It’s about time that Republican politicians and candidates stick to a select (almost non-existent) number of conservative musicians when making selections for their rally music. Whether it’s Bruce Springsteen shutting down republications for playing his patriot hits, or whether it’s the Dropkick Murphys telling Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker “we literally hate you”, time and time again Republicans look silly for using music from (often liberal) big name musicians without their permission. This time it is Donald Trump under fire, as the Republican candidate for President used a couple of Adele records (‘Rolling in the Deep’ and ‘Skyfall’), and now Adele is speaking out.

As reported by Entertainment Weekly, a spokesperson for the ‘Here’ single released an official statement noting “Adele has not given permission for her music to be used” by Trump, or for any political campaign. So while Adele isn’t going to be joining the stage with Vampire Weekend and Bernie Sanders any time soon, she definitely hasn’t endorsed Donald Trump. And trust us, she definitely doesn’t need his free publicity either.

Say hello and then goodbye to all those memes and complaints about Adele not touring! Kicking off in the summer of next year, Adele is going on a huge North American tour in support of her new album 25. Starting on July 5th in the Twin Cities, Adele will hit a number of stops (with multiple dates in many cities) until the tour finally concludes on November 15th in Mexico. Whether you live in Chicago,  Los Angeles, New York, Canada, wherever, there is a good chance that Adele is coming to a city near you. And don’t quote us, but you may even see Adele at a festival or two. For example, there is a good chance Adele could make an appearance at Summerfest in Milwaukee, the world’s biggest music festival, as there is an overlap between Summerfest’s schedule and her open dates when Adele is coming to Minnesota and Chicago.

No matter which city you catch the ‘Hello’ singer in, Adele is sure to do huge numbers and give one hell of a performance. Adele recently shattered records with her most recent LP, so don’t be surprised if her North American tour does the same. Tickets go on sale Thursday at Ticketmaster.com.
