Adele will say hello to Queenslanders at The Gabba next year in the first major live music concert at the venue in more than 40 years.

The English singer-songwriter is set to perform to Queensland fans for the first time on Saturday, March 4, 2017.

Adele has sold more than 100 million records globally, with hits including Hello and Rolling in the Deep.

Sport Minister Curtis Pitt said the Grammy winner's highly anticipated show would be the first major concert at The Gabba since Aussie band Sherbert in 1973.
