Elsewhere in the set, ADÉLA opened up about her Slovakian roots before singing ‘Ain’t In LA’. She said: “Reading, how you guys feeling? … This next song is a really special one to me.
It’s my most recent single. I don’t know if you guys know but I am originally from Slovakia.
Before ‘Sex On The Beat’, meanwhile, the musician praised the crowd, saying: “This is a lit ass crowd. I heard that this festival is a lot of people’s celebration after they finish their GCSEs.
That’s awesome, you guys. I can feel the energy. I feel like you guys are really happy. I hope you guys do really well. Thank you so much for having me here today, it’s been a pleasure.
