“Hello from the other side.” Of the pond, that is.
That’s how Adele greeted her 24.3 million Twitter followers this morning as the singer announced her first North American tour in five years.
Back in late November, the singer revealed via a short video that she was “of course coming on tour” and going to the “U.K., Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland,” and the greater part of the European continent. But before the crack of dawn this morning, Adele gave her stateside fans an early Christmas present.
And of course…..
“And of course…” she tweeted at 4:01 a.m. with a heart-eyed smiley face emoji and link to the big news: her 23-city, 56-day tour of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, kicking off in July at St. Paul, Minnesota and closing off in Mexico City in November.
But the most exciting news of all: she’ll be bringing her highly anticipated tour to the Magic City for a two-night stand at American Airlines Arena on October 25 and 26, 2016.
2015 has definitely been a comeback year for Adele. After a three-year hiatus, the 27-year-old took the interwebs by storm in October with the release of her music video for “Hello,” which received 27.7 million views on YouTube within its first 24 hours, breaking the Vevo record for the most views in a day, beating Taylor Swift’s 20.1 million views for “Bad Blood.”

The song later debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, becoming the first song in the United States to sell at least 1 million downloads – 1.11 million, to be exact – in a week. Her third studio album, 25, finally dropped in late November, selling 3.38 million copies in its first week in the United States.
Sure, Adele may have gone MIA for some time, but as the numbers and her fandom prove, she’s still at the top of her game. Check out the full tour schedule below.
