hello I'm back and I think I'm alive!!! long ass post below, brace yourselves! I just don't know if I have words to describe exactly the roller coaster of emotions that was to be there. it was definitely the most intense experience of my life and a night I'll never forget, I feel so blessed to have witnessed the absolute HERSTORY being made in front of my eyes. 11 long years waiting to finally get the chance to see her live and I feel like it was just worth the wait, nothing could've prepared us for what was about to come and I just feel extremely lucky for that to be my first lana show! as soon as she hit the stage wearing the blonde marilyn/lizzy wig I thought I was gonna pass out. I never screamed so loud in my life. the lizzy stans were not paid dust, we were paid GOLD. the backing vocalists, the stage design, the whole ass ballet crew, the outfit AND hair change, the choreographies, the interludes, the career visuals on the screen behind her, her vocals!!! truly unbelieavable. all the time I could hear people around me in shock she was serving that much production!! I was nervous about not knowing the setlist beforehand but now I can say I'm glad I didn't, it really was the best thing ever to find it out right there at the time, SO MUCH FUN. she fucking slayed in every way possible. the setlist was random but so iconic I could not believe it. sure it was a bit of a bummer we still had several BTD tracks, no honeymoon and chemtrails tracks and the erasure of west coast and HBTB but honestly she performed fucking FLIPSIDE!!!! I lost my mind. singing "SO YOU THINK YOU'RE IN CHARGE??? DO YOU??? ACTING LIKE A BIG SHOT!!!!" was sOOOOO satisfying after so many years of her ignoring this song completely. I was SUPER excited for DMD and it was better than what I expected it to be, I need that version on streaming!!! the backing vocalists slayed so hard and they looked like angels, especially during bartender!!! just top notch chef's kiss so fucking good but the biggest highlight of it all was lana's attitude. it just made me so happy, sosososo happy to see her the most confident and excited we have ever seen her on stage. I think the 4 years far from the stage was the best thing that could've happened, I don't remember seeing her so happy and eager to perform, she looked she could perform for 3 hours straight if she could. her happiness and love for our country is so genuine and I swear nothing else was more beautiful than seeing that. she looked very emotional a few times and everytime I saw her eyes glowing like she was about to cry I felt like crying too. that being said I cried my ass off during the grants (my mom too omg) and tunnel. it really was just like how imagined it to be, everyone emotional af screaming "LIKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIIIIIGHHHH THE WAY JOHN DENVER SINGS" and "DON'T FORGET MEEEEE", a whole ass del rey church mass, amazing. also, seeing a bif of the diversity in this fandom filled my hear with joy. I went with my mom and we ended up meeting so many cool people, people from aaaalllll over the country, people who worked their asses off to travel from far away to see her! like, everyone I talked to did not live here in the city or anywhere close to here. also saw so many daughters with their mothers/fathers too just like me, older siblings with their younger siblings... it was so cute to see, honestly. also, so many goths and metalheads, lana really breaks the barrier, she IS the moment. I can't wait to see what else she'll do during the rest of the tour!!!! I feel like she'll change a few tracks of the setlist, so I'm still hopeful to see tracks like honeymoon being played live, we definitely need it! anything is possible! the sky is the limit!!! NOOOWW back to this bitch that that's this festival... MITA WHAT'S GOOD??? if it wasn't for everything I've mentioned above, I swear this festival would've delivered me the worst experience. from the get go, as soon as they started to sell tickets, you'll only see people either complaining or dragging them on social media and everyone is right. I hope this joke of a festival will never happen again and I really hope next time lana will come with a solo tour or at least with a festival that will actually respect her and her fans, because the amount of fuckery that was going on with this festival is truly unbelieavable. starting with the unnecessary gigantic VIP section (the existence of this VIP section actually), the big screens that had an awful delay and the audio that was actually so low for a big show like that. not to mention them basically disrespecting the only reason this festival sold out tickets by cutting her set off. overall a cash grab in everything. Music Is The Answer? no, MONEY Is The Answer and I want the owners of this festival to fucking CHOKE on my imaginary dick. lana definitely developed some type of back problems after carrying this whole festival on her back like the true QUEEN that she is. but despite all of the issues, I would do it all over again and I recommend everyone going even if it's in the middle of the chaotic GA. I swear to you nothing gets bigger than the emotion of seeing lana live. the end, thanks for reading!!!!

Did we watch the same thing???????? There were some issues at the very beginning but she absolutely SLAYED the rest of her set. Her vocals on Arcadia, the grants, and candy necklace were incredible and some of her best to date live.

Her giant smile when the crowd started screaming along to The Grants That was incredible. She absolutely killed it. Something about her nervousness, and the gradual uptick in confidence, is just so endearing.

Just a question, do you think anything you post on Lanaboards will ever be positive?

More photos:

I know she’s not the most extroverted, but honestly watching the start so far, she belongs on stage. It’s been so long and the crowd seems so respectful and entranced. Brazil’s audience looks so grateful and cherishing it’s all so beautiful to watch

ok but this picture

This concert was everything. What an honor to be her fan.

Come THRU Lanaboards Bureau Of Investigation !!!!!!

somewhere halfway through the show it almost seemed like something clicked back into place and she seemed so in her element again, like she was kinda nervous at the beginning but like she loved being up there by the end of it and she didn't wanna go

this fr had me cackling last night

she was so playful I love the energy, the little side comments, the vape, the dances/ production details, and then the little comment about the outro honestly iconic

This and when she turned to watch a compilation of her old work

You Got Me Spinning Like A Ballerina, You’re The Bad Boy That I Always Dreamed Of - You’re The King And Baby I’m The Queen Of Disaster IS COMING

omg throwback so cute

+ performing some of her most personal songs, after a massive hate train and after releasing 3 albums during a pandemic. lana does so much and it seems like some ppl just want to complain.

I really thought she sounded amazing... Of course, she was nervous because it was the first show in years (and with such a huge crowd) so she had a few stumbles here and there, but overall she sounded really good You could see she was building up her confidence as the show went on... so maybe she will be even better next show!

honestly so happy she's back to performing - no matter the setlist just getting to see her perform and look like she's enjoying it too is just living in the best timeline fr

The entire show was put together very professionally, and it looked like a headliner's set. I agree, 'Arcadia' was pitch-perfect, and I'm glad she included it. I was also especially happy to see 'Born to Die' included, one of my favorites. If I had been there, I would have been very pleased with that set. I don't expect her live vocals to be perfect, and I think she sounded good compared to some other live performances I've seen. Onwards and upwards. Look how the audience knew all the words to every song. I bet even in China they'd know all the words. And she looked great.

she probably can hit her old notes too, she either just needs retraining or she just chooses not to because its easier for her i think she put on an amazing show last night and she is clearly alot happier having the singers on stage. we should be grateful shes still touring despite the fact we know she doesnt enjoy it too much i loved it

Xenoblade is so insufferable, personally I think they should be banned

I don't think I'll ever understand the point in being on this site if all you're here to do is complain about Lana Like there's genuinely no reason for you to be on a fan site for somebody you very obviously don't like. Anyways, I really loved this show, especially with it being her first one in 3 and a half years. I'm still in shock about Flipside being on the setlist though. That was probably the craziest part of the night and I loved it so much

It was meant to have an outro though, so we’re not sure how it was meant to play out.. maybe the vision will become clear next week! Tbf I think video games is a good closer.. it’s full circle from where she started, and the sentiment is still the same but different, she endures the fame for the love of her fans

So I was at MITA last night and was so lovely to finally see Lana after 10 years! I was really happy that she sang Flipside, Ultraviolence and Cherry - my favorites. Also I was under the feeling I was a part of something really special being in her first concert in years. I could see she was very emotional and happy. Unfortunatelly since I was so far from the stage I couldn't hear her too well, her mic sound was very low and honestly the parts I was able to hear the most was the playback parts. She was 20 minutes late and the outfit change took so long, as a result we endend up having shorten versions of the songs... Anyway was a great night but I was there at the Paradise tour concert in Rio back in 2013 and her singing was much better then, I was able to hear her voice perfectly and I was so close to the stage, so I at least have one great concert of hers to cherish. But I'm sure the folks who were very close to the stage last night probably had a totally different experience than I had.

i swear it's always the lana stans that hate on anything she does, if you open any social media you'll see how everyone loved the concert

Some of y’all (a VERY VERY select few) will legit never be happy with anything Lana does. “Her voice is ruined” “her vocals were shit” “she sounded weak” “she sounded nervous”. Can we not just appreciate the fact that she’s returned to the stage after 3 years, especially when she’s naturally a very nervous performer in general, and given an amazing performance? Like atp I wonder why some of y’all are fans if you just want to nitpick everything L does like you’re her music teacher or something

I think it was a great set. lana will never be able to please everyone since she has so many songs already and so many won’t be played / sung very often live (too wordy, too slow…) when she sings live, I always look for the song she never sang live before and I’m almost never disappointed. Flipside being recognized : 🤯 also: a couple of tracks from OB… I’m shocked.

this is the kind of energy i need for the next release 360BRAT mixtape ***all made up for vibes obvs 01. Barbie Girl (360BRAT) 02. Platform Sprint (Fuck U) [feat. Bree Runway] 03. Biscuits (feat. Ice Spice, PinkPantheress, & CupcaKke) 04. Speed Drive 05. Blood Money (feat. Tommy Cash & ABRA) 06. Cyber Girl In A Cyber World (feat. Grimes) 07. Stunner (feat. Ava Max, Kim Petras, & Hannah Diamond) 08. Murder On The Dancefloor 09. Crying Stars (feat. Dua Lipa) 10. Vitality (feat. Shygirl)

exactly like she was so nervous at the beginning, the mic wasn't working right, some problem with her dress etc and then she didn't want to leave Her last notes on Video Games were amazing she looked so satisfied. I think she really missed being on stage so happy for her

One of the best moments of the night

her face when the crowd started singing The Grants... I don't think she ever imagined they would love that song so much.

I think we witnessed HERstory. It was the first edition of this new set/show, and it might need some adjustments here and there, but this is a pretty important and noticeable departure from her previous format. I loved the theatrics and how she now has actual back singers on stage as opposed to that loud backtrack. The setlist was good, although some songs are long overdue for retirement, and singing like 1 minute of A&W and NFR was a choice—overall it wasn't that bad song-wise. I get that it's a festival and time is an issue, but it kinda felt too condensed at times. I hope she keeps up with that energy, she really looked like she enjoyed herself and, dare I say, she never looked this comfortable on stage.

bye im pretty sure she will replace Flipside with smth else because of the locals that didnt even know A SINGLE LINE literally everybody on this site but you

Some more pictures & videos -

I've been watching tiktoks from this performance and constantly crying all day She looks SO happy to be in her element again, with her fans, singing her heart out omg

watching again the grants performance was such a highlight– esp to see her so obviously FEELING the music onstage in a way it felt she hadn't for a long time. wish she'd done the whole song! that followed by flipside was just incredible <3 in general just so lovely to see her connected to performing live again. also dying to know who made her heels! they are so cute and she rocked the shit out of her whole look...still rocking the best legs in the game

also can we just point out lennon in the back truthers won? i knew we could do it girlies

Literally. Acting like they paid for the festival ticket.

Brightsun I’m so disappointed….. Never would have expected this. If you want to retire just say it!!

Tunnel Snow On The Beach (x2) Say Yes To Heaven (version we’ve never heard) Queen Of Disaster (I’m delusional and set on this songs release for Barbie) Lost At Sea Hollywood Bowl ”Bittersweet Anthem” we are eating so much this year

Some nice suprises on the setlist! FUCKING FLIPSIDE FINALLY!!! A lot of duds but the overall production, the renditions, and backdrop imagery have me fucking SHOOK! Lana doing costume changes…are you kidding me?! While there are still a few things I would change, it’s still such a massive improvement to her last few shows.

i get why the audience is crying, so am i

SHE DID FLIPSIDE BITCHHHHHH THE WAY ITS MY FAVE LANA SONG IF SHE DOES THIS AT HYDE PARK IM SCATTING

When Bittersweet Anthem is just National Anthem’s violin intro is replaced by Bittersweet Symphony violin sample .

Ok as the #1 Arcadia stan I’m so glad she performed it. I’ve always loved the vocals on that track so I’m glad others are enjoying a little more now. The show was so great and I’m so so excited for next week

Crack is wack

The transition from The Grants to Flipside literally sent chills down my back
