Lana Del Rey fans all have same complaint after singer's tour starts in Cardiff
Lana Del Rey fans all have same complaint after singer's tour starts in Cardiff Fans took to social media after the highly-anticipated concert Lana Del Rey kicked off her UK and Ireland stadium tour in Cardiff last night (Image: Getty Images for ABA ) Last night popular American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey opened her UK and Ireland tour in Cardiff's Principality Stadium. However, her confusing performance has left fans divided, with many feeling the set was too short and not fit for a stadium, whilst others praised the "magical show". The artist, known for hits like Summertime Sadness, Born to Die, Video Games and Young and Beautiful, was playing in Wales for the first time, with her UK appearances known for being few and far between. Tickets are still available for the rest of the UK tour on Ticketmaster. Lana Del Rey will be performing in Scotland, Liverpool and Dublin before the tour comes to a close under the Wembley arches on July 4. Curiosity had gripped fans in the lead-up to the concert with some suggesting she might not even appear. They were however reassured after catching a glimpse of the American the night before whilst leaving rehearsals. Lana greeted fans as they sang her a belated Happy Birthday, days after she turned 40. In the end, her highly-anticipated show seems to have fallen just short of some fans expectations. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . Many complained about her arriving late, just before 9pm, although this is a common tale. Lana's Glastonbury performance two years ago saw organisers cut her mic after she turned up half an hour late, telling festival-goers she was busy getting her hair done. Others seemed disappointed by the length of the concert, claiming the one hour and 20 minute-long show was disappointing for a stadium gig. Music fans have become accustomed to the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé performing for over three hours. This was somewhat made worse when multiple songs were performed by a hologram, as the Summertime Sadness singer waited in the wings. The American arrived on stage visibly emotional at the 70,000-strong Cardiff crowd, needing an emergency hug and kiss with husband Jeremy Dufrene after performing opener, Stars Fell on Alabama. One fan wrote on X: "Lana Del Rey that Cardiff concert was SO crap. 1h20min concert with Lana hiding behind the stage for 20 min while playback plays." Dylan said on X: "Lana Del Rey's Cardiff show wasn't even 90 minutes and she was late? Abysmal."

Here's why ... Terrible setlist, this was a stadium concert, not a country rodeo show. She spent so much time off-stage, behind the scenes. It made the show chaotic. "She/her production was so late, they definitely cut the setlist for the curfew. Stadium concerts are 2-2.5 hours long, this was 90 minutes short. Two of the songs NFR and Arcada were video Lana and studio vocals, it was disappointing. The sound production was horrible." They added: "She was very nice but this couldn't save her concert." Someone else posted a video on TikTok and wrote: "Anyone else left the Lana Del Rey concert in Cardiff high key underwhelmed?" There was however a lot of praise for the popular singer. One person on TikTok said: "This entire performances was sensational." Another added: "LANA DEL REY IN CARDIFF WAS SO AMAZING YESTERDAY. I'm so tired I had 0 sleep the night before and queued up with my sisters from 6:30am." Another fan offered their support: "Tbf we shouldn't think that 2.5-3.5 hour concerts should be the norm. Bey and Tay were amazing for doing that, but it's not necessarily normal." "Cracking solo date to Lana Del Rey in Cardiff. Mega good," one fan posted. Article continues below Lana Del Rey now takes her tour to Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin and London. She will be supported by Banks in Glasgow, Liverpool and Dublin, before Addison Rae opens at Wembley. Tickets are still available for the rest of the tour, on Ticketmaster.
