Artist Spotlight: Adele

 

International sensation, Adele, graces The Pavilion's stage for the first time on Oct. 18. As the only amphitheater on her current tour, The Pavilion is honored to host her performance this fall.

 

Singer/songwriter Adele first toured as an opening act in 2006 with Jack Penate.  By the end of 2007, she was headlining her own shows after BBC Radio 1 began playing her single "Daydreamer." Soon Adele signed a recording contract with XL Recordings who issued her debut album, "19," titled after her age at the time of the release in early 2008.

 

In 2009, Adele won Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Her sophomore album, "21," was released in February 2011 and features the popular gospel and disco infused single "Rolling in the Deep."

 

Adele's current 2011 tour has sold out venues across the world. Don't miss your chance to see her live at The Pavilion Oct. 18. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. at The Pavilion Box Office, any Ticketmaster outlet and here. Check out the video below for a preview of what you might experience at her live performance.
