Lana Del Rey has officially announced her plans for her much-anticipated 2025 UK and Ireland tour, invigorated by her recent festival appearances and the excitement surrounding her upcoming album.
Starting on June 23, 2025, the tour will kick off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium and will take Del Rey through several iconic venues including Glasgow's Hampden Park, Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, Dublin's Aviva Stadium, and culminating at London's Wembley Stadium on July 3.
Fans are buzzing with excitement at the prospect of seeing Lana's mesmerizing performances live, especially since this will be her first-ever stadium tour across the UK. After captivating audiences at major festivals like Coachella and Reading & Leeds, the upcoming tour signifies another leap forward for the singer-songwriter.
For those eager to secure their tickets, there are important details to keep track of. General ticket sales are set to begin on November 29, with options available through major platforms like Ticketmaster and See Tickets. The presale opportunity earlier this week stirred up great interest, leading to high demand.
Interest, of course, came with its own set of controversies. The prices for tickets have been described as ‘eye-watering’ and have left many fans outraged. While tickets are reportedly priced between £79 and £170 for general access, some packages—especially VIP options—are rumored to soar as high as £405. A quick look at the breakdown reveals rear standing tickets priced at £297 and front standing at £419, which have provoked widespread reactions across social media.
One user expressed disbelief at the prices, posting, “Lana Del Rey, are you having a laugh with your ticket prices ma’am?” Another chimed in with sarcasm, saying, “I’m sorry Lana?! £80.70 to £405 PER TICKET?!” These sentiments are echoed by numerous others feeling the strain of such expensive concert tickets.
The backlash surrounding Lana’s ticket pricing fits within broader concerns many music lovers have about the rising costs associated with attending live music events. Critics argue these high prices push concert experiences out of reach for average fans.
Del Rey has been quite the artist over the years, gaining notable acclaim with her string of hit albums—nine studio records strong, with titles such as Born to Die, Norman F*ing Rockwell, and her latest, Did you know there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd? coming to fruition last year. Excitedly, she announced the forthcoming release of her tenth album, The Right Person Will Stay, set for May 21, 2025. Clearly, this is going to be another big chapter for the artist, and fans are eager to hear how this new material will feature alongside her classics during live performances.
Despite the tumult surrounding ticket pricing, anticipation runs high among her followers. Many have taken to social media to express their eagerness for the concerts, with some hopeful fans stating things like, “Can’t wait!” and “Please let me get tickets!” as they prepare to navigate the upcoming sales.
The 2025 tour promises not just entertainment but also showcases the significance of Del Rey's evolution as both an artist and live performer. The mix of her nostalgic sound and the engaging atmosphere of stadium performances raises expectations for what could truly be unforgettable nights for those fortunate to attend.
For die-hard fans and new listeners alike, the Lana Del Rey concerts carry the promise of spectacular music, heartfelt lyrics, and the unique experience only live music can provide. Keeping fingers crossed for affordable tickets and unforgettable performances will certainly be on the minds of many fans as the sale date approaches.
