AUSTRALIA really, really loves Adele. The British superstar has already sold more than 400,000 tickets for her first tour here and now has added a second Sydney concert.

The first show on March 10 has officially sold out with the Hello chartslayer returning to ANZ Stadium on March 11.

Tickets will go on sale from midday on December 1 via Ticketek.

The Australian concerts will be in-the-round, with this giant production for outdoor venues also going to London’s Wembley Stadium to finish the world tour in June.

Adele gave fans a shock earlier this week when she announced she was going to “have another baby” during a concert in Arizona.

“I’ll see you later. I’ll see you on the other side,” she told concertgoers.

“I’ll be back, and you won’t be able to get rid of me. I’m going to have another baby.”

But with concerts booked up until June, it is more likely she was sharing future plans rather than announcing she is pregnant.

Demand for tickets to her tour, which kicks off in Perth on February 28, exploded on Monday morning when they went on sale with seconds shows added quickly in Melbourne and Brisbane.

Fans who had missed out were then confronted by outrageously overpriced resale tickets on sites such as Viagogo.

The British entertainer has spoken out against ticket scalping and attempted to thwart opportunists in the US by offering paperless tickets.
