'One thing I hope Lana Del Rey doesn't repeat on her UK tour'
The Video Games singer is touring the UK and Ireland in June and July - and tickets are still available
Like most Lana girlies, I've been hooked since Video Games first dropped and introduced the world to her hazy, melancholic magic. Since then, her silky vocals and signature sad-girl glamour have only gotten better - richer, bolder and more cinematic.
I was lucky enough to see her live at Glastonbury 2023, and even though the night ended in (literal) silence when she didn't finish her set in time for the strict noise curfew, it was one of the most talked-about performances at the festival. Now, with Lana heading out on a UK and Ireland tour across June and July, I'm reliving that moment and getting hyped for what's to come - and what I'm hoping she leaves behind.
However, if you missed out on securing tickets, don't fret. Official and resale tickets remain available, and while they may come with a higher price tag, they're worth every penny.
Here are my top reasons why Lana Del Rey is a must-see - and how you can snag last-minute tickets to the tour.
The setlist
At Glastonbury, the setlist was gold. Lana floated between cult classics like Born to Die, Ride and Young and Beautiful to newer hits like Norman ***king Rockwell and Candy Necklace. If her upcoming shows follow the same trajectory, we're in for a treat.
And who knows, maybe she'll bring out a special guest or two - if Taylor Swift can do it, Lana can. My dream guest would be A$AP Rocky, a frequent collaborator of Lana's, having performed on the unreleased track Ridin' and starred in her National Anthem music video.
The aesthetics
Lana's stage presence is something else. Her ultra-stylised, ethereal aesthetic comes to life with dancers who look like they've stepped out of a noir ballet, vintage-style visuals and flowing costumes that blur the line between the California dream and old Hollywood heartbreak.
At Glastonbury, the production was packed with dreamy/surreal Lana vibes, so I'm crossing my fingers for more of the same.
Lana actually being in the UK
Of course, part of the thrill is that Lana doesn't tour often - especially in the UK. These upcoming dates (her first UK and Ireland stadium tour) feel like a rare chance to see her in the flesh before she retreats to the Hollywood hills or wherever she writes her moody magic. So, if you're thinking about going, now's the time to grab those last-minute tickets.
....and Lana being on time
Look - I adore Lana. But showing up 30 minutes late to Glastonbury wasn't exactly the move, and it meant we lost what could've been the most epic finale. According to the BBC, the star had at least six songs left to play when she was cut off, including some of her biggest hits, such as Summertime Sadness.
Saying that, her final singalong of Video Games with the crowd, mic or no mic, was a moment of pure Lana lore. So, yes, I'm manifesting promptness - but I'm also kinda hoping for another moment that turns into internet gold.
How to buy Lana Del Rey tickets now
viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
Lana Del Rey tickets are available through several online retailers, such as resale platforms including viagogo , Vivid Seats , and StubHub. These websites offer fans the opportunity to purchase tickets at their convenience, without the hassle of virtual queues or surge pricing. They also give fans the chance to pick their ideal seats along the way, as well.
While resale sites are an option, there are still official, first-hand tickets available for Lana Del Rey's shows, primarily via Seat Unique.

Oscar Branning to return to EastEnders for first time in eight years
Branning will return to the BBC soap aged 17 and will be played by Pierre Moullier, having previously been portrayed by Gabriel Miller-Williams, Neo Hall and Charlee Hall. Moullier said: 'It's pretty surreal to join EastEnders – it keeps hitting me that I'm actually on Albert Square. 'When I found out I was joining the Brannings, it was so exciting as they are such an iconic family, and I love that there are so many skeletons in the closet. 'Oscar is so much fun to play, and the audience should be prepared for the unexpected as he's a complex guy.' Producers have kept the reason for his return secret, but say it will be revealed when his older sister, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), receives a mysterious call, with Oscar's return set to 'turn her life upside down'. EastEnders executive producer Ben Wadey said: 'I'm very excited to bring Oscar Branning back to Walford and introduce viewers to him now that he's all grown up. 'Oscar is very much a Branning which means there's going to be plenty of drama in store this summer. 'We're delighted to welcome Pierre as he takes on the role and can't wait for viewers to see him bring Oscar to life.' Oscar last appeared in the show when he visited Max on Father's Day in 2017, before returning to Exeter, where he lived with his mother. The character is expected to return to Albert Square next month, with Moullier already filming scenes for the show.

Kneecap Glastonbury slot ‘not appropriate', says Starmer
He made the comments after Kneecap member Liam Og O hAnnaidh appeared in court on Wednesday, after being charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. In an interview with The Sun, Sir Keir was asked if he thought the trio should perform at Glastonbury, to which he replied: 'No, I don't, and I think we need to come down really clearly on this. 'This is about the threats that shouldn't be made, I won't say too much because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate.' It comes after Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance at the festival next week. Mrs Badenoch said in the X post, which was accompanied by an article from The Times that claimed the BBC had not banned the group: 'The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. 'One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. 'As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.' The Tory Leader of the Opposition has previously called for the group to be banned from Glastonbury, and last year Kneecap won a discrimination case against the UK Government in Belfast High Court after she tried to refuse them a £14,250 funding award when she was a minister. Kneecap took aim at Mrs Badenoch in their latest single, The Recap, released just before their headline set at London's Wide Awake festival in May, with the song mocking the politician's attempts to block their arts funding and the Conservative Party's election loss. The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. As a publicly funded platform the BBC should not be rewarding extremism. — Kemi Badenoch (@KemiBadenoch) June 21, 2025 On Wednesday, O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. During the proceedings, a prosecutor told the court the 27-year-old is 'well within his rights' to voice his opinions on Israel and Palestine, but the alleged incident at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, is a 'wholly different thing'. O hAnnaidh was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. Following the hearing, the rapper said: 'For anybody going to Glastonbury, you can see us there at 4pm on the Saturday. 'If you can't be there we'll be on the BBC, if anybody watches the BBC. We'll be at Wembley in September. 'But most importantly: free, free Palestine.' The charge came following a counter-terrorism police investigation after the historical gig footage came to light, which also allegedly shows the group calling for the deaths of MPs. In April, Kneecap apologised to the families of murdered MPs but said footage of the incident had been 'exploited and weaponised'. In an initial post in response to the charge, Kneecap said: '14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. 'We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves, this is political policing, this is a carnival of distraction. 'We are not the story, genocide is, as they profit from genocide, they use an 'anti-terror law' against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their crown court, instead a court that doesn't have a jury. What's the objective? 'To restrict our ability to travel. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare speak out. 'Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. 'The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.' Formed in 2017, the group are known for their provocative lyrics in both Irish and English and their merchandise. Their best-known tracks include Get Your Brits Out, Better Way To Live, featuring Grian Chatten from Fontaines DC, and 3Cag. A BBC spokesperson said: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC will be bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. 'Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans will ensure that our programming will meet our editorial guidelines. Decisions about our output will be made in the lead-up to the festival.'
