Adele will return to North America for her first tour in five years. The North American tour dates begin ‪on July 5th in St. Paul, MN at Xcel Energy Center and run through November 15th in Mexico City at Palacio de los Deportes. The tour will have multiple shows in most markets, including six nights at Staples Center in Los Angeles and six nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden 

These dates follow an already announced sold out tour of the U.K. and Europe.

Adele recently played her first full concert in over four years at New York’s famed Radio City Music Hall. This special ‘one night only’ performance was recorded for a TV special titled “Adele Live in New York City,” which aired last month on NBC.

Adele has performed in numerous charity concerts throughout her career. In 2011, Adele gave a free concert for Pride London, a registered charity who arranges LGBT events in London.

Most notably, Adele is a major contributor to charities in the music industry, but supports many other charities such as causes for children, people with disabilities and notably, Amnesty International. 

Adele released her third album 25 on November 20th and it went straight to #1 in over 100 countries around the world. In the U.S., Adele’s 25 is the only album to sell over three million copies in one week and the only album to sell over a million albums in two separate weeks. 25 is the #1 album in the U.S for three consecutive weeks since its release.
