‘Marathon' NDA Alpha Leaks Show Visual Improvements, Detail New Additions
Marathon I'm honestly a little surprised that we haven't seen more leaks out of the NDA-ed Marathon Alpha that's been running, but that's what the threat of legal action will do. It also signifies that maybe that's what Bungie should have done with the last Alpha, as originally planned, as we may have avoided that whole negative news cycle. This info is pulled from Twitter user @itsrocksiza, who says they have not signed an NDA themselves, but has access to information and (now deleted) images all the same somehow (a friend?). He says Bungie contacted him to delete the images, and while not legally required to do so, he did it to be nice. I did save them, but I'm not going to actually post them here for a similar reason. But I'll talk about what was shown. Marathon As I've always said, leaks aren't leaks when they're positive! I mean, not really, and you all should not break your NDAs, but here we are, and all of this sounds like improvements from the last public Alpha, and relatively quick changes being made/tested. This is obviously not everything. Bungie said there will be further tests before release, though what the mix of NDA-ed and invite-only and eventually public tests will be is not confirmed. Bungie has not given a new Marathon release date, but says it will this fall. It's likely to be before the end of the 2025 fiscal year which ends in March. We'll see just how many changes and additions Marathon can get before that release, and if they might change its fortunes.

I went to Lana Del Rey at Hampden. It was NOT worth the money
But let's get this out of the way. Lana's performance at Hampden Park was not it. Fans paid for tickets starting at around £120 to see Lana perform just 14 songs in a festival-length set. Of those, three were unreleased and two were covers. Lana performed only nine original, officially released songs – and treated us to a handful of hologram, pre-recorded versions of others. That means audiences paid around £13.30 per live song. READ MORE: Glasgow Lana Del Rey fans camp out for 27 hours at Hampden This is Lana's first UK stadium tour, and it should be an opportunity for a victory lap. She should have taken to the stage in Glasgow, a place she says is very special to her, and shown how much she's grown as an artist since living here in the early 10s. She should have demonstrated her superstar status, playing the hits, fan favourites and a sprinkle of deep cuts. Instead, audiences got a hastily thrown-together performance, featuring much of the same choreo and staging she's been using for years. There was no wow factor, no attention to detail, no passion. To make matters worse, the sound at Hampden was dreadful. In the standing area you could barely hear Lana's vocals, and good luck trying to decipher the speaking segments in between songs. Given Lana arrived into Glasgow two days early, you'd think she'd have time to iron out the details at soundcheck. The best part of the show was seeing the fans having an incredible time, singing along together and admiring their hero's dress, hair and makeup. While Lana's vocals were barely there, the sound of the full crowd singing along to Video Games, Born To Die and Ride was uplifting. If you treated the concert more like a mass-karaoke session than a live performance, it was a good time. READ MORE: 7 photos show Lana Del Rey arriving in Glasgow ahead of Hampden show I would also take a moment to shout out the stunning dancers and background singers, who brought some life to a dull set. Those women are incredible, and vocalists sent shivers down my spine. It was also a bit sneaky to call this a nearly sold-out show. Lana came nowhere near selling out Hampden, and that's down to her unusual staging. In reality, the stadium was half full. The stage was positioned lengthways along the side of the stadium, rather than at the goal-end as you might expect at a show like this. About half of the remaining standing area was taken up by the expensive golden circle section, which left us peasants who only shelled out £120 or so with no view of the stage. At least the camera work on the big screens was cinematic and ethereal. It's hard to be a Lana fan. She brings bad publicity onto herself by constantly arriving late (around 17 minutes late at Hampden), and promising projects that never materialise (remember the country album she was going to release last year?) But to Lana's credit, she spent around 25 minutes after last night's gig meeting fans at the front row, taking photographs and signing autographs. It's the least she could do after putting on such a lack-lustre show. Verdict: Two stars

Lana shared a short video with fans on social media and told them: "Glasgow, we're here - unbelievable". The short clip appears to have been taken from a plane as it shows the stunning Scottish landscape through the clouds. The 40-year-old singer also shared a snap showing her friends entering a lush, wooded area somewhere in the city. She added: "Don't go in toooo far". Fans have already flocked to social media to share their excitement ahead of the huge gig. One person said: "I'm going. Can't wait". Another added: "Lana, we love you". Lana Del Rey's Unexpected Nuptials (1) Someone else wrote: "Very excited!!" While a fourth shared: "Looking forward to seeing Lana at Hampden - it's gonna be amazing". And a fifth chimed in: "Can't wait!!" It is the first time Lana has performed in Scotland since her 2017 gig at the OVO Hydro. She was due to perform at the same venue in 2020, but was forced to axe her UK tour after losing her voice. Lana Del Rey exploded onto the music scene in 2011 with the viral success of her debut single, Video Games. The first half of her name was inspired by the Golden Age Hollywood actress Lana Turner. The second half - Del Rey - is taken from the Ford Del Rey sedan, a car that was popular in 1980s Brazil, although she originally spelt it Del Ray. She has released nine studio albums, earned eleven Grammy nominations, and headlined festivals all over the world. Lana is due to release a new country-inspired album, Lasso.
