At which Los Angeles landmark was the concert for 'Adele One Night Only' filmed?

The concert for “Adele One Night Only” was filmed at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. The landmark supplied the special’s sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills and formed the setting for its live performance section.

Adele recorded the concert before the special aired on CBS on 14 November 2021. She performed major songs including “Hello,” “Someone Like You,” “Rolling in the Deep,” and “Skyfall,” as well as then-unreleased material from 30 such as “I Drink Wine,” “Hold On,” and “Love Is a Game.”

The program was split between music and conversation. The concert was filmed at the observatory, while Adele’s interview with Oprah Winfrey was recorded separately at Winfrey’s home in Montecito, California. That distinction matters because the entire special was not filmed at one location.

Griffith Observatory is also a famous Los Angeles cultural and cinematic landmark. It opened in 1935 and became internationally recognizable after appearing in Rebel Without a Cause. Its hilltop setting made it a natural choice for a televised Adele performance built around the city skyline.
