Adele has hired concert bosses to build her dozens of additional stages for her upcoming German residency.
The Grammy and Brit winner insisted she had to perform in front of audiences in every corner of the bespoke open-air arena held at the Munich trade fair in August.
However, the star can't travel there in a golf cart, so he plans to walk FIVE miles a night while playing his new summer shows in Germany.
The music superstar revealed that she will stroll around the stadium for ten nights singing various hits to keep crowds separate.
The London-born star wants to share the intimacy her 4,100-person Las Vegas shows created with the 80,000-strong audience in Munich.

Adele admits she lost all inhibitions and nerves at the live shows she's been doing for 15 years as her Vegas experience was “f***ing sweet”.
Adele opened up about the summer shows this weekend on stage at her Caesars Palace residency, where she also dropped plenty of bombs.
She also admitted that 11-year-old son Angelo dreams of becoming a Premier League player.
Adele revealed her plans for Europe as she boasted about doing more workouts on her days off.
Adele said of her return to Germany: “Vegas will forever hold a very special place in my heart.” I loved it.
“But I still want to be able to get in touch with the crowd (in Munich).” I thought to myself, build myself a stage in the crowd.
“And they said, 'Well, we can't get you there unless you walk on a stage.' I'm exaggerating a bit, of course, but I think I'll probably get a good four or five miles in a night hike.
“So I really need to increase my endurance.” That's why I train twice a day. I only trained to become an athlete because I have some shows in the summer and play ten nights in Munich…

“I'm very excited and it's a completely new show and it's such a big audience that I've done before and I always felt a little distant because I ask myself: How is it possible that there are a hundred thousand people here can be seen?” a person. That does not make sense.
“And it always felt so far away.” This show has made me absolutely no longer afraid to perform in any capacity. So I'm excited about this show.' And that's basically all I've done.'
As is well known, Adele canceled her first residency appearance on January 22nd – just hours before the premiere.
However, she overcame a “career low point” and found new confidence in her performances after suffering from severe stage fright.
“The security that this space gave me within myself and with my music has changed my life forever.” I'm so happy. Some people thought I would just keep extending it, but that's really the end.
“Every time I say that I get so emotional because honestly this has been the high point of my week for two years and from the way it started or didn't start, this was kind of one of the lowest points that I've never experienced it before.” As far as my career and things like that go, I've never experienced it…
“And I wasn't sure if it would be more bittersweet than just sweet.” And it was pretty darn sweet. So beautiful and I will really miss it…
“I love the routine it gives me.” I enjoyed getting to know you and for a long time I was very afraid, not just of the large crowd, but of the crowd in general, because I somehow touched the whole show …

“It's not completely normal, but it's also completely normal that it's not filming anymore. So I feel a lot more comfortable with it now.”
Adele dropped plenty of F-bombs as she reflected on the week with her audience.
She touched on son Angelo's career hopes, saying: “My son is on the school basketball team and their team won this week, which is very exciting.” They're 11 – what the hell are you laughing about?
“He’s British too.” He wants to be a football star. He doesn't want to be a basketball player.'
As the crowd reacted to the Premiership dream, Adele asked the crowd: 'Are we football fans here tonight? Tottenham Hotspur fans tonight?' But when they scoffed, she hit back: “Damn.”
“This really feels like a sports crowd.” I think I told you “f*** off” five times and only sang two songs. I'm from Tottenham. Do we have Man United fans? Have you ever been to Manchester?',
