Conquering her fear of massive crowds, Adele announced last night at her O2 Arena gig that she will headline Glastonbury Festival this summer. Her current arena tour sold out the moment it went on sale so she’s been steadily prepping for this moment.
Speaking to the crowd last night, she said “I wanted to do it last year but my record wasn’t ready. And to the people who say I am too boring to headline, you’re more fucking boring for moaning about me headlining.” Well said. She joins Coldplay and Muse as a Pyramid Stage headliner. Many Glasto fans consider it a rock festival first and foremost so any headliners that deviate from that usually get bashed.

I mean like Coldplay and Muse are pretty much furniture at Glastonbury, but Adele, now thats pretty big.

This is definitely going to be an interesting sight. Glastonbury Festival goes down June 22-26.
