On August 2, “Adele in Munich” concert kicked off at the Munich Exhibition Center. As the lift hidden in the circular stage slowly rose, the world famous British pop singer Adele appeared in front of her 80,000 fan. Thus, a series of Adele’s special concerts lasting one month and including a total of 10 concerts officially began. The super-large outdoor LED screen behind the circular stage set off the atmosphere of the concert to the extreme through carefully designed visual content. And the screen itself is currently recognized as the largest outdoor LED video wall in the world.
The LED video wall at the “Adele in Munich” concerts is currently the largest one in the world.
Report said this wave-shaped, super-large outdoor LED screen built in the temporary outdoor stadium is 220 meters long and 30 meters high, with a total area of 6,600 square meters. The screen is supplied by Solo Tech and made of ROE LED display panels.
Some reports also believe that the Adele Munich LED screen can be the world’s largest outdoor LED video wall. Of course, this statement has also attracted some controversy. Many netizens have expressed their dissatisfaction and recommended their own largest LED screens in the world. Next, let’s take a look at which LED screens are recognized by netizens as the world’s largest.

The world famous Sphere in Las Vegas, USA, has an extra huge spherical LED screen, named as Exosphere, on its facade with an area of 54,000 square meters, which is recognized as the largest LED screen, and meanwhile, the largest sphere LED display in the world.
However, the controversial point is that Exosphere is strictly a spherical LED screen, which is obviously different from the conventional LED video wall.
It is worth noting that the size of the 16Kx16K ultra-high-resolution inner spherical LED screen inside the Sphere is also as high as 14,800 square meters.
In addition, there is also an outdoor LED screen with a size of 89 x 104 meters on the outer wall of Resorts World in Las Vegas, with a total area of about 9,000 square meters. However, it is also regrettable that the outdoor LED screen uses Yaham LED’s mesh LED structure, which is still different from the traditional LED screen.

Some netizen also recommended that a giant LED screen with a size of 189 x 43 meters, which was used at the Soundstorm Music Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2023 should be the largest LED video wall in the world.
The screen reaches 8,100 square meters, which is also larger than the 6,600 square meters of the wavy LED screen used at Adele’s Munich concert.
However, the LED wall used in the Soundstorm Music Festival has obvious gaps between different LED display panels, and the LED panels are in different shapes and positions. It is not a continuous LED video wall like the one at the Adele’s Munich concerts.

The 10,500 square meter LED floor screen that appeared at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was also considered by netizens to be the largest LED screen in the world. At that time, it was also reported as the “world’s largest 8K HUD LED display”.

In fact, there is a big difference between an LED floor screen and an LED video wall. Therefore, the super-large LED floor screen recommended by netizens seems to have no substantial connection with the topic we are discussing today.
It is worth noting that the 2019 Beijing Asian Cultural Carnival also used an LED display with a total area of more than 10,000 square meters. But strictly speaking, it is also composed of multiple different types of LED screens, not a single continuous LED screen.
Frankly to say, the above mentioned cases of LED screens are actually quite different from the LED video wall at Adele’s Munich concert in terms of screen characteristics or screen continuity, and can be defined as the largest LED screens of different application scenarios. For example, we can call the Exospherel on the facade of the Sphere Entertainment Center in Las Vegas the world’s largest spherical LED screen, and the LED screen that appeared at the 2022 Beijing Olympics can be called the world’s largest LED floor screen.
Of course, the above definitions such as “the world’s largest outdoor LED video wall”, “the world’s largest spherical LED screen”, and “the world’s largest LED floor screen” are based on existing data we know, and will change over time and with the emergence of larger LED screens.
First, the correct size of the Adele Munich LED screen is 4159.7 square meters (not 6600 square meters mentioned in the beginning ), approximate 220*19 meters according to the latest report of avinteractive.com.
Second, the Guinness World Records officially recognized the Adele Munich LED scree as the largest continuous outdoor LED video wall around the world.
