If you want the secret to success, Lana Del Rey might suggest building a devout fan base so strong that you can sell out a stadium tour nearly 15 years after your first hit single.
This week, you’ll probably notice public transport filling up with thousands of girls in white dresses, cowboy boots, and flower crowns. They’re not heading to a midsommar ritual – they’re just going to see Lana Del Rey at Wembley. Over her expansive career, Lana has cultivated a strong aesthetic and an extensive back catalogue, both of which are being celebrated at her current UK stadium tour.
Although some thought that Lana’s intimate, personal ballads might not be suited to the roaring stadium crowds, the American darling has received positive reviews throughout her tour, which began in Cardiff last week. Now, she’s taking it to the capital for two nights at Wembley Stadium.
Here’s everything you need to know about Lana Del Rey at London’s Wembley Stadium this week.
When is Lana Del Rey playing Wembley?
Lana will play two huge nights at Wembley stadium on Thursday, July 3 and Friday, July 4. This is the grand finale to her first ever UK stadium tour, so you can expect it to be pretty special.
What time will Lana Del Rey come on stage?
Doors will open for this concert at 5pm, with Lana due to appear on stage at 8.30pm on July 3, and 9pm on July 4, due to the change in curfew on the weekend. Lana is known for not always sticking exactly to schedule, so don’t worry if you don’t see her at 9pm on the dot. She will be there, and she will put on a great show.
Are there any tickets left?
If you’re looking for last minute tix, you might be in luck. There are a few, very limited, seated tickets left for both nights, although there are more for July 3. Failing that, there’s also a few resale tickets floating about on Ticketmaster, so we recommend having a look on there and seeing what you can get.
Lana Del Rey tickets can be purchased here.
How much do tickets cost?
You’re going to be hard pressed to find a ticket for less than £100 at this short notice. Most seats are going for anywhere between £106 and £202, but it depends where you are in the venue and how restricted your view is.
What’s the setlist?
There has been some contention from fans around the setlist, particularly because it contains a couple of covers and a couple of tracks sung by a hologram of Lana. You can’t say she doesn’t keep us on our toes. Regardless, there’s still plenty of hits and loads to get excited about in this lineup.

Who will be supporting Lana Del Rey in London?
Londoners, you’re very lucky, because during Lana’s shows in the capital she will be supported by Addison Rae. This will be one of Addison’s first performances in the UK since the release of her acclaimed debut album, and she is definitely the perfect person to warm the crowd up for a night of hazy, sultry, tunes.
Addison is due to start her set at 7.15pm.
