Watch Adele Debut ’25’ Songs at Intimate Pre-Grammy Concert

Singer performs "I Miss You" for first time, gets "Hello" serenade from audience at Los Angeles' Wiltern

With Adele set to perform on the Grammys on February 15th ”“ and with her 25 tour beginning in just over two weeks ”“ the singer staged a warm-up show Friday for 2,000 lucky fans at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre. The pre-Grammy tune-up featured the live debut of 25‘s “I Miss You,” as well as the second-ever performances of “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” and “All I Ask.” Adele also filmed the audience serenading her with “Hello” and used concertgoers’ phones to take selfies before the evening’s final song, “Rolling in the Deep.”

 

Adele’s sold-out trek found the singer engaging in a battle against the secondary ticket market, and during the Wiltern concert, Adele remarked that she again fought to keep ticket prices for Friday’s gig at $50; in an effort to prevent scalping, attendees were forced to pick up their tickets at the Wiltern box office.

“Sorry if it was a pain in the ass getting the tickets,” Adele told the audience (via Billboard). “Did any of you pay more than $50 for any of these tickets? They were all saying ‘Oh let’s do $150 a ticket, oh yeah! So and so said that”¦’ I said $50.” Adele then admitted she would have charged even less but “my recordis paying for this.”Adele also said that the evening’s 15-song set list and bare-bones stage design was crafted strictly for the Wiltern performance and doesn’t signal what she has planned when her 25 tour kicks off February 29th in Belfast.
