LONDON \u2013 Adele has announced her first tour since 2011, with a string of European dates in support of her record-breaking new album, \u201c25.\u201d<\/p>\n

The British singer announced Thursday that she will play venues in Britain and Europe starting Feb. 29 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Adele has previously said she finds touring lonely. But in a video on Facebook, the 27-year-old said she was \u201crelieved to finally tell you I am of course coming on tour and I can’t wait to see all of you there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album sold a record 2.4 million copies in its first four days in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. In Britain, it sold 737,000 copies in its first week.<\/p>\n

The first single, \u201cHello,\u201d is a hit on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

One reason for the astronomical sales may be that Adele declined to make her album available through music-streaming services including Apple Music and Spotify, forcing listeners to buy it either digitally and at stores.<\/p>\n

It can be heard via U.S.-based online radio company Pandora Music Inc., which announced this week that it was playing all the songs on \u201c25.\u201d Pandora is not an on-demand service, though, so listeners can’t choose which tracks they hear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
