Adele played to 70,000 fans at Adelaide Oval, the largest ever attendance for a concert in South Australia and beating the venue attendance record set at the 1965 SANFL Grand Final.

The Australian tour ended in Melbourne on the weekend playing to over 75,000 people a night at two Etihad Stadium shows, the highest amount of people the venue has held.

Promoter Michael Coppel said the figures were mind-boggling.

”It’s the highest-selling tour I’ve ever been involved with, which is quite remarkable after working with Pink and U2 and Fleetwood Mac and Roger Waters,” he said.

Adele wheeled into concert in a box

Adele flew to New Zealand after her Melbourne show on Sunday night for three shows in Auckland which start today and ends with concerts on Saturday and Sunday.

The British singer has sold 130,000 for her three Auckland shows, which is 40,000 ahead of any other artist in the city.

Her tour for the album 25 ends with four hometown shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in June/July.

The singer stated on stage in Australia she has “zero” future touring plans.

“We may never see her again,” Coppel said. “Adele’s been quoted as saying she won’t tour again, she’s doing this big tour as a recognition of her huge record sales and the enormous demand to see her live. It’s impossible to tell what happens next. Then the future’s an open book.”

The final figure of revenue and ticket figures will be announced by US tour bible Billboard next month.

Footage from an Aussie band’s US tour shows the moment the lead singer dived into the crowd, leading to a fan’s “catastrophic spinal injury”.

The American singer has slammed the ‘crazy’ behaviour of some Aussie fans at her Melbourne concert.

She’s one of the most famous people on the planet – but you’d never guess it was her from these latest pictures.
