"What do you think of my screen?" Adele asked the audience at one point during the concert, as though she had just picked it up at a shopping mall, according to the music and entertainment magazine Billboard.
The LED panels were supplied entirely from a single batch to ensure precise visual quality and have captivated over 730,000 fans across ten open-air concerts since August 2024.

The curved LED wall, spanning 244 meters—approximately the length of two American football fields—and covered with 4,625 square meters of ROE Carbon 5 Mark II (CB5 MKII), has earned the new Guinness World Records title for the Largest Continuous Outdoor LED Screen (temporary).
"While Adele is no stranger to holding multiple records for her music, this achievement stands apart. I was intrigued to see how such an expansive and seamless screen would be utilized during the concert. The bespoke visual effects, tailored to each song, truly elevated the performance," said Joanne Brent, the official adjudicator for Guinness World Records, according to a statement issued by ROE Visual.

The installation, comprising 250 tons of LED panels, lighting, and rigging, was a collaboration between Solotech, a leading audiovisual and entertainment technology company, and several partners, including ROE Visual, Brompton Technology, Disguise, Twenty-Three, and AV Stumpfl. Together, they worked to bring the stage to life.
"This Munich residency is unlike anything that has ever been done before. There was no template, no comparison - only possibilities.
