Lana’s tour had a unique stage design, inspired by a Southern Gothic house incorporating multiple levels, windows, a porch swing, flickering porch lights, and holograms. The set transformed throughout her performance with flowers growing on the structure and flames erupting from the house. The lighting and visual elements were rooted in her past albums and helped to enhance the mood and atmosphere.

While the stage design was elaborate, Lana herself had a minimalistic approach to her stage presence and relied heavily on the focus of her powerful and incredible vocals. She engaged with her fans, thanking them for their loyalty, as well as acknowledging a fan letter someone wrote for Lana that she then posted on Instagram.   

Lana Del Ray’s set list included songs from a mix of albums such as ‘Ultraviolence‘, ‘Video Games’, ‘Young and Beautiful’, ‘Summertime Sadness’, ‘Born to Die’, ‘Ride’, and ‘Henry, come on’, her newest song released in April along with ‘Bluebird‘. The singer also covered John Denver’s song ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’.

Throughout her UK and Ireland tour, Lana has three different openers including London Grammar, BANKS, and Addison Rae. During the London performances at Wembley Stadium, her opener, Addison, joined Lana on stage both nights to sing her song ‘Diet Pepsi’ together.

Lana Del Ray is set to have an upcoming album that was originally set to release in May, however, she changed the title to ‘The Right Person Will Stay’ with an upcoming release date not announced yet. Her lead single on the album, ‘Henry, come on‘, is on the Global Spotify Charts with over 3 million streams. Lana is headlining the Hinterland Music Festival in Iowa, US, on August 3 alongside artists The Maríes, Gigi Perez, Role Model, Kacey Musgraves, and Tyler The Creator. 

If successful with their filing, Festival Republic would host a new three-day event in Luton’s Stockwood Park. The proposed dates for the new event would fall on the spring bank holiday, Saturday, May 25th to Monday, May 27th. As well as performances, Benn’s application has been reported to propose “a funfair and sponsor activations”. Mirroring the format of the company’s other festivals, the proposed event will likely include the all the bells and whistles associated with their mainline stage shows.

Although Luton Council has already discussed this application, their decision has not yet been made public. For many, festivals can be seen as great economic boost to an area, especially if the event does not provide camping facilities. Large numbers of festivalgoers need accommodation and food which can be provided by local businesses after the day’s shows have come to a close. However, this benefit can often come at the cost of residents, as noise levels will be elevated by both the event itself and by its sometimes-rowdy participants. It doesn’t seem likely that the proposed festival will be a camping affair as the documentation filed does not imply nor mention overnight accommodation.

Other factors to be considered in the council’s decision are the effects that a large-scale event, like this one, would have on Luton’s public transport infrastructure. This is especially relevant, as Stockwood Park is only 1.5 miles from the town’s centre. Either way, the final decision from Luton Council will likely be announced within the week.

This year is looking promising for Festival Republic, as Finsbury Park’s Wireless is set to announce its 2024 line up next week, and Reading/Leeds has already teased the first ten acts for this year’s extravaganza. Among those performing at Reading’s and Leeds’ 2024 incarnation, are DJ and producer Fred Again.., Lana Del Rey, and Liam Gallagher.

Update: As of January 22nd, Luton Council said that Melvin Benn’s “application was granted with minor amendments“. Due to residents’ concerns of increased noise, congestion, and anti-social behaviour, Luton Council has arranged for noise to be monitored during the event as well as a noise hotline that would allow locals to complain about disruption in residential areas.

Among the list of announced acts are; Lewis Capaldi, Lana Del Ray, Chvrches, Lizzo, Kelis, Aitch, Christine and the Queens, Raye, Rudimental, Stefflon Don, Alison Goldfrapp, Mahalia, Rina Sawayama, FLO, Royal Blood and many more. Lil Nas X will return to the Glastonbury stage to perform before Elton Johns performance. Lana Del Ray will perform on the other stage. She performed in 2014 at Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage. Lizzo will perform before american rock band, Guns N’ Roses, take to the stage.

The announcement is expected to produce a controversial reaction from fans, due to the all-male headliners. 52% of the 54 artists announced so far are male. Co-organiser of the Glastonbury Festival, Emily Eavis, confirmed that Guns N’Roses were booked as headliners after a female artist, whose name has not been revealed, “changed her touring plans.” Eavis explained that she hopes the artist will headline within the next five years. Many fans had hopes for Taylor Swift to headline in 2023, however her ‘The Era’s Tour’ will be taking place in the US during this years festival. The singer was announced as a headliner for the 2020 Glastonbury Festival but the event was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Eavis confirmed her hopes for next years Glastonbury, explaining we could expect two female first-time headliners for the 2024 festival. One act has reportedly been confirmed, whereas another is still in the process of being confirmed. Madonna and Rihanna are among the most highly anticipated acts to headline the festival, as both have never performed at Glastonbury.

The festival made the news headlines last year, as it was announced ticket prices were increasing significantly. Emily Eavis commented on the situation, “We put it up the minimum we could. In order to do the exact same show as last time, we would have had to put £100 on the ticket. That’s the amount that costs have gone up.” The tickets for the 2023 Glastonbury festival went on sale in November and are currently sold out. There will be a resale of any returned or cancelled tickets in April, with a set date yet to be announced.

Currently closely behind Sir John’s 32nd studio album is Future Past by Duran Duran, the 80’s hitmakers released their new album on 22nd October 2021. It is their first album to be released via music conglomerate BMG and their first release in six years. The group’s new album could potentially be their highest charting release in 38 years. The band’s only number one album Seven And The Ragged Tiger reached number one within 1983.

American songstress Lana Del Rey is currently third to the number one spot. The singer’s eighth album entitled Blue Banisters was released on 22nd October 2021 via Interscope and Polydor. The album was sired two singles, the title single “Blue Banisters” was released on 20th May 2021 and “Arcadia” dropped on 8th September 2021. The “Video Games” singer has achieved five number one albums within the UK charts, her latest being Chemtrails Over The Country Club.

Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro round off the top four with their new album The Myth Of The Happily Ever After. The album was released on 22nd October via 14th Floor and Warner and has sired three singles. The group started work on their ninth studio album last year and announced that they were working on new material in August 2020. The band have accumulated three number one albums throughout their long career. Their last album A Celebration Of Endings was released on 14th August 2020 and became their third number one album.

Elsewhere within the charts, new releases are set to possibly rival the top four. The 40th-anniversary rerelease of Tattoo You by The Rolling Stones was released on 24th October and was available in many special edition formats. Also Included within the new releases is Top Of The World by prog-metal band Dream Theatre. The virtuoso group released their fifteenth studio album on 22nd October 2021, the release marks their first album to be recorded at their music studio.

The news came loose after those who have tickets for Del Rey’s shows received an email confirming the cancellation of the tour. In the email also includes a statement from the singer herself, which reads: “Sorry to let everyone down so last minute but this illness has taken me by surprise and have totally lost my singing voice. Dr has advised 4 weeks off for the moment. I hate to let everyone down but I need to get well. Love Lana.”

Elsewhere, the “Mariners Apartment Complex” singer is scheduled to appear next at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona on June 5. And she will return to the UK again for Glastonbury this summer. Let’s hope that the singer is fully recovered to deliver amazing performance for us.

It must have been quite a bad luck for her lately. Earlier, the “Summertime Sadness” had planned to drop a spoken album in January, but it was then delayed due to the theft of her sister Chuck Grant’s art. Also, Norman Fucking Rockwell! lost to Billie Eilish’s WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? for Album of the Year at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.

On the bright side, she promised to release a surprise album titled White Hot Forever sometime this year. And for what’s it worth to mourn the lost chance to see Del Rey live and to hope for her return, here is the perfect track to cry to:

The news about the “Summertime Sadness” singer’s performance was initially delivered by Eavis at the recent NME Awards 2020 (February 12) at O2 Academy Brixton. “I’m very pleased to tell you that we have the most incredible Lana Del Rey. I believe it’s her only UK festival which is even better,” boasted Eavis about the upcoming gig of Del Rey at Glastonbury.

She added, “She’s nearly played a few times actually, and for one reason or another it hasn’t happened, and she was one of our very first confirmations for this year. It’s amazing, one of the best records of last year and for me a real coup getting her. She’s playing the pyramid on Friday, underneath our headliner.”

Eavis then confirmed the arrival of Del Rey at the Somerset festival on her Twitter, which can be seen below.

Elsewhere at the bill this year, legendary rock band Aerosmith also self-confirmed about their slot at Glastonbury. The news emerged along with the band’s tour announcement in Europe in June and July. Glastonbury was included in the dates, which is the only gig that the Steve Tyler-led group will play in the UK.

More about the festival, NME just crowned Glastonbury as Best British Festival and Best Festival in the World. Meanwhile, manager Emily Eavis was also granted the Godlike Genius award, following the previous grantees like Blondie, U2, The Cure, Coldplay, The Pet Shop Boys, and her very own father Michael Eavis who won this award in 1996. Receiving the accolade thanks to her contribution to the 50th Glastonbury, she has become the first non-musical act to be named Godlike Genius in over 20 years.

“Thank you so much! Thanks NME. I watched my dad pick this up when I was 16, and I was like ‘I would never do it’. But now, I’m just in so deep,” gratefully said Eavis. “This is for all the female artists as well,” added her. Read the full speech here.

Regarding Lana Del Rey, the 34-year-old singer just released Norman Fucking Rockwell! back in 2019. The album has become the most critically acclaimed record of Del Rey’s discography, sweeping numerous accolades from music critics and awards; NME recently declared the album as Best Album in the World at its award show, along with it being nominated for Album of the Year at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards and other accolades from Billboard, The Guardian, Rolling Stones, etc.

At the end of February, the sadcore songstress will arrive in the UK for the ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell!’ Tour. The UK leg consists of four-date shows in London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham. Tickets are on sale, but the availability is unfortunately extremely low to none. However, check out Ticketmaster in case of any luck and see the dates below.

In her “video note”, the American singer/songwriter updated her fans about her first poetry collection Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass. She said that the book seemed to take longer time to “handbind” than she had expected; however, prior to the book launch, she promised to drop an album of spoken word.

“Hi guys, I just want to leave you a quick video note. My book, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, is taking a lot longer to handbind than I thought, and I just want to let you know that I’m gonna put up a spoken word album if you can call than on the fourth of January.” She continued that she wanted the album to be around “a dollar” because she loved “the idea that thoughts are meant to be shared, and they were priceless in some way.”

Half of the proceeds of this spoken word album will also benefit various Native American organisations around the United States. She also added that the album is how she wanted to “pay homage” to the country that she loved so much.

Earlier this year, Del Rey released her sixth studio album Norman Fucking Rockwell!. The album shot up to number 1 on UK Albums Chart, with the title track and “Doin’ Time” climbing to top 50 on the Singles Chart.

Furthermore, the “Summertime Sadness” hitmaker will bring the tour in support of the latest album to the UK this coming February. The Norman Fucking Rockwell! Tour includes five shows, kicking off at The O2, London on February 25, which is already sold out. Nevertheless, the tickets for the other four dates are in available but in low vacancy. Check out Ticketmaster for the tickets.

Tour Dates:
25/02/2020 — The O2 — London
26/02 — Manchester Arena — Manchester
28/02 — The SSE Hydro — Glasgow

A close cousin to Ireland’s Longitude festival, Latitude have already announced their summer festival headliners, which includes Lana Del Ray, George Ezra, and Snow Patrol. Joining the trio of stellar headliners, in Suffolk, this year will be Black Country, New Road, Self Esteem and Ben Folds. The following names are also joining the bill and who will be heading to Suffolk this summer are Martha, Black Country, New Road, Easy Life, Chappaqua Wrestling and Gently Tender.

Speaking about his headline slot, at the festival, George Ezra, said: “It’s no secret that I’m a big Latitude fan. I’ve been to the festival numerous times as a performer and punter, so to be coming back in 2019 as a headliner – five years after my last performance – is a real treat.” Meanwhile, Snow Patrol have said: “We headlined the very first Latitude in 2006 and we are absolutely delighted to headline this year again. It’s a great festival and has a special place in our hearts. We can’t wait.”
