7 Best Moments From Lana Del Rey’s Biggest-Ever U.K. Show


Lana Del Rey kicked off her U.K. and Ireland stadium tour in Cardiff, Wales with singalongs, covers, and teasers of her forthcoming new album.

A mere handful of headline shows, a string of 2020 gigs cancelled, and two consecutive summers of having her set cut off early by major festivals have conjured a feeling that, when it comes to Del Rey and British stages, the stars are never quite able to align. Yet rather than frustrating, for the legion of fans descending on Cardiff this week, these twists and turns are part of Del Rey’s charm – integral to the air of mystery that surrounds her like a cloud of her vape smoke. A nod to the presumed Southern Gothic influences of her upcoming album, the show takes place in the front yard of a full-sized shotgun house – complete with a white picket fence, creaking porch swing and vintage-looking street lamp that, as it turns out, is primed for pole dancing.
