Great news, Adele fans: She's going on tour!

...but not so great news for Adele fans in the United States: If you want to see her perform live, you'll have to fly to Europe. For now, at least.

The 27-year-old singer recently made a music comeback with her album 25 and hit single "Hello." She announced a new European tour via a funny video posted on Facebook on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, while 36 tour dates were posted on her website. The concert series, her first in more than four years, is set to begin in Northern Ireland on Feb. 29, 2016.

Many U.S. fans took to Twitter to voice their discontent at the United States not being included in the tour.

In her video, Adele appears in several takes, utters an expletive and speaks in front of a map of Europe. She also quotes a line from her hit single.

"Hello, it's me," she says. "I have been bluffing this whole time and I'm so relieved to finally tell you that I am, of course, coming on tour and I can't wait to see all of you there, so see you all very, very soon!"

She also uses a Harry Potter wand as a marker.

"It's hard work being Harry Potter!" she says, giggling.
