‘Worst tour ever’: Lana Del Rey’s UK tour is getting absolutely dragged by her fans

If there is usually anyone who is going to defend a Lana Del Rey show from even her staunchest critic, you know it would be her fans. As one of those die hard fans myself, when she was late at Glastonbury in 2023 and the world and his wife wanted her crucified for the 45 minute delay, I was the one spouting how she’s so godly she can do anything she wants. But this time, as Lana Del Rey returns to the UK and tours big stadiums, well… that’s not quite what’s happening. After Lana Del Rey debuted this tour in Cardiff on Monday night, the reception from her die hards has been extremely poor and social media is awash with people flogging their (very pricey) tickets. But what went wrong? Here’s why Lana Del Rey and her new tour are getting dragged by fans online right now.

It seems not even a Wembley support slot for Addison Rae can turn the favour. Although maybe people will think differently when the inevitable Diet Pepsi cover begins.

‘Worst show ever’

Worst show ever.

– same setlist for the past 3 years
– no fan fan favorites sung
– hiding behind a wall for 20+ minutes
– 3 songs in full playback
– 15 minute interlude
– ended it with country roads
– performed just singles
– 1h20min show
– zero effort bare minimum

One of the biggest Lana Del Rey fan accounts on Twitter posted a scathing verdict on the Lana Del Rey tour, one of many viral tweets showing this 2025 stadium live show getting dragged. After deeming it her “worst show ever”, @honeymounz blasted lana for having the same setlist for the past three years, “hiding behind a wall for 20 plus minutes”, songs being in full playback, long interludes and a short run time at just one hour and 20 minutes. Lana was also blasted for giving “bare minimum” and “zero effort”.

The setlist criticism comes from the fact that according to Lana Del Rey initially, her album set for 2025 (which was already pushed back from the September 2024 release she initially stated) was meant to be out by the time of this tour. She’s released two singles from the record, Henry Come On and Bluebird. Bluebird isn’t even on the setlist.

Instead the setlist mostly contains songs she’s already performed in 2023 and 2024 on tour and at festivals – which has led to fans being gutted at the lack of variety when paying to see her this year.

A video is going viral which shows Lana Del Rey singing her song Salvatore, which was a fan request. She’s reading the lyrics off her phone.

Fans are fuming she sits in the house set

@agreynovember I love Lana and have been waiting to see her for soooo many years, but her disappearing off stage and letting pre-recorded songs play (NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL???) at her own STADIUM show is crazy work 😅 #lanadelrey #fyp ♬ oh my god bruh oh hell na man

People were very unhappy about how Lana Del Rey just used pre recorded playback for some big songs rather than owning the stage.

Music critics however have praised the tour immensely

One search of this Lana Del Rey tour on socials might show it getting dragged by fans, but the music critics have been wowing. And I’m not being funny, but as they bloody well should. I’m not going to this tour and as a big fan I understand the frustration of having the same set list. I cannot say I’m sad I’m missing it – except the fact Addison and Lana will be linking up in London. But at the end of the day, she’s a generational talent and every time she performs it feels so special to be witnessing it.
