    a lana concert is always fun and of course the majority of attendees won't be going in knowing which songs to expect, but i honestly feel like part of what makes this setlist feel less impactful is how its ordered, it feels a bit random and doesn't flow quite as well and the peaks and valleys are just not where they should be, y'know? like if the setlist was the same but in this order, i feel like it would be a little better:

    that being said.... man, this setlist is just not good. the 2023 setlist wasn't perfect but it was better than this, right? is it just me who thinks that? :assad: not an actual complaint because i'm so so excited to be witnessing this setlist live later this year bc i love lana so it's gonna be amazing regardless! and i get to hear without you and doin time likeeeee that's a slay!! but idk... some minor quibbles / explanations as to why i have an issue w the current setlist:

    • i can't help but feel like lana should be performing at least 20 songs. is that unreasonable? even if she shortened some songs so that she didn't get completely exhausted or whatever idk i just feel like 18 songs is not enough (and they're not even all full-length songs either)
    • we need more ocean blvd songs im sorry i know we should stop expecting newer material bc we know how lana works but :tiffany2: playing only THREE ocean blvd songs (and two of them are shortened!!) is WILD, especially when she gave us a full live-band version of peppers before and it sounded amazing and was a breath of fresh air on the setlist - it should have a permanent spot! and not singing let the light in is craaaaazy given its success! candy necklace was a highlight for me when i saw it performed at hyde park last year, but i could've forgiven its removal from the setlist if there was another OB song added to replace it, but there's not! so why remove the song when it sounded soooo good and came from the most recent record!? just crazy. i'll take judah smith interlude live at this point if that's what it takes to get more OB content on the setlist idc
    • as much as i complain about the same old songs on the setlist, no blue jeans feels criminal - yes it's been around for a while but it's a classic and a good sing-along moment
    • summertime sadness def isn't my favourite or most anticipated song, but it's such a huge moment - it needs to come later in the setlist
    • setlist doesn't flow well - jimmy jimmy cocoa puff is so out of place after the intense weight of HIADT, it's like sonic and emotional whiplash
    • young & beautiful's jazz outro is cute but the song itself is not enough of a climax to be a strong closer
    • i'm more than happy for lana to have plenty of ballads on the setlist because they sound beautiful and they're such a significant part of her discography, but... i'm so sorry call me basic and a fake fan but i can't help feeling like the show needs a shot of energy and a tempo change every now and then. these fun songs literally exist in lana's discography too, including on her most recent albums, that's the baffling thing - i wouldn't expect her to give us a setlist full of pussy poppers, but lana has plenty of these more upbeat (or even mid-to-up-tempo) songs, so why not play a couple more!? diet mountain dew was soooo fun last year, or there's always brooklyn baby / OTTR / burning desire / PEPPERS !!! / summer bummer / get free / taco truck x vb / black bathing suit / lolita / fuck it i love you / high by the beach / florida kilos....
    • ironically, i also feel like she could switch up her ballads a little bit too. it would be cool for the slot after ride to be kinda like a surprise each time, maybe rotating between arcadia / LMLYLAW  / old money / HIAB / american / cherry blossom / sweet / is this happiness or something
    • a new medley would be cool just to give us the chance to hear some more songs, even if it was just a little of each song
    • this is probs an unpopular opinion, but you know how everyone is bored of bartender? well... that's how i feel about pretty when you cry :creep:

     

    anyway, just having a little rant - realistically i'll be screaming and crying regardless of the setlist :omfg2:

    what a cute question!! i used to work 15 hour shifts as a hotel receptionist and i'd get the 23:30 train home and obviously i'd be super tired at that point, but listening to If You Lie Down With Me on my journey home looking at all the amber street lights and anticipating being able to take off my high heels after those long tiring days always soothed me :flutter:

    devastatingly, i was due to fly to barcelona this afternoon but this morning my kitty became severely unwell so i had to rush her to the vets, she needs constant supervision every day for the next three weeks in case she gets worse so now i won’t be able to attend the festival :aw: i’m seeing lana at leeds fest so that’s a little bit of a saving grace for me, but i’m so sad to be missing out! but i hope everybody has the BEST time and i hope everyone that’s going has a nice tasty spanish beer for me while lana sings!! <3

     

    i’ll be selling my weekend festival ticket so if anybody from lanaboards wants first dibs pls feel free to message me! <3

    I hope she has some guests since every show so far has had some 

    mitski is performing the day after her, i'd love for lana to bring her out and for them to sing 'my love all mine' together, that always felt very lana-esque to me and i think that would be beautiful (even if it is unlikely) :flutter: she's also been bringing out a lot of up and coming artists that are popular with the tiktok generation, maybe for future guest spots we can expect something in that vein - noah kahan maybe? i have no doubt she'll bring out mason ramsey at some point! and since we got peppers, maybe one day soon we'll get let the light in w/ father john :pray2: please god

     

    edit: wait why do i feel like she'll bring out like.... lewis capaldi at leeds fest :rip:

     

    in my delusional mind she's gonna bring out yung lean or bladee either at primavera or at leeds fest just for me

    but for rn i feel like she should drop some fun stand alone tracks (even like a 3 track EP) to keep us fed/until she figures where LASSO is going…

    i think this a great idea just bc of the immense momentum and public interest she has right now! it could keep interest piqued for her next project and also give her some fun new tracks to perform at her upcoming shows one of those things is more likely than the other

    Which I think it's good because it means she wants to keep doing her own thing, which is exactly why she's one of the GOATs.

    I'd go full jazz/electronica/trap if I were her but I'm sure whatever decision she makes will pay off creatively. I just don't see it coming anytime soon. She's now living the things that are probably inspiring her into writing new material.

    absolutely agreed! if being singular and standing out from mainstream pop is important to her (which, like you, i’m sure it is!) i think now might be a good time to put out a shoegaze, trip hop or acid jazz inspired album, bc i just have this weird feeling that these will be the next major influences in pop music over the next year or two. it would be great if she could get there early and put her own stamp on it before it becomes the next big trend, since she likely feels that now is a little late for a full country album!

    i think lana is genuinely concerned about looking like a trend hopper (“four major artists announced country albums”) so i think the country thing has probs been shelved for now :( which is unfortunate bc i think it would’ve slayed but i’m just excited she’s feeling a bit more playful and melodic for the next record !!
