Slovakian pop artist ADÉLA debuted a new song called 'Boys' during a well-received set at Reading Festival 2026, describing the track as being about being in a club with friends while getting attention from men. The performance also featured established songs such as 'Ain't In LA' and 'Sex On The Beat', and formed part of a broader run of festival appearances that NME highlighted among the weekend's standout moments.

During the set, ADÉLA spoke about her Slovakian background and her journey from a small town to performing on a major festival stage, and incorporated a ballet-inspired costume change into a performance of 'DeathByDevotion', nodding to her dance training. She also praised the crowd, noting that many attendees were marking the end of their GCSEs. The set included tracks such as 'KGB', 'FinallyApologizing', 'Go', 'Red Bottoms' and 'SUPERSCAR', and followed the release of her EP 'The Provocateur' last year; she has also been named one of NME's 100 Essential Emerging Artists for 2026.
