Adele's eye-watering £100million Munich residency venue will be put to good use at the end of her month-long tour, which she rounds up this week.
The singer's purpose-built pop-up stadium will become the world's first portable stadium when she completes her European leg of her tour in Germany.
Inspired by ABBA Voyage's Arena in East London, Adele's, 36, venue will be used and transported all over the world.
An insider told The Sun: 'It would have been a catastrophic loss of money for an entire stadium to be built only for these ten Adele shows, even though the tickets aren’t cheap.
'But a load of different superstars, such as Beyonce or Taylor Swift, could use the venue in years to come. Obviously it’s been built around Adele, so the dream would be for her to use it in other places, but she is eager to have a break.

'It only took a few weeks to construct it, so it wouldn’t be hard to take it down and put it up again in an entirely different city.'
The concept behind the pop-up venue is to allow artists to remain on the road and keep moving around with their venue, with ease.
After her final shows in Munich, Adele is returning to Las Vegas to finish up her residency before taking a long break.
The cost of the venue could explain why fans had to splash out £350 on tickets to watch the singer perform.
Adele fans branded her stint of gigs in Munich this summer an 'absolute joke' after they paid up to £350 for tickets but had to stand on chairs to see the stage.
Concert-goers who splashed out to be closer to the Easy On Me singer in the seated pit of the Munich Messe arena, were not able to see her over people stood in front of them.
In a clip shared on TikTok, which has been viewed 1.5million times, fans are filmed getting up on chairs which, in turn, forces others to clamber on to their seats.
One disappointed fan wrote in the comments section: 'I paid £316 and I couldn't see anything. My friend was in the back for £60 and had the best view. I was fuming.'

Another added: 'Security was ordering people down so we were all level. It was an absolute joke. Paid all that money to barely see anything.'
The problem has been recurring since Adele started her month-long series of concerts at the 80,000-capacity venue in Munich last week. And many ticket holders have shared concerns online over whether their seats will be affected.
Some have been put off attending altogether, with one person posting: 'I am so happy I didn't buy tickets. So tempted but after all the bad stuff I've seen and the price of the ticket was crazy.'
Meanwhile, Nina Frenchy said attending the show in a wheelchair was the 'worst experience' of her life because large stones outside the stadium made it 'impossible' for her get to and from the concert.
She wrote on X: 'The organisation to get a taxi after the concert was horrible. They did not think of a way out for disabled people.
'I had to drive over big stones and narrow space full of people.' The Munich Messe arena was contacted for comment.
