    So I've put a lot of opening acts for Lana's concerts on Lana Del Rey Wiki, and I'm trying to make it as complete as I can, but there are still lots of shows that I'm not sure who opened, had no opening act, or were a festival. The point of this thread is to find out who opened at all of her shows. If you attended the show and remember, or know from any other source or memory, please leave it below! Thank you 
     
    You can view the opening acts me and other Lana Del Rey Wikia members have added on these pages in the opening acts column:
     
    Born to Die Tour - Lana Del Rey Wiki
    Paradise Tour - Lana Del Rey WIki
    Endless Summer Tour - Lana Del Rey Wiki
     
    And for the 2016 festival tour there was two opening acts (Max Jury opened for her at the Montreux Jazz Festival and Aloe Blacc in Locarno)
     
    All of the dates without opening acts or unknown opening acts have a "N/A" in the opening act column.
     
    Not gonna type all of them here that's time consuming

    Have fun! It will be a religious life changing experience and hopefully she'll be performing her new songs by then.

    "Video Games"

     



     

    The song that started it all; a moody, dramatically romantic 5-minute ballad about “letting go of [her] musical ambitions and settling down into a simple life with a person [she] loved”.

     

    Written by Lana Del Rey herself, composed by Justin Parker (who worked with Ellie Goulding, Rihanna and Sia right after collaborating with Del Rey) and produced by Daniel Omelio and Brandon Lowry (Robopop), “Video Games” features haunting sustained piano chords, gentle strings, subtle electronic elements, passionate vocals and some of her finest lyrics to date, introducing us to the Lana Del Rey world: beautiful, innocent women terribly in love with bad guys.

     

    “Video Games” was an instant classic. “I knew right away that it was a pretty epic piece of work and that it would put her on the map and define her as an artist,” Omelio said back in 2012. “It was such a heartfelt and real piece of music, that I felt sure that people would connect with it right away.” And it definitely did; it went Top 10 in twelve European countries and even hit No. 1 in Germany and Luxembourg. This long, dreamy lullaby performed so well in the continent that it is considered to be one of most successful songs ever in France.

    “I would play my songs [to my label], explain what I was trying to do, and I’d get ‘You know who is No. 1 in 13 countries right now? Kesha,” Lana told T Magazine. “It was too dark, too personal, too risky, not commercial. It wasn’t pop until it was on the radio.” That’s exactly what this song and the whole Lana Del Rey persona did: she turned what it was risky, anti-EDM into the mainstream. Suddenly, slower songs hit the charts on which Katy Perry and Lady Gaga were dominating. An entire indie culture met the pop world and transformed into a sudden obsession for “retro vibes”, visual and musical textures and post-Born to Die kids like Halsey and Lorde.

     

    Its iconic video, a “moving collage” as described as Dazed, was just so brilliantly simple that the industry and general public started to conspire; Did she really edit this video herself? How did she get a contract with a major label? Is her dad a millionaire? Are her lips real? She’s not a feminist.

     

    Lana Del Rey was then a young woman opening her heart to the whole world. Yes, “It’s all for you / Everything I do”, “Only worth living if somebody is loving you” – among other lines – could come off as controversial, but she’s just another human being deeply, wrongly in love. Of course men are able to sing about dying over perfect bodies and great sex with multiple women, but Del Rey wishing to spend her life with an unrequited love is a bad example to young girls.

     

    At the end of the day, “Video Games” was just a taste of what was yet to come: the most interesting and unique female artist of the 2010s. A modern classic Del Rey should always be proud of.

    If she does another amphitheater tour for this album it will be during the summer, it's too risky to do outdoor concerts in fall and winter because of weather. So if she doesn't do a summer amphitheater tour I guess she'll do an arena tour or tour in 2018 instead. (or just another festival tour but lets not consider that)

    I believe it's the promotional single cover. Not sure if it's official though.
