nightly, concluding on August 31. These will be her only European concerts for the entire year.

As an ardent admirer, I’m thrilled to share that the tickets for this incredible event are just £157! But that’s not all, my friends. For this price, you’ll not only get to witness the legendary Adele herself, but also gain access to Adele World – a vibrant festival-like zone filled with entertainment!

Many indeed follow this trend, such as numerous women adorning long, black dresses with sophisticated hairstyles like sleek updos or loose, well-groomed curls, paying tribute to the classic Hollywood elegance personified by our queen. Adele had encouraged from the stage, “The more you drink, the better I perform, so go ahead and indulge yourselves,” and it wasn’t the first time she brought up drinking during Friday night.

As a devoted enthusiast and a proud Brit, I eagerly anticipate raising a glass on Sunday. Regrettably, I’ve yet to experience the vibrant atmosphere of Oktoberfest.

She mentioned that things would potentially become disorganized if she proceeded, she said. My expensive ticket covered dinner and beverages in an exclusive VIP space adjoining the auditorium, which essentially functioned as a large ballroom, draped in black with a black carpet, black tablecloths, golden palm trees, diamond embellishments, and a shimmering gold bar – ideal for the vampire’s wedding reception and a sparkly ex-WAG’s gathering.

Chef Christian Jurgens was overseeing things, and he shared with me that Adele had dropped by to inspect the place (he confirmed her approval), but it was noted that she hadn’t finalized the menu selection yet.

Serving between 900 to 1,300 guests every evening, he opted for quality ingredients and a straightforward approach, offering dishes such as prawn and lobster cocktail, beef fillet with mashed potatoes and wild broccoli, grilled seabass fillets, and a dessert of mango and chocolate. The main course was buffet-style, and the wine selection was lackluster.

Instead of finding top-shelf Deutz Champagne, you’ll only find an affordable Prosecco (retailing at around £9 per bottle) along with similarly priced red and white wines here. Those hoping for a five-star luxury experience with their four-figure investment would likely have been let down.

According to Oliver Kurt, an Adele enthusiast, the cost for their recent family vacation was around £5,000, leaving him with very little extra money after the trip with his wife and two daughters.

Still, we all loved the view from our moulded plastic seats in the second row of the auditorium, even if we did get drenched in a biblical downpour around 8pm.

15 minutes after Adele’s grand entrance enveloped by dry ice, she voiced her discomfort as the train on her Dior gown turned excessively wet and burdensome due to the damp stage. This caused her to remove it. However, there were no words of comfort for her legion of All Blacks fans, including me, who found ourselves completely soaked, even down to our bras, in the open-air stadium.

‘I feel like a right fanny,’ she said. She wasn’t the only one.

Indeed, it was a remarkable and moving performance! A grand orchestra, confetti explosions, dazzling special effects, and a breathtaking firework display brought the event to a thrilling climax.

She dislikes performing encores; once she’s finished, that’s it for her. And she stayed faithful to this sentiment, disappearing as mysteriously as a code at the close of the evening.

It’s unlikely that Adele will embark on a tour similar to Taylor Swift’s. In fact, she has no plans to learn choreography. During her shows, she’s known for moving freely around the stage, even in her house slippers, and she’s openly expressed frustration about the time it takes to navigate her large performance area.

She’s out of breath from just walking, she explained, as her hair dampened due to the humidity and her large diamond sparkled like a white flame on her ring finger. She’s both amazing and over-the-top, and I’ve always found myself torn between admiration and exasperation when it comes to Adele. Her music and voice are captivating, but I’d gladly shell out a thousand pounds to avoid listening to her chat incessantly during her performances, unfiltered as ever.

Apologies for a moment, but that tune made me need to release some gas from my diaphragm usage. In simpler terms, she let out a burp due to the song causing her to use her diaphragm.

In Adele World, that’s what passes for wit and charm.
