Adele vows she won't play any festivals

Hotly-tipped soul singer Adele has promised that she won't play any festivals this year because she hates them.

The 19-year-old Brit Award winner revealed that she wasn't keen on the summer events and that she wouldn't play even if she was flown in by helicopter.

She told the Daily Star: "I hate festivals. I’m not playing any as far as I know. Even if you helicoptered me in for the performance, I’d hate it."

Adele's debut album 19 is released on Monday.
