Furious Lana Del Rey fans have same complaint after singer brings tour to UK
Lana Del Rey is in the UK playing shows for her highly-anticipated tour. However, as the tour kicked off last night in Cardiff, many fans shared their disappointment Fans were bursting with excitement as singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey - who rarely performs in the UK - kicked off her UK and Ireland tour last night. The Born to Die singer, who headlined at Coachella last year, is performing in Glasgow tomorrow, Liverpool on Saturday, at Wembley Stadium in London on July 3 and 4, with tickets still available. She will also be performing in Dublin on June 30. Band London Grammar and singer Banks are supporting her on much of the tour. Plus, TikTok star turned recording artist, Addison Rae, will join her for the London shows. However, many were left confused by her performance at Cardiff's Principality Stadium last night (Tuesday, June 24). Following the highly-anticipated performance, they rushed to social media to share their thoughts. Many complained about the songs and length of her set list, while others noted her lateness, and some were unimpressed by the staging and "hologram performance". 'Very disappointing' One individual shared clips from the concert and asked: "Anyone else left the Lana Del Rey concert in Cardiff high key underwhelmed? The ticket cost way too much for how short her setlist was." Sharing their experience, one commented on the post and said: "Very disappointed indeed. £290 for two tickets to have her on for an hour ish... and 15 mins of that it was a hologram type video of her! Shocking." One other wrote: "100%. My fist time seeing her and it was meant to be the pinnacle of concerts for me and my partner. I felt underwhelmed and a bit dissatisfied. She is a ledge though so still think she's amazing." Another shared: "I saw her in a O2 academy in 2013 and it was one of the best concerts I've been to. Last night was so disappointing and 100% agree with you." Another viral video showed her performing and the concert goer said: "Lana Del Rey kicked her UK&Ireland Stadium Tour. Unfortunately she was not ready for a stadium tour and it became a disappointing concert.." 'No attention to detail' In another video, one individual said: "Lana came on at 8.53pm till 10.16pm. Snogged her husband. Sang Salvatore but read the lyrics from an iPhone!". Commenting on this post, one individual sarcastically wrote: "Our favourite part was when she performed three songs as a hologram in the window…" One other shared: "We paid nearly £500 for 2 tickets on the side 12 rows from front. Unfortunately the staging is not built for visibility, it's a box where you can only really see directly from the front and half the show she is way back in this box." They also noted: "The staging although atmospheric was just not visible. When you pay that much you expect to see. Also 3 songs not live just like watching a TV. The easing platform was a highlight but again saw all the mechanisms, no attention to detail." 'It was absolutely beautiful' However, there were many who enjoyed the show. One gushed: "I went, thought it was wonderful." Another supporter who had a great time added: "I don't know what you all saw but it was amazing. She was supposed to finish at 10 but kept the show going later because she was late on stage. "Her vocals were amazing and you all saying she wasn't good or it was disappointing are just sad she didn't sing Summertime Sadness 10 times." One other insisted the show was a "cinematic masterpiece". They added: "It is so rare for concerts to have a story for the show. The stage set was absolutely beautiful. She did perform most of her hits as well as some fan favourites." Another fan said: "I thought the stage was absolutely stunning I loved the house, lighting and use of green screen. I feel like not everyone understands what to expect at a Lana show. I found it super emotional and beautiful." And another agreed: "I also went last night and it was a dream come true for me, I don't know why everyone's being a negative Nancy."

Lana Del Rey Taps Addison Rae, BANKS and London Grammar for U.K. Stadium Tour
Lana Del Rey has unveiled the support acts for her much-anticipated U.K. and Ireland stadium tour — and she's bringing some surprising names along for the ride. Announced just one day before the tour kicks off in Cardiff, the news reveals that English indie-pop trio London Grammar, alt-pop favorite BANKS, and viral pop star Addison Rae will each join Del Rey for select dates across the run. More from Billboard Jay-Z Joins Beyoncé for 'Crazy in Love' & More in Surprise Duet in Paris Kristin Chenoweth to Perform National Anthem Before Game 7 of NBA Finals Billy Strings Shares Heartbreaking News of His Mom's Death at Kentucky Show The tour begins June 23 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, where London Grammar will open. BANKS will join Del Rey for three dates — June 26 in Glasgow, June 28 in Liverpool, and June 30 in Dublin. Rae, who recently topped charts with her debut album Addison, will open both of Del Rey's highly anticipated Wembley Stadium shows on July 3 and 4. The social media star-turned-pop artist Rae has rapidly gained traction since releasing Addison, with her Los Angeles hometown show attracting more than 100,000 fans in the ticketing queue for a venue that holds just 2,300 people. Del Rey announced the support lineup with a casual Instagram post reading, 'Lettttts go!' — and followed up with a birthday post celebrating her own upcoming performances. 'I'm so excited to see everybody starting tomorrow on tour and for all the folks joining us. Truly, thank you, thank you, love you,' she wrote. Originally teased as a tour in support of an album called Lasso, the project has since undergone several changes. In April, Del Rey revealed the album had been renamed The Right Person Will Stay and said it 'will not come on time.' Despite the delay, she has released two songs from the album and teased another during her performance at Stagecoach earlier this year. During her debut at the 2025 Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, Calif., on April 25, the 39-year-old singer revealed in her new song '57.5' that she once locked lips with a major country star. 'I kissed Morgan Wallen/ I guess kissing me kind of went to his head,' Del Rey sang. 'If you want my secret to success/ I suggest don't go ATVing with him when you're out west.'

Lana Del Rey announces UK stadium tour openers including Addison Rae, BANKS, and London Grammar
Lana Del Rey has unveiled the lineup of opening acts for her highly anticipated UK and Ireland stadium tour, set to take place this summer. The announcement, made on June 22 by Clash Music, confirms a mix of rising stars and established names supporting the singer across several major venues. British trio London Grammar will open for Lana Del Rey on June 23 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, bringing their signature atmospheric sound to kick off the tour. Singer-songwriter BANKS is scheduled to support Del Rey across three shows: Glasgow's Hampden Stadium on June 26, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium on June 28, and Dublin's Aviva Stadium on June 30, the only Irish stop on the tour. Pop newcomer Addison Rae will open Lana's two Wembley Stadium shows in London on July 3 and 4. Rae recently released her debut album Addison, and Lana has publicly expressed her support—sharing a clip of herself listening to Rae's music on social media. Coinciding with the tour announcement was Del Rey's birthday on June 21, which fans celebrated by dubbing her a 'Midsummer Queen.' With an eclectic mix of openers and massive venues on the schedule, Lana Del Rey's summer tour is shaping up to be a major highlight of the 2025 live music calendar.
