Adele has announced an enormous UK and European tour, including numerous dates at the Manchester Arena and London's O2 arena.
The 27-year-old recently released her new album, 25 , which has already broken records for selling millions of copies worldwide.
The last time Adele toured was in 2011, to support her album 21 . This new announcement will likely add to the current rumours she will be headlining Glastonbury Festival.
Recently, the singer-songwriter wowed fans with a rendition of new single "Hello" on SNL, the raw microphone feed for which leaked online earlier this week.
Tickets for the show will be available from here on Friday 4 December.
