'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. The online platform offers fans the chance to purchase tickets for music and sports events, with a host of added perks included, as well. These could include anything from free food and beverages, access to after-parties, early entry, goodie bags, and much more.

Summertime madness? Summer fashion for people who hate summer
The sun might be high up, the enthusiasm to play 'dress up' might be hitting rock bottom, and you might be playing Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness on repeat; but that isn't any reason to desert the fun, frolic, and fashion! Summer often brings with it the expectation of breezy dresses, shorts, and vibrant colors. But let's call a spade a spade. No matter how easy and breezy it might look in the photos, putting in the effort to ace fashion in summer is a ginormous task. The dresses might look like they're ushering in the much-needed cool wind into the picture, but in reality – even getting into multiple layers of clothes can be a draining challenge in summer. How to stay fashionably presentable during the summer, then? Fret not, for we have a concise checklist for summer fashion! Check it out. Swear by natural fabrics This one's going to be your holy grail this summer, and every summer, to be honest. Opt for breathable materials like cotton and linen. These fabrics allow air circulation, keeping you cool and comfortable. Linen, in particular, is known for its ability to wick away moisture, making it ideal for warmer climates. Choose unlined garments to prevent added weight and to ensure better airflow. Swipe right on light colors Now, it's not mindful fashion if it's devoid of science, is it! Light-colored clothing reflects sunlight, helping to keep you cooler. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Shades like white, beige, pastels, and soft blues are not only stylish but also practical for summer wear. Anti-fit is your best ally Now, this one might not sit right with several fashionistas, but the love of comfort during summer – wrap up your tight-fitted outfits. Tight clothing can be uncomfortable in the heat. Instead, choose loose-fitting garments that allow your skin to breathe. Wide-leg trousers, flowy skirts, and oversized shirts can be both stylish and practical. Layer it up – but do it strategically If you're someone who prefers the comfort of cozy layers and the elegance of tailored pieces, don't worry and don't lose hope. Opt for lightweight options. A sheer cotton blouse over a tank top or a light cardigan can provide coverage without causing overheating. At any cost, avoid heavy fabrics and instead choose airy materials that offer comfort without sacrificing style. Choose athleisure We've come a long way since athleisure was strictly limited to the premises of gyms or yoga studios. Athleisure is a blessing from the fashion goddess, and no other piece of clothing combines comfort with style with such finesse, making it a perfect choice for those who dislike traditional summer attire. Think breathable joggers, stylish sneakers, and moisture-wicking tops. This trend allows you to stay cool while maintaining a fashionable appearance. Experiment with textures We get it, not all of us are very fond of light and bright colors or patterns, and would rather pick yet another all black look; but when it's scorching summer – you can always try and experiment with different textures. A linen blazer over a cotton tee or a silk scarf can add depth to your outfit without overwhelming your senses. Textures like lace, mesh, and silk can provide interest and elegance during the warmer months. Go minimal When it comes to accessorizing your summer look, keep chanting just one word under your breath – minimal! Accessories can elevate your summer wardrobe without requiring you to wear revealing clothing, but be super mindful. You don't want to overdo it, because that eventually will make things messier. Wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and lightweight scarves not only add style but also provide sun protection. Choose accessories that complement your outfit and offer practical benefits. Comfy footwear For the love of the fashion goddess, rest those high-top black boots and clumsy gladiators. Closed-toe shoes can be stifling in the heat. Opt for open-toe sandals, espadrilles, or breathable flats. These options keep your feet cool and comfortable while still looking chic. Moreover, you can take them off in a jiffy if you're about to dip your feet into the pool.

Sex positions and techniques to stay cool in the heatwave
In the words of Lana Del Rey: 'It's f***ing hot.' London is set to see temperatures of 27°C today. And despite rain forecast for the weekend, the UK is at an increased heatwave risk all summer long. Good sex is often described as steamy or sweaty, but if the temperature rises too much, it can be pretty uncomfortable. But although you can take some time away from the bedroom when it's super muggy and humid, during the warmer months there are going to be moments when you'll need to find a workaround. So, Metro has some tips to help you avoid overheating when it's roasting outside, while still keeping your sex life hot and spicy. Although reverse cowgirl is almost the same as cowgirl, the fact that your chests and mouths aren't facing towards each other helps cool it down a little. It's a great view for the person on the bottom, and the person on top doesn't need to grind too much and exert themselves to feel a whole lot. This position is great for clitoral stimulation and anal. Love reading juicy stories like this? Need some tips for how to spice things up in the bedroom? Sign up to The Hook-Up and we'll slide into your inbox every week with all the latest sex and dating stories from Metro. We can't wait for you to join us! The wheelbarrow initially seems like one of those positions that only a tantric master would be able to do. But if you get into it in stages it's much less daunting, and the lack of full body contact makes for heatwave-friendly thrusting. Get the person with the penis or strap-on to sit on the edge of the bed, and the person who'll be receiving to sit on their lap (also facing outwards). Then, the receiver bends down until their hands are on the floor, with the penetrating partner holding on to their thighs as they straighten them. The receiver walks their hands out on the floor, and the penetrating partner stands up, still holding their partner's legs. Doing this anywhere near a fan means you're basically having the coolest sex possible. Temperature play uses cold and hot items to stimulate erogenous zone in the body. But let's face it, we're not going to be going anywhere near the warm side right now. Blindfolding your partner and softly moving an ice cube across their skin can be a unique part of foreplay, and cool you down as well as arousing. Some people also like to use lightly melted ice cream, ice poles, or frozen fruit to add the element of taste to the mix. Just make sure to keep sweet stuff away from vaginas (no one wants a yeast infection) and incorporate a safe word so they can let you know if they're not comfortable at any point. Okay, this is isn't the standard wet t-shirt situation you've probably seen in American teen movies. But wearing a while t-shirt and having your partner spritz you with water while caressing you and kissing is pleasurable in more ways than one. The damp tee will keep you chilled, but show off all the contours of your body – no scratchy lingerie in sight. Then you're free to ride your partner into the sunset. Shower sex is a bit hit and miss in the real world. Water acts as an anti-lubricant causing friction, and the standard shower has little by way of grip. Needs must sometimes, so if you're thinking about having shower sex there are ways to make it great. More Trending You want to get yourself a silicone-based lube. Water-based lubricants will wash clean off and oil-based aren't safe for use with condoms. This will give you the movement you want. Do keep silicone lubes away from sex toys though, as they can break down the material. If you have a shower in the bath, use this for leverage by popping a leg up or adopting a seated position. If you opt for doggy-style, make sure the receiving person has somewhere to put their hands and that they're nowhere near the temperature controls. View More » Failing all this, you might as well just embrace the sweat, and have an ice lolly or pop a cold flannel on your head once you're done. Do you have a story to share?
