could she just drop the cover and info already

Oh honey she looked like a gorgeous queen compared to that slovenly "going to the beach on my day off" -look. - - - - Okay so I've had some time to recover from last night so here we go! I'm not doing a long report but yeah. Me and my friend went to the area at about 4.30PM, wandered around and checked some acts before going to the main stage some time after 7PM to see Young Thug. And let me tell you I was hoping for it to end the whole time since some of his fans were really enthusiastic about it, which is fine but some of them kept jumping around pushing people and other stuff like that so it was quite wild. Someone jumped on my feet and at one point while I was texting I almost dropped my phone on the ground because of the pushing - needless to say, I put my cell in my pocket and kept it there for the rest of Young Thug's act lol. And the smell of weed... jesus fucking christ. Young Thug finished around 9.20PM, some people left and we got a bit closer to the stage and then there was nothing to do than wait for Lana to begin at 10.45PM. At some point someone shouted that she's live on Instagram and indeed she was but at least we couldn't really hear a thing and the stream kept stopping all the time. And soon it was time for her to start The whole thing still seems so absurd to me - I can't believe I actually saw her for the second time and I can't believe I got so close, I was already quite close to her on Paradise tour but this time around I got a few rows closer to the stage. I really was star-strucked when she came, she looked so good in that Adidas outfit, with those gorgeous leggings(?), that hair and the cute flower in it. I cried for a bit The whole show went by so fast, I took a few videos but mostly just clips, only Cherry and White Mustang in full. My cellphone's camera wasn't really friends with the blue lightning at times... You can check out Cherry and White Mustang in the end of this post. When she came down everyone went nuts and we got even closer, my friend couldn't really see a thing but I saw her hair and the flower and at one point I could've actually touched her hair if I wanted to but yeah no... that would've been kinda creepy lol. But the incident with the fan getting on the stage was much more creepy, I was recording a video and for a second I thought it was just some staff coming to adjust her equipment or something. So I got it on video but I ended filming as soon as I realized what was going on because I was so shocked and my friend was clearly shocked as well. Lana really handled it well, she kept losing her cool for a few lines which was cute but she must've been terrified. I really don't get what these people going on the stage during concerts have in their mind, it certainly doesn't give a pleasant image of you to the artist and clearly you won't be able to see the rest of the show. Jesus christ... It was cute how it seemed like she wasn't quite sure if the audience would be familiar with some of the songs, for example she was something like "I'm not sure if you know the next one, it's a couple of records old" before Shades of Cool. Same thing with the new songs. I was actually quite surprised when she told about her inspiration for Change before performing the song, I wasn't really expecting for her to open up about North Korea etc. I was a bit surprised most of the people around me weren't really singing along except for songs like Blue Jeans, Born to Die and Summertime Sadness, at least comparing to the audience at my Paradise tour show. Even during Video Games I didn't hear the people in front of me (for example) singing at all and they were in first and second row. But yeah like I mentioned earlier, the show went by really fast and she finished approximately at 12AM exact. My legs were aching the whole time since I had been standing for most of the day and hours at the main stage waiting for Lana, but I still wish her setlist would've been longer. Standard 14 songs but I wished it was more Overall I'm really happy, it was amazing even though the audience around me was a bit underwhelming I guess. Nevertheless I enjoyed it and she was really something, I'm still recovering and it all feels so god damn surreal. I wish she'll come back one day! Here are some clips and photos I took during her show! The videos are a bit shaky because my hands were somewhat shaking but yeah... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iEA_Iwf_K4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdbLyZR6ofs Edit: Last time in 2013 the reviews weren't exactly flattering, most reviews said she sort of got lost in the big props and accused of her using pre-recorded audio of the audience singing, also only paying most attention to front rows instead of the whole arena. So far the reviews I've seen about last night have been pretty good, some mentioning that her reaction to the fan coming on stage "proves she's not the ice queen she seems like" - which I could criticize a bit since in 2013 she messed up the first lines of Cola because she was laughing at the audience being so excited. Some reviews have also complimented her for her vocals and not relying on playback too heavily. Edit 2: Forgot that after she came back on stage after going down to see some of the fans, she said something like "I had to go see some of my friends, I hope you don't mind" - GIRL Also here's a professional pic where you might see the outfit better.

It was so good and she looked stunning omg I loved every second of it, and actually caught the guy coming on stage on video as well... got some pics on my insta story @jvcx96

Posted about that earlier. Not long now!!! Standing quite close omg

Today! I was already quite nervous last night but somehow still managed to get sleep, turns out that's nothing compared to how excited and nervous I am right now lol. It's 9AM and I'm not leaving until before 3PM but I'm already getting slowly ready. Edit: Lana's currently doing her soundcheck! My friend working at Flow sent me a couple of audio clips of her singing Ride. She also saw to the stage a moment ago but didn't get any pics. The stage is also quite high so I guess it's better to avoid front row if you actually want to see her when she's not down meeting fans lol

Seems like @team3xt is live streaming tomorrow's show on Instagram for you guys!

lmaooo

wtf... I've been struggling for days trying to decide whether I should go to Helsinki today and try to meet her or not. If I lived a bit closer it'd be an easy decision to make but since I'd have to take a 30-minute train trip to get there and another one back to get home, the trains alone would cost me almost 15€ and I really don't feel like spending that amount of money for possibly nothing. And the fact that I'd have to go all by myself with no company at all isn't exactly thrilling either, especially when I have no clue of Lana's whereabouts at the moment and would probably have to spend hours just hanging out in front of the hotel. I've checked today's flights coming from Oslo but she could be on any of them... assuming she is coming by the end of the day to be all set up for tomorrow and so on. I'm just trying to find updates on what she's up to on Twitter and Instagram like a maniac, not knowing what to do at all. And by the way, from what I gathered it seems like they didn't sell any of her merchandise in Oslo either. One of my friends is actually working at Flow festival and has an early shift tomorrow, so she promised to let me know if she finds out they have any merchandise up for sale. They do have a store for artist merchandise so I'm really hoping they'd have some (new) Lana stuff but I guess I should just prepare myself for nada. And if my friend gets to see her doing a soundcheck or something... The area opens at 3.30PM and apparently I'm coming soon after that, around 4PM or so - which means around 7 hours of waiting before Lana actually gets on stage Guess I'll just hang around with my friend while keeping an eye on the crowd at the main stage. Nevertheless I'll probably go wait there around the time Beth Ditto's on at 8.15PM.

yeah he better

Some girl I follow on Twitter just accidentally got to front row in front of the stairs just because some people left after whoever ended their set just a while ago. I should be so lucky on Friday tbh

well this new season seems like shit, Colton's hot tho

But that's not confirmed yet, right? At least according to some sources they haven't even considered her doing it again.

Merch reports please!

I agree with everything you're saying here but you do know Versace's just part of the American Crime Story series and not a movie, right?

I agree The Great Gatsby and Big Eyes were perfect, Young and Beautiful is one of her best songs imo. I've never cared for I Can Fly though, and honestly Once Upon a Dream is a fucking snoozefest these days. But yeah I hope they'll ask Lana to do the next Bond theme, I've been hoping for that for years and I don't understand why they haven't even reached out to her yet - didn't she say so in an interview, also saying she'd definitely do it? I mean come on, if Sam Smith can do a Bond theme... it's time for them to improve their theme game a lot. Also wouldn't mind if Lana did another track for Tim Burton or one for Tarantino.

Getting ready for our festivals three days left for me girls!

There's a thread about what kind of a persona she might be creating for this new record on the Björk forum, and someone posted "i like the transition between moth and bird. moth are intensely sexual but they are trapped and kinda vagabond u know, dark sexuality. birds they are instintive and can take decisions. they can fly to paradise if they want to", moth referencing to some of her Vulnicura era outfits etc. I find this quite interesting
