The ‘Ride’ singer is set to perform at Leeds today (August 25) at 7.30pm. In a statement posted on Instagram Stories , it reads: “Due to an error by the Reading production team we accidentally cut Lana Del Rey’s incredible set short by 5 mins, we apologise unreservedly to Lana and her fans.
” Del Rey showed up roughly 15 minutes late to her set which was slated for an 8.00pm start. To kick off her performance, she treated the rowdy crowd to a shortened version of her 2019 track ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell’.
“Hello Reading, hello London. Look at this crowd,” she said before jumping into ‘Arcadia’, ‘Without You’, and ‘West Coast’. After wrapping up her set with ‘Video Games’, the singer announced “Thank you so much Reading, thank you.
We are going to sing a couple more songs. As long as we can until they pull us off.” Unfortunately, it was then that the festival had cut her set by accident.
She then sat on stage and watched fireworks go off. See fan footage of the moment below. Lana’s set gets awkwardly cut short, her: ‘love that ✌️🙂✌️’ #ReadingFestival2024 #LanaDelRey pic.
