				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lana Del Rey has released new single ‘White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter’ along with with a self-shot accompanying music video. Following her singles ‘Henry Come On’ and ‘Bluebird’ in 2025, this is the third track released from her mysterious new album ‘<em>Stove</em>’.</p>
<p>Unreleased and without a date confirmed, the album is expected to release in as little as three months &#8211; though it seems the singer is keen to share her new sound with her fans in the mean time.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">The singer announced the upcoming release of ‘White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter’ via Instagram on February 7th, and that whilst she understands the heavy demand for the album, she wanted fans to “enjoy the single first”.</span></strong></p>

<p>In another recent video, she talks about her getting to have a “minute to [herself] and to just enjoy one of the songs being out”, alongside a spiritual appreciation for the song’s release being on a solar eclipse and the Chinese new year of the fire horse, a clear indicator of the singer’s resonance with the album being a new beginning.</p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I got a beautiful video of the solar eclipse and I started my morning with the most fiery pink and red sky, so I’m hoping to bring that energy into today, into tomorrow.”</span></i></p>
<p>The single released on February 17th with a self-recorded music video debuting yesterday. Written with help of her husband, sister, and brother in law, the track is a beautifully haunting fusion of Southern gothic country. The accompanying music video shows the stereotypically beautiful and romanticised &#8220;sad-girl&#8221; image of Lana through a darker, even ghostly lens &#8211; certainly alluding to a new arc in the singer&#8217;s musical aesthetic. Faithful collaborator Jack Antonoff assisted in producing this new sound, and helped to find what Lana described as “that magical chord”.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In interview with <em><a href="%20https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/lana-del-rey-new-album-cover-interview-2025">W</a></em></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Lana explains the many changes made to the album since its announcement in 2024, including a name change from ‘<em>Lasso</em>’ then further as ‘<em>The Right Person Will Stay</em>’, until finally ‘<em>Stove</em>’ came about in August 2025. <span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8216;<em>Stove</em>&#8216; will be the singer&#8217;s 10th studio album, and will undoubtedly endure worldwide success as did </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">her several previous award-winning albums like</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> &#8216;<em>Norman Fucking Rockwell</em>&#8216; and &#8216;<em>Born to Die</em>&#8216;.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the almost two years since its announcement, the album has undergone several changes and edits, including additional tracks which have contributed to its delay in release. </span></p>
<p>Now, with new and exciting glimpses of Lana&#8217;s new era being steadily released, it seems fans can finally start to get excited about the singer’s 10th studio album.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU6tZPEEc-9/"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Stove, coming soon.” </span></i></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both the single and music video are out now and are available on streaming platforms. </span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Indie-pop icon Lana Del Rey gave a show-stopping performance last night for her first ever headline gig at the Wembley Stadium, London. The singer had <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/lana-del-rey-announces-supporting-acts-for-ukireland-tour/" target="_blank">support </a>from social media personality and singer Addison Rae. The two performed a viral duet of Rae’s ‘Diet Pepsi’, which Del Rey admitted she loved “so much”.</span></p>

<p><script src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js" async=""></script><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rae star rose to fame in 2019 with her first song release in 2021, ‘Obsessed’. From there, her preppy online personality, which initially gained traction on TikTok, has made some vast changes.  In an interview with <a href="http://www.elle.com/culture/music/a64462999/addison-rae-interview-2025/" target="_blank">Elle </a>she says, “I wasn’t going to let being cringe and posting a million videos stop me. And now that I look back at it, I don’t feel embarrassed about anything I ever posted. I can appreciate that girl and say that was a girl who was going to make it happen, no matter what that meant doing.”. Now, she&#8217;s making music with a different tone. Last year, Rae featured on Charli XCX’s hyper-pop track<a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/6nx4f2nVmFNWquoMtUrdYX?si=db72121e171141fb" target="_blank"> ‘Von Dutch A.G. Cook Remix Featuring Addison Rae’</a> and the British artist’s melancholic influence can be seen in Rae’s following releases. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her latest album</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ‘Addison’</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> reached number 2 on the Official Albums Chart with her classic pop vocals alongside a new siren quality and dream-pop style. This was heard most strikingly in the most popular single from the album ‘Diet Pepsi’. </span> Similarly, her image is darker and messier in the music video for her track ‘Headphones on’ as she sings in a grunge-inspired landscape wearing a pink wig with lyrics, &#8220;Need a cigarette to make me feel better&#8221;. <iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XdFpzaM07i0?si=2_e-3VElU1VDdTlZ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Many fans were shocked to see her smoking a cigarette and posted on TikTok about the &#8220;rebrand&#8221;.  </p>
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@un1verse.eat3r/video/7495204219704757550" data-video-id="7495204219704757550"><section><a title="@un1verse.eat3r" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@un1verse.eat3r?refer=embed" target="_blank">@un1verse.eat3r</a> addison mama put us ON <a title="♬ Headphones On - Addison Rae" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/Headphones-On-7490685382096783361?refer=embed" target="_blank">♬ Headphones On &#8211; Addison Rae</a></section>
</blockquote>
<p><script src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js" async=""></script><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Following the ‘Diet Pepsi’ duet, the artists gave a surprise heartfelt performance of Del Rey’s ‘57.5’, an unreleased track from her upcoming album </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘The Right Person Will Stay’. </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The crowd went crazy for this popular forthcoming track, already having learnt all the lyrics so they could sing along. </span></p>

<p>Electro-pop singer-songwriter Banks will join Lana for her next three shows at Glasgow (June 26), Liverpool (28) and Dublin (30). For the following two dates at Wembley Stadium on July 4 and 5, rising popstar Addison Rae will feature as support.</p>
<p>Fans are still anticipating Lana’s next release – when this tour was announced in November, it was said to be in support of her upcoming tenth studio album, ‘<em>Lasso</em>’. The project was then renamed ‘<em>The Right Person Will Stay</em>’, but in a now deleted Instagram video posted in April, she told followers the album had undergone a second name change and wouldn’t be released in May.</p>
<p>She has released two tracks from the album so far. ‘Bluebird’ and ‘Henry, Come Over’, both of which showcase an acoustic, folky style that still captures her signature atmospheric sound. Back in January, she stated that <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/lana-del-rey-announces-new-country-album-lasso-3580491" target="_blank">the upcoming project would delve into country music</a>, while exploring other genres throughout the record.</p>

<p>As fans gear up to watch Lana perform in the UK, certain cities are taking measures to accommodate the concert goers for these big gigs. As she plays Hampden Park National Stadium in Glasgow on Thursday (June 26), rail operator ScotRail has announced extra trains and carriages for the concert, between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida (the closest station to the stadium).</p>
<p>There will also be measures put in place in Cardiff for her show tonight, with a number of road closures planned around the stadium and in Cardiff city centre to ensure that fans can travel to and from Principality Stadium safely.</p>
<p>You can view the full tour dates below:</p>
<p><strong>LANA DEL REY 2025 UK/IRELAND TOUR &#8211; </strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">As another year in music comes to an end, telecoms tycoon Virgin Media O2 have unveiled important analysis of this year’s live events according to O2’s Priority Tickets scheme. Not only did O2 provide a breakdown of all the artists that contributed to the all-important figures, but they also emphasised it was a recording-breaking year for consumers using the ticket reward scheme.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It was reported that <a href="https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/o2-reveals-the-biggest-selling-tours-of-2024-so-far-on-priority-tickets/" target="_blank">1.54 million tickets were sold via O2 Priority</a> between January and November of this year – this is a remarkable 12% increase from the same time period in 2023.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">O2 and Virgin Media customers are granted with the Priority Tickets reward platform, which enables them to have exclusive early access to the sale of tickets to some of the biggest events in the UK. Along with this, members can receive other benefits including VIP Hospitality packages, queue jump and a range of discounts.</p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The biggest selling tours of 2024 according to the level of Priority Tickets sold, reveals the UK have an eclectic taste when it concerns entertainment.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Dua Lipa was crowned the top spot on the list. The pop sensation released her third album, ‘<em>Radical Optimism’ </em>this year alongside the announcement of a <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/dua-lipa-announces-wembley-stadium-show-next-year-following-glastonbury-performance/" target="_blank">2025 world tour</a>, named after the LP. With her own <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/dua-lipa-releases-a-live-album-ahead-of-itv-special-an-evening-with-dua-lipa/" target="_blank">ITV Special</a> and memorable hits like ‘Houdini’ and <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/dua-lipa-fights-off-the-male-gaze-in-training-season-music-video/" target="_blank">‘Training Season’</a>, it is no surprise Lipa claims this spot. As the highest-selling artist on the list, it should be noted that the ticket sales for her upcoming tour were partnered with O2’s priority platform, announced through an enticingly iconic ‘Walk’ ad to increase hype for the events.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mdFttWXVyH4?si=WH3iqGQAg963mRWm" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Lipa’s runner-up was none other than legendary British comedian <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/peter-kay" target="_blank">Peter Kay</a>. As a much-loved comedian in the UK, Kay’s upcoming tour will consist of a residency at London’s prestigious O2 Arena; with many sold out dates on this tour and some fans reporting being over <a href="https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/peter-kay-tickets-sell-out-as-up-to-28000-people-join-online-queue-742065" target="_blank">20,000</a> in the queue for tickets, extra shows have been added to meet demand.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Despite only announcing her tour at the end of November, <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/lana-del-rey-tickets/artist/1646704" target="_blank">Lana Del Rey</a> claimed the third spot on the list. The forthcoming tour will mark the ‘Video Games’ singer’s first stadium tour in the UK and will be some of the first shows to witness performances of tracks from her unreleased album ‘<em>The Right Person Will Stay’.</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Lana-Del-Rey-UK-and-Ireland-tour-dates.-CREDIT_-Press.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-103255" src="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Lana-Del-Rey-UK-and-Ireland-tour-dates.-CREDIT_-Press-600x600.jpg" alt="Lana-Del-Rey-UK-and-Ireland-tour-dates.-CREDIT_-Press" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Other artists on the list include <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/usher-tickets/artist/766722" target="_blank">Usher</a>, who continues to ride the success of his halftime performance at this year’s Super Bowl in February, along with <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/billie-eilish-tickets/artist/2257710" target="_blank">Billie Eilish</a>, who released her third album ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ this year and has spent the last few months touring the album in the US.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Gareth Griffiths, Director of Partnerships and Sponsorship at Virgin Media O2 <a href="https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/o2-reveals-the-biggest-selling-tours-of-2024-so-far-on-priority-tickets/" target="_blank">commented</a> on the success of this year’s O2 Priority Tickets reward platform: “There have been massive tours announced this year, ones that will go on to define an entire generation of music and entertainment.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">He <a href="https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/o2-reveals-the-biggest-selling-tours-of-2024-so-far-on-priority-tickets/" target="_blank">continued</a>: “With a relentless demand from O2 and Virgin Media broadband customers for access to live shows, we’re now seeing Priority Tickets smash its own sale records again this year”.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As the future remains hopeful for the continued success of Priority Tickets, it must be emphasised this comes at a time when ticket-buying experiences have become excruciating for fans who wait in online queues for hours or have to deal with <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/parliamentary-debate-on-ticket-transparency-bill-delayed/" target="_blank">dynamic pricing</a> at checkout. Priority Tickets aims to create a hassle-free ticket-buying experience for its customers and gig-goers.</p>

<p>The UK and Ireland tour 2025 will follow the singer’s successful 2024 festival appearances, including Reading &amp; Leeds. Lana hasn’t done a tour in the UK since 2017 when she promoted her fifth studio album ‘<em>Lust For Life</em>’. The tour will mark her first major stadium shows in the region, with performances scheduled at iconic venues like Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Glasgow’s Hampden Park, Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, Liverpool’s Anfield, and London’s Wembley Stadium. The tour kicks off on June 23, 2025, and concludes on July 4, 2025​.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Some fans have voiced concerns about the prices, noting that even restricted-view seats range from £100 to £120, depending on the venue, often comparing it to the <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/taylor-swift-announces-uk-dates-for-her-eras-tour-2024/" target="_blank">Taylor Swift Eras tour</a>. Taylor Swift&#8217;s tour featured an extensive production with elaborate staging, costumes, and a multi-hour setlist, leading to higher ticket pricing. In contrast, Lana Del Rey&#8217;s tour, while high-profile, focuses on a more intimate, atmospheric performance style, which may contribute to slightly lower base ticket costs but still faces criticism for restricted-view pricing. Lana Del Rey&#8217;s tickets remain generally accessible but are more polarizing due to pricing disparities between venues. Lana hasn&#8217;t responded to the backlash.</p>
<p>General ticket prices vary by location:</p>
<ul>
<li>London Wembley Stadium: Starting at £71.51.</li>
<li>Cardiff: Around £80.70.</li>
<li>Glasgow: Higher, around £160.96.</li>
<li>Other locations, such as Liverpool, offer similar pricing to Cardiff</li>

<p>Prior to announcing this tour, Lana said in May 2024: &#8220;I&#8217;ve decided not to do a stadium tour this year because I want to go to McCreary County in Kentucky, I want to go meet the people. I want to say hi and have breakfast with them. It&#8217;s not always about picking up my money at the stadiums.&#8221;</p>

<p>Similarly to this instance, the singer has also decided to rename her upcoming album &#8216;<em>Lasso</em>&#8216; to &#8216;<em>The Right Person Will Stay</em>&#8216;, which is currently set to be released in May 2025 and which the tour will be in support of.</p>
<p>Lana is also set to perform at Anfield Stadium as part of her UK and Ireland tour, further deepening her bond with Liverpool. The singer has developed a strong connection with Liverpool through her admiration for the city&#8217;s cultural heritage, particularly its musical and football traditions. She recorded a poignant a cappella version of &#8216;<em>You’ll Never Walk Alone</em>&#8216;, the iconic anthem of Liverpool FC, for a documentary about the club.</p>

<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The Right Person Will Stay&#8221; will be the singer’s tenth studio album, marking a venture into the country genre. She will collaborate again with Jack Antonoff, and Luke Laird, a music producer and writer well known for working in country music. This July she released “Tough”, a collaboration with Quavo. The track combines Quavo&#8217;s quintessential rap style and Lana Del Rey&#8217;s dreamy vocals, with a clear guitar tune that sounds decidedly country. The hook is catchy in the common country-pop style with the lyrics, &#8220;Tough like the scuff on a pair of old leather boots / Like the blue-collar, red-dirt attitude /Like a .38 made out of brass&#8221;, standing out in particular. </span></strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lana Del Rey last performed in the UK in August of this year at the Reading &amp; Leeds Festivals. She also headlined the Hyde Park Festival and Glastonbury in 2023. Besides this, she hasn’t done a tour in the UK since 2017 when she promoted her fifth studio album “Lust For Life”. </span></strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lana Del Rey is a New York-native pop singer who has been active since 2005. She released her first album, “Lana Del Rey”, in 2010, but her first commercial success came when she released the single “Video Games” in 2011. The song went viral, and she signed with labels Polydor and Interscope shortly after. She then released her second album, “Born to Die,” in 2012, with the single “Summertime Sadness” from the same album leading to further chart success. Whilst she has never achieved a number one song in the UK, six of her singles have reached the top ten in the <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7180/lana-del-rey/" target="_blank">official UK charts</a>, and she has achieved six number one albums including: Born To Die (2012), Ultraviolence (2014), Lust For Life (2017), Norman F**king Rockwell! (2019), Chemtrails Over The Country Club (2021) and Did you know that there&#8217;s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd.? (2023).</span></strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After a history of constantly reinventing and experimenting with her sound, Del Rey&#8217;s newest album is set to explore the country genre whilst still maintaining a sound that is quintessentially her. The album &#8220;The Right Person Will Stay&#8221;, originally called &#8220;Lasso&#8221;, is set to release 21 May 2025 following delays. In an interview <a href="https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/lana-del-rey-rock-en-seine-2024-chanel" target="_blank">Vogue</a> this August, Del Rey said, “If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American, or Southern Gothic production—which again, so many of my songs already are.” In an earlier interview with <a href="https://people.com/lana-del-rey-interview-country-album-lasso-update-8734260" target="_blank">People</a>, on why the album has faced delays she said, &#8220;&#8216;Cause I don&#8217;t usually feel like I need a pause in the creation process, but if there&#8217;s a literal energetic pause that almost feels like physical, then I have to wait and I don&#8217;t know why.&#8221; The commitment to her craft is what makes Lana Del Rey&#8217;s music constantly authentic despite the exploration of sound and genres from album to album.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The UK and Ireland tour in support of &#8220;The Right Person Will Stay&#8221; is set to start in Cardiff, June 2025. The full list of dates is below.</p>
<p>23/06/2025 &#8211; Principality Stadium &#8211; Cardiff</p>
<p>26/06 &#8211; Hampden Park &#8211; Glasgow</p>
<p>28/06 &#8211; Anfield Stadium &#8211; Liverpool</p>
<p>30/06 &#8211; Aviva Stadium &#8211; Dublin</p>
<p>03/07 &#8211; Wembley Stadium &#8211; London</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a relentless whirlwind of festivals, jampacked shows and awards under their belt, British indie rock band The Last Dinner Party has announced they will be performing at Coachella 2024. The fearless five-piece will be in the red-hot company of headliners Doja Cat, Tyler The Creator and Lana Del Rey, with over 125,000 Day Ticketholders ready to swarm to the desert to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars.</p>
<p>The 23rd instalment of the festival will run across two consecutive weekends as it returns to the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California, on April 12-14 and April 19-21. Those seeking full weekend entry will be able to purchase three-day passes this Friday at 11am PT as part of Coachella’s pre-sale.</p>
<p>The Last Dinner Party were first formed in Hackney, London, in 2021 after their friendship circles collided during fresher’s week at university. Known for their Antoinette-style corsets, white Renaissance gowns and tumultuous lyrics, the group appear to have grown a loyal, underground fanbase overnight.</p>
<p>Seemingly the lovechild of Bram Stoker and Angela Carter, Abigail Morris is their unflinching lead vocalist, accompanied by the brilliant Georgia Davies (bass), Lizzie Mayland (guitar), Aurora Nishevci (keys), and Emily Roberts (lead guitar).</p>
<p>Snapped up by Island Records in 2022, the band went on to release their debut single ‘Nothing Matters’ in April of last year, followed by a second single ‘Sinner’ in June, and ‘My Lady of Mercy’ last October, all of which were produced by James Ford, known for his work with The Last Shadow Puppets, Arctic Monkeys, Blur and Gorillaz.</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pETz4IMmeDU?si=SlLNynjE5Jp_T8_n" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Despite such a slender discography, the band have expertly woven a coded folklore of feminist magic realism that has deeply resonated with their fans, offering up an irresistible concoction of sex, revenge and religion at its core.</p>
<p>The quintet is set to take the stage on Saturday 13 and Saturday 20; however, this isn’t their first rodeo across the Atlantic. The group are expected to attract an eclectic crowd of music lovers following their first North American tour last autumn, alongside an impressive string of shows with Irish folk singer Hozier, and a bucket list of support act positions previously secured with Florence + The Machine, The Rolling Stones and none other than Lana herself.</p>
<p>The band took to Instagram to make the announcement, while also hinting at future shows in the U.S. later this year.</p>
<p><iframe id="instagram-embed-0" class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" style="background: white; max-width: 658px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid #dbdbdb; box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 0px 0px 12px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2MkmmqtrRK/embed?utm_source=ig_embedembed/captioned/" width="300" height="750" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span></iframe></p>
<p>From writhing theatrics on sticky pub floors to signing with one of the world’s most iconic record labels, it appears The Last Dinner Party won’t be the only British rising talent making a name for themselves across the pond this spring. They’ll be joined by the likes of Mercury Prize runner-up <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/bbc-radio-1s-sound-of-2024-top-ten-acts-announced/">Olivia Dean</a>, The Japanese House and electronic music project Jungle.</p>
<p>The festival also will feature a long-awaited reunion of Gwen Stefani-fronted No Doubt, as well as major performances by Blur, Deftones and breakout rapper Ice Spice.</p>
<p>Crowned as BBC Radio 1’s Sound of 2024 and Brit Award Rising Star winners at the end of last year, they are proving to go from strength to strength, riding a goldrush of critical acclaim from every corner of the industry.</p>
<p>In the face of all of the airbrushed glamour and looming controversies from the festival over the past two years, we can’t wait to see what The Last Dinner Party have up their sleeve.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first revealed headlining acts to perform at next year&#8217;s edition of Reading and Leeds festival have been revealed, with Lana Del Rey, Liam Gallagher and Blink-182 set to feature. Catfish And The Bottlemen, Gerry Cinnamon and Fred Again complete the star-studded headliner line-up. Reading and Leeds have also announced a further four acts that will feature at next year&#8217;s event to complete the first wave of artist announcements: American DJ Skrillex, British rapper Digga D, singer-songwriter Raye and Canadian heavy metal band Spiritbox.</p>
<p>The festival is set to take place from 21 August to 25 August 2024 at Reading&#8217;s Richfield Avenue and Bramham Park in Leeds and will follow this year&#8217;s festival, which included headliners The 1975, Imagine Dragons, Billie Eilish and The Killers.</p>
<p>American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey is set to make her long-anticipated Reading and Leeds debut, as will London-based singer and DJ Fred Again. Pop-punk icons Blink-182 will return to headline the famed twin-venue festival for the first time since 2014, while Catfish And The Bottlemen are also set to return, making their first appearance at the festival back in 2021. Another headliner who also featured at the festival in 2021 is Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Cinnamon.</p>
<p>Watch the music video for Lana Del Rey&#8217;s &#8220;<em>Summertime Sadness</em>&#8221; below:</p>

<p>Liam Gallagher is yet another headliner making a return to Reading and Leeds, having also featured at the 2021 edition. The former Oasis frontman is set to play the entirety of <em><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/liam-gallagher-confirms-no-solo-material-will-be-added-to-the-definitely-maybe-tour-setlist/">Definitely Maybe</a> </em>to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the acclaimed album, with his appearance at the festival to be preceded by a tour dedicated to the anniversary of said album.</p>
<p>Festival Republic managing director Melvin Benn, the main promoter of Reading and Leeds festival among others, has <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/reading-leeds-2024-six-headliners-revealed-as-first-wave-of-line-up-announced-tickets-3548085">said</a> of next year&#8217;s event, &#8220;<em>We are thrilled to announce the first wave of artists for Reading &amp; Leeds 2024. I am very proud that the biggest artists in the world choose to play Reading &amp; Leeds and to have three incredible UK festival exclusives – the electrifying Fred again.., a true generational talent Lana Del Ray and the legendary Blink-182</em>.</p>
<p>Ben continued, “<em>The iconic Liam Gallagher will return to play an all-time classic album ‘Definitely Maybe’ which will be a special moment indeed. We pride ourselves on nurturing artists from the early stages in their career, so to see acts like Catfish &amp; The Bottlemen rising through the festival to headline for the second time is very rewarding</em>. <em>2023 was a hugely successful year for attendance and sensational audience feedback, and we are eager to build upon this success even further at the UK’s biggest and best music festival</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Watch the music video for Blink-182&#8217;s &#8220;<em>What&#8217;s My Age Again?</em>&#8221; below:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Glastonbury ticket sales have been delayed by two weeks, much to festival-goers&#8217; frustration. Glastonbury&#8217;s organisers shared their reasoning behind the decision, <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-67306916">announcing</a> that it was &#8220;<em>out of fairness</em>&#8221; to those who wish to attend the 2024 festival but had not realised that their registrations had expired.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">This year&#8217;s Glastonbury ticket sale has been moved back by two weeks. This is to ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket is registered and therefore eligible to purchase one.</p>
<p>The new dates for Glastonbury ticket sale are as follows:</p>
<p>TICKETS PLUS COACH TRAVEL ON… <a href="https://t.co/LL5m3HmuQf">pic.twitter.com/LL5m3HmuQf</a></p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script>Glastonbury have apologised for the late announcement as prospective ticket buyers were given minimal notice about the change in dates. Organisers issued a statement, <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2023/11/02/glastonbury-ticket-sale-suddenly-delayed-hours-before-festival-release-19763758/">saying</a> &#8220;<em>We apologise for the late change to the ticket sale dates, but we want to ensure that everyone who would like to buy a ticket for next year’s festival is able to confirm their registration ahead of the sale.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>They also shared more behind their reasoning, <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2023/11/02/glastonbury-ticket-sale-suddenly-delayed-hours-before-festival-release-19763758/">saying</a> &#8220;<em>Unfortunately, it has come to light that some individuals hoping to buy tickets for 2024 have discovered after Monday’s registration deadline that they are no longer registered, despite believing they were.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>They <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2023/11/02/glastonbury-ticket-sale-suddenly-delayed-hours-before-festival-release-19763758/">continued</a><em>, &#8220;Out of fairness to those individuals, we will be re-opening the window for registration at 12 noon on Monday, November 6. It will remain open until 5pm on Monday, November 13.&#8221; </em>This decision has not been a popular one however, with many people sharing their frustration on social media.</p>
<p>One Twitter user shared her annoyance at cancelling her plans for the now delayed ticket sale, whilst another called it an &#8220;<em>absolute joke</em>.&#8221;  </p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>
Oh no it’s cool it’s not like we all cancelled our plans and have sat with anxiety all day so you can play your silly little fairness game x — Sophie Thompson (@sophxthompson) <a href="https://twitter.com/sophxthompson/status/1720084568257261604?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 2, 2023</a>

<p>The festival is set to take place from Wednesday 26th June until Sunday 30th June. Tickets will be available to purchase <a href="https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/content/extras">here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/?s=glastonbury">Glastonbury 2023</a> was filled with iconic performances from the likes of Elton John, Lana Del Rey, Foo Fighters and Blondie, amongst many others. Watch some highlights below.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lana Del Rey&#8217;s Glastonbury 2023 appearance was cut short after her late arrival on stage, leaving fans disgruntled and disappointed.</p>
<p>Del Rey kept fans waiting for an additional 30 minutes before gracing the stage at 11pm, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/25/lana-del-rey-apologises-for-glastonbury-late-show-my-hair-takes-so-long">explaining</a> to the crowd, &#8220;<em>I&#8217;m so fucking late they may cut my set. I&#8217;m sorry, my hair takes so long. If they cut the power, let&#8217;s keep going.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Due to the curfew, the festival organisers were forced to cut her set short just one hour after she began her performance, abruptly pulling the plug midway through. This came after Del Rey addressed the crowds, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/lana-del-rey-glastonbury-cut-short-1234777800/">saying</a>, &#8220;<em>I was so fucking late that I am about to rush this set to death.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Del Rey <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/lana-del-rey-glastonbury-cut-short-1234777800/">continued</a>, &#8220;<em>If they cut the power, I&#8217;m super fucking sorry. Let&#8217;s keep on running the set as it&#8217;s supposed to go.</em>&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script>Despite telling the crowds, &#8220;<em>I love you to death</em>,&#8221; fans were understandably feeling let down by the performer&#8217;s inability to arrive on time to deliver a complete performance. The power was cut midway through Del Rey&#8217;s planned set, forcing the crowds and Lana to complete the iconic &#8220;<em>Video Games</em>&#8221; a capella.  </p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>

</p></blockquote>

<p>Despite the onslaught of boos from the crowd, Del Rey continued to perform with no power, approaching the crowds in the pit to perform an a capella version of &#8220;<em>Summertime Sadness&#8221; </em>as her final track of the night before being escorted away by her team.</p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script>Six songs were cut from the set as a result of Del Rey&#8217;s lateness, including &#8220;<em>Venice Bitch</em>,&#8221; an unreleased track titled &#8220;<em>Bittersweet Anthem</em>&#8221; and the fan favourite &#8220;<em>Summertime Sadness,</em>&#8221; which was performed in a rushed version as Del Rey stood barefoot in front of the pit with no microphone and no screens to aid her.  <script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Whilst Del Rey was met with boos from the crowd at the beginning and end of her performance, some fans channeled their annoyance towards the Glastonbury organisers, with one fan tweeting that Glastonbury &#8220;<em>did her dirty</em>&#8221; during &#8220;<em>the biggest show of her career.</em>&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Nah <a href="https://twitter.com/glastonbury?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@glastonbury</a> firstly Lana should have been a Pyramid headliner and you did her dirty. THEN you cut her Mic off when she’s playing easily the biggest show of her career. Revolting behaviour. Especially when other artists are still playing other stages. Rude. — Emily (@EmilyG_____) <a href="https://twitter.com/EmilyG_____/status/1672745984877637632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 24, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script>Another fan called it &#8220;<em>the best Glasto performance I&#8221;ve seen for years,</em>&#8221; despite all the problems.  </p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>
Can’t believe they cut Lana Del Rey sound <a href="https://twitter.com/glastonbury?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@glastonbury</a> before finishing set, best Glasto performance I’ve seen for years. Insanity</p>
