“New Year’s Eve has always been a let down for me. I seem to always end up spending it in a car on my way to our from somewhere! But not this year!! I’ll Be ringing 2023 in on stage!!” Adele posted Sunday morning. “I dress up to the nines on NYE and I would love it if those of you that come would too! Let’s go all out black tie vibes.”

Celeb stylist Jamie Mizrahi actually mentioned the New Year’s Eve performance, during an interview with the Wall Street Journal posted Saturday morning. In describing his vision for Adele’s stage attire, he commented, “We’re open to embellishment and accents of color, but everything will be a black gown to the floor, except special shows, like New Year’s Eve.”
The added shows mean Adele is scheduled every weekend at the Colosseum through March 24-25, aside from the first two weekends of January.
The 34-year-old superstar’s opening weekend was roundly applauded, inside the sold-out theater and through her earliest reviews. “Easy On Me,” “I Drink Wind,” “Someone Like You” and “Rolling in the Deep” are on the 22-song set list.
The show incorporates staggering video work and water-and-fire effect in “Set Fire to the Rain.” Two dozen string players, several from Las Vegas, add local color to the scene.
