Adele’s Las Vegas residency concludes: “I don’t know when I’m going to perform again”
The artist has been performing in Las Vegas since November 2022
by Emma Wilkes · NMEAdele has played the final show of her ‘Weekends With Adele’ Las Vegas residency and admitted that she doesn’t know when she’s next going to perform live.
The residency has been ongoing for the last two years and has been extended multiple times.
“i will miss it terribly. I will miss you terribly. I don’t know when I’m going to perform again. I’m not doing anything else, I’m actually shitting myself about what I’m actually going to do,” she tearfully admitted on stage. “I don’t have any fucking plans.”
The singer had previously revealed that she didn’t “have any plans for new music, at all” following her Weekends With Adele run. “I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while,” she said.
Elsewhere in the show, Adele nodded towards Taylor Swift soon finishing her own significant stretch of shows on the ‘Eras’ tour.
“Isn’t she finishing up soon? That’s been a long fucking tour. Girl needs some rest. She deserves her rest,” she said.

As the end of the residency drew nearer, Adele reaffirmed that she would be going on an extended hiatus from music.
“This really is the beginning of the end. There are no other fucking shows,” Adele told the audience (via Music News). “I’m not going to be like, ‘Surprise!’ This is the end.”
The star also told the crowd that her life was a “thousand times better” since her Vegas residency began and said she was “genuinely sad” for it to end (via RTÉ).
Adele also confirmed her engagement to Rich Paul live on stage in Munich earlier this year, and shared her plans to have another baby. She played a 10-date stint at the purpose-built 80,000-capacity Messe München arena in Germany, marking her first performances in mainland Europe since 2016.
Following the announcement of her haitus, ticket prices for her final concert began skyrocketing earlier this year.
Adele previously suggested that she would do a world tour when she next puts an album out.
““I just don’t think I’m gonna write an album for quite some time,” she told her audience in January. “But next time I do, I’ll come to wherever it is you live.”
