Adele reschedules U.S. concerts, adds new tour dates

Just nine dates into her summer tour of North America, Adele was forced off the road by a bout of laryngitis. Now with her voice on the mend, the British singer-songwriter has rescheduled the 14 affected shows and added six new dates to boot.

Adele will attack her backlog of U.S. dates in two separate 10-city sprints. The first leg, in August, will run down the West Coast and will be comprised of mostly make-up dates. The second leg lands this October on the East Coast and in the South, and features the majority of the tour’s newer concerts.

The tours run August 9 at the Orpheum in Vancouver, BC, through August 24 at the Xcel Energy Center Theatre in St. Paul, MN, and then October 7 at the Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City, NJ, through October 21at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, TX.

Markets hosting new concert dates are Las Vegas, NV; Atlantic City, NJ; Durham, NC; Orlando, FL; Miami, FL; and The Woodlands, TX. Venues have also been upgraded in several other markets due to the rescheduling (see full itinerary below).

Some rescheduled Tickets will be honored at the door for most of the rescheduled dates, with some markets offering additional tickets for sale starting July 8. Public ticket sales for the recently added concerts open July 22.

Tickets will not be honored in San Diego, Atlanta or Austin. Instead, Ticketmaster is issuing refunds directly to customers and then offering early access to exclusive presales in those markets. Full details of the ticketing options for each tour stop are available on Adele’s official Web site.

Adele began her North American tour on May 12 with a performance at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. However, after less than two weeks, the singer’s vocal issues began, resulting in a string of postponements and then cancellations.

The 23-year-old phenomenon is touring in support of her sophomore album, “21,” released stateside in February of this year. Driven by the success of the single “Rolling in the Deep,” the album has topped dozens of international charts and enjoyed at least 10 non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200.
