Adele has announced that she will headline this year's Glastonbury Festival in the UK, NME reports. The star broke the news onstage at London's O2 Arena tonight, saying, "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."

Last October, Adele reportedly said, "I think I have made myself pretty clear on Glastonbury. The crowds are too big -- I don't know if I could do it." But I guess she changed her mind!

Adele will be playing the festival's Pyramid Stage on Saturday night. Previously announced headliners Coldplay and Muse will be taking the stage on Sunday and Friday night, respectively.
