Adele Concert Arena


Adele performed ten concerts in front of around 80,000 fans in the purpose-built arena in Munich. A look behind the scenes shows the performance of the NUSSLI crew, who made a significant contribution to the construction of Adele World with event structures made from reusable system material.
Adele World, a temporary arena with around 80,000 seats, a huge stage and a theme park, was built for Adele's only European concerts in 2024. On behalf of Leutgeb Entertainment Group and Live Nation Germany, NUSSLI was responsible for part of this event infrastructure and planned the buildings on the basis of countless system construction elements, which were dismantled again after the ten mega-concerts and given a new task in another event building.


Arena of superlatives: 42,000 seats in record time
For the NUSSLI constructions alone, 250 lorries with system construction material, machines and cladding - mainly from Germany - rolled onto the site of the Riem trade fair in Munich. Eight grandstands with a total of 42,000 seats were erected in just five weeks, which corresponds to the capacity of a large football stadium. The NUSSLI project team also realised 18,000 m² of platform space in Adele World for the 25,000 or so chairs around the catwalk area, two side walls to the left and right of the main stage in XXL format measuring 108 m long and 17 m high. The 5 portals between the stands and the rear walls created a completely enclosed arena.


Team performance under extreme conditions
Up to 120 people were working for NUSSLI on the construction site during the installation - on some days in temperatures of up to 36 degrees and measured temperatures of over 80 degrees on the freshly laid black asphalt.
The realisation of the extensive constructions was a challenge, especially in terms of logistics and the weather conditions during construction. It was an experience for all of us to be involved in this concert project in a new dimension.
