Absolutely!
How could I forget about 'Boarding School', lol. A Lana classic among TikTok fans (which includes actual kids in school, who surprisingly loves the lyrics)
Something I have noticed is how younger generations tend to really like and praise 'Blue Banisters' (album) which is sweet and surprising. I have a 13 year old cousin who was born just when "Born to Die" was released and now she has a whole Lana playlist on Spotify including deep cuts like 'Living Legend'.
Yes, I do feel old as hell, but isn't it amazing how Lana has stood the test of times, like classic and iconic artists like David Bowie and Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac do.
Edit: Mistakes fixed! If there's anything else, please do tell me. I also added her upcoming show in Little Rock even it wasn't officially announced yet!
Hello LanaBoards.
As requested by many, I decided to make a Lana Del Rey tour world map; that is, the complete list of cities and countries where Lana has toured.
Lana Del Rey has performed in 151 cities in 38 countries across North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. She's never toured in Africa or Antarctica.
Full list of cities
Full list of countries
Lana's most visited country in the world is, obviously, the United States of America, with over 100 concerts in 61 cities across 35 states. However, her most visited city in the world is London with 11 dates in total, followed by Los Angeles (10) and Paris (8).
Let's take a look at each continent...
North America & South America
In the Americas, Lana has performed in 73 cities across 7 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and the United States. If we ignore the US, her most visited country in the continent is Canada with 8 dates in total, followed by Mexico (8, if we include her upcoming shows) and Brazil (6).

Asia & Australia
In Asia, Lana has toured only twice: Byblos, Lebanon and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. She was also set to perform in Japan and Israel but both got canceled.
In 2012, she performed at a private event in Shanghai, China and at a radio station in Singapore, but has never given a proper concert in these countries.
In Australia, she has given concerts in Adelaide, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Melbourne and Sydney. She has never performed in New Zealand.

Through the years
The Born to Die Tour (2012) saw Lana performing mostly in Western Europe. Her first concert in the Northern region took place in Norway. In Southern Europe, she perfomed in Spain and Portugal, while Switzerland was the only Central country to be included (I'm taking Germany as Western). In the United States and Canada, the tour had a limited run in Toronto, New York City and West Hollywood in the Los Angeles County.
For the Paradise Tour (2013-14), her most extensive world tour, Lana and her team made sure to include as many countries as possible. Beside a full visit through Western Europe and the United Kingdom, Lana came back to Northern Europe to perform in Norway once again and debut in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. In the Southern region, she visited Italy, Spain and Greece. The tour also had an extensive run through Central and Eastern Europe, performing for the first time in Czechia, Austria, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Turkey and Russia, as well as previously visited Switzerland. To this date, Lana has never properly returned to this region of Europe.
The tour saw Lana performing for the first time in Asia, specifically in Lebanon. It also marked her long-awaited live debut in Latin America, visiting Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. As for North America, Lana did an extensive American leg through the United States, as well as a few dates in Canada.
Following the success of the North American leg of the Paradise Tour, The Endless Summer Tour (2014) had dates only in the United States and Canada. It was her first and only tour to not include any date outside of the region.
The Endless Summer Tour
In 2016, Lana embarked on her first festival tour in support of Honeymoon. The tour was taken to many high-profile festivals such as Lollapalooza, Montreux Jazz, Outside Lands and Corona Capital. It kicked off in Europe with 2 dates in Switzerland, then France, Greece and Monaco. They were followed by the US, Canada, came back to Europe for one single show in Ireland and then finished the tour in Mexico.
In 2017, as part of the promotional campaign for Lust for Life, Lana embarked on a 9-date festival run in the US, England, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Poland and France, headlining the first-ever Lollapalooza Paris.
The LA to the Moon Tour (2018) was Lana's first proper world tour since Paradise. Kicking off in the US and Canada, Lana came back to South America to perform in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Colombia. She also returned to Australia after 6 years, offering shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. The tour finished with a limited European leg in Italy, Germany, Spain, Czechia and Hungary. The tour did not include any dates in the United Kingdom, France, Mexico or Northern Europe.
LA to the Moon Tour
In 2019, Lana did another 9-date festival run, which included dates in the USA, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Portugal, Spain, England and Switzerland. Months later, following the release of Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Lana embarked on its tour, visiting once again the US and Canada and made her live debut in the United Arab Emirates. The tour was set to continue across South America and Europe but got canceled in early 2020 due to the covid-19 pandemic.
The Ocean Blvd Tour (2023-24) [fan-made name] marked the return of Lana Del Rey to the stage. The tour is comprised of festivals and solo shows, kicking off with 2 dates in Brazil, followed by a short Western European leg which included a triumphant comback to London and Paris. The tour saw Lana performing in Québec and headlining Lollapalooza Chicago for the very first time and she's set to do 4 stadium dates in Mexico. Late 2023 / 2024 dates coming soon.
honestly these days when it's a lot more of morphing yourself to be liked and making yourself more digestable to whomever, I just love so much that she's so unafraid of being herself. and it seems ironic cus she's got all this makeup and diff looks going on, but strangely enough, it's just genuine expression and I love that.
dealing w your shadow side, and understanding that you're not all sunshine all the time, but allowing yourself permission and acknowledging that that might be a part of you, really does help humanize you and I think that's a powerful thing.
you shouldn't have to be perfect, you just have to be the most yourself if that makes sense.
Lana Del Rey and the Vogue Italia interview
“ I felt like a car crash, with people who couldn't help but stop to spy on what had happened”
After a series of perfectly successful albums and a career that has consecrated her as an icon of these years, Lana Del Rey is ready to enter a new era. She talks about it in this interview, between an upcoming album, the mystical winds of the West Coast and love as a symbol of hope.
Lana Del Rey opens up about herself in an interview with Vogue Italia: “People used to think my lyrics were a problem, but now all singers “peel” their hearts like they were an apple” At a certain point in her youth, Elizabeth Grant watched the lights of Lake Placid in Essex County flicker and fade through shimmering streamers for the last time. She would see them again, after moving to New York and then London, before returning to become known to everyone as Lana Del Rey. “I have this old video of a boyfriend talking to me in the car, from a long time ago. He was just pretending I’m doing an interview after I’ve become famous. I remember I was very myself in that moment, not defensive. He asks me what I would have done if I hadn’t become a singer. This is the way I’d ever open a movie about my life.” But in recent years, she’s been hoping no one would ever get the idea to make it. “There are so many reasons why. I feel like those movies are made for people that want they’re made. And there’s so much people don’t know, because there’s so much of my life I don’t want to say. Maybe I’ll make it on my own”.
I’m talking to Elizabeth – Lizzy to her father, Lana to the world that worships her like a saint – while she’s at LAX in a gray tank top, her hair blonde from the August sun and salt air, though she’s thinking of going “back to dark” again by the end of the year. “I just caught up with Charlie (her brother, Charles) and his wife. It’s a good time for me, he’s good, and my sister’s good too. It’s easier to be positive when the family's doing well”. A few days later, Lana would fly out to Paris and the Reading & Leeds Festival in England, delivering one of the most intense performances of the new tour, including the part when her mic cut out and she stayed on stage, quietly watching the fireworks.
Celebrated artist, icon, cinnamon girl, sad girl, Alessandro Michele’s muse for Gucci, trailblazer of alternative pop, and creator of a distinct “Old Hollywood” aesthetic that has surrounded her since her debut in 2012 at the age of 27 with Born to Die. Lana Del Rey has grown up with stories that have become our stories because, in a sense, she’s shaped them for us. By putting herself at the heart of her own experiences, she found the inspiration to turn them into harmony, becoming the voice of a generation. She’s aiming to do it again with Lasso, her new album born from the time she spent between Mississippi and Arkansas, although, as we speak, it’s still in the making and might even end up with a different name. “It had too much ‘American storytelling flair’. I put it on hold because I didn’t recognize myself in it. Originally, me and the label were excited because the energy of the music of the album was meant to reflect my new life. Now, I’m not so sure, but I’m usually pretty good with my own timing. I might turn it into something more ‘Southern gothic,’ like it was meant to be from the start, and less country.” Recently, when she listens to singles like Ride and Video Games, tracks that gave her fans enough to build entire personalities around, she feels a certain disconnect. “I’m entering a new era. It happened also with Chemtrails Ovet the Country Club and Blue Banisters, I made these albums by myself. It has a lot to do with living in Oklahoma and feeling different. My eyes have seen so many open spaces, I’ve felt the wind, and that’s the kind of energy I want to talk about now.”
“Beautiful, mysterious, haunting, invariably fatal. Just like life.” That was the tagline for The Virgin Suicides, released in 1999 by Sofia Coppola, one of Del Rey’s favorite films. She seems to have always shared the same lens through which Coppola portrays young women trying to stay alive. “We met one summer through Gia Coppola, her cousin. Gia’s good friends with my friends, they all have kids who play together. Sofia asked me to write a couple of songs for a film she was directing, Priscilla. I was thrilled, but like always, when I’ve got a deadline, I waited until the last minute.” She couldn’t make the deadline, but watching the film about Mrs. Presley, who has been a source of inspiration for Del Rey since the beginning – her hair and makeup at the 2013 Echo Music Awards, her languid and dreamy approach to life – she saw a parallel with her own work. “I think of my songs as if they were films. Flashbacks, cuts, memories, with a monologue that’s running. Cinema was always a family thing. I think back to childhood, all these people with giant cameras filming me, my sister and my brother. They captured all my every single Christmas. And my sister became a talented photographer. She’s the one behind most of the images you see of me.”
The images in this spread, though, were shot by Steven Meisel in New York and inspired by a shoot he did with Sofia Coppola for Vogue Italia in 2014. It’s safe to say this represents a personal milestone for Del Rey, because ever since she was a teenager, she’d find any way to get to the biggest city beyond Lake Placid just to buy a copy of our magazine: “My friends and I used to call it Vogue Italy, and we’d pin the photos up on our bedroom walls. I remember thinking: if something happened and I ever became somebody, I’d want to be photographed by Meisel, because he follows his intuition like I do, when he’s ready you need to be ready too. And I waited, and waited and waited. On set, we listened to Giorgio Moroder’s soundtrack for Paul Schrader’s Cat People.”
This is her second Vogue cover, following her first shot by Steven Klein in 2019. “Back then, I wondered if those photos would have been approved by Franca Sozzani and Francesco (Carrozzini, whom she dated from 2014 to 2015, ed.).” She smiles.
In the car, when that guy asked her in that short video she still keeps, she replied that she couldn’t imagine doing anything other than singing. “I was the leader of my church choir from the time I was 12. I lived in this tiny town with 700 people. We moved there when I was a year old, and I went to school with the same people. At 15, I had the craziest and most wonderful time. It was the first time I was allowed to go out alone, to make mistakes, to dream. I started taking on those jobs you do when you’re still a kid, waitressing, hostessing. I was so excited that I could even see my whole life in Lake Placid. But I wanted a life as a singer.” Then she ended up at a new private school in Duluth, Minnesota, “the coldest city in America”. Elizabeth Grant didn’t know anyone, and it was the worst time of her life. So she escaped to New York, where the indie rock of Phosphorescent and Edward Sharpe, The Strokes, and Tv on the Radio ruled the club scene that she was also performing in, without anyone paying attention. From age 19 to 25, she lived in the Bronx and Brooklyn, “one of my darkest periods”, until, after a series of managers – “two more young and two more famous and old” – she met Ben Mawson and moved to London. “My aesthetic, my desider, nothing of that had changed from the years in New York. I was still calling myself Lizzy Grant, but I could feel something different was happening.” Because Lana Del Rey wasn’t born as a defense mechanism against the world. She emerged instead from a love of the atmospheres of New Orleans and the West Coast, where she now drives for hours, surrendering to the same Western skies captured by Wim Wenders, singing about her body like it’s a map of the Sierra Madre (Arcadia, 2021). “When I was a kid, I didn’t know much about music, but I knew a lot about actresses. And I wanted the name of an actress.” Ergo, Lana, as in Lana Turner. And Del Rey, as in Delray Beach, Florida. “It was as if the ocean were already built into my name.”
After nine incredible albums, a poetry collection, and a definitive consecration on TikTok by a new generation of fans who have devoured her latest release (Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd), at 39 Lana Del Rey no longer feels any pressure. She speaks in a calm, assured voice, fully aware that everything that has led her this far has led her back to herself. “People used to think my lyrics were problematic, but now every singer is spilling away their hearts. I think that’s a good thing. Maybe if I’d started now instead of 12 years ago, I’d be a real poet of pain and wouldn’t have suffered so much.” There’s always been an air of mystery around her and, in others, a dark need to dig for its source. “It’s awful when someone wants to see in your shadows trying to find something. Most people must know I’m connecting with my shadows, and it’s ok, but for some people it’s almost like an obsession. And I got caught up in it. A bit like Ophelia or Juliet. It’s like a car crash that people couldn’t help but stop and stare at. Maybe it was Freud who said that 30 percent of what you think about yourself is really just what you’ve heard others say about you. That’s why I’ve been very careful, and mindful especially in recent years. I didn’t want to end up like that car. I didn’t want to become Ophelia. All I ever wanted from her were the flowers.”
Lana Del Rey, Elizabeth Grant, has changed day by day, shedding parts of herself like petals. The same ones her fans bring to concerts and then scatter on the streets outside the arenas and suburban venues like spells of enchantment. It’s a phenomenon of extreme devotion and magic, much like what happened with artists like Stevie Nicks, for those who sought a mystical experience through them. “The spelling of a word, breaking it down into letters, comes from the same root as ‘spell’.” She tells me she thinks about it often. “It’s like casting a spell, instilling a sort of magic in others. I want my whole life, and everything I sing, to be the positive result of something. I believe in magic because, to me, it means being optimistic, having hope, and being able to share it.” Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have, but I Have It, says one of her most famous song titles. “Hope is power. Anyone who’s ever been religious has done what we now call ‘manifesting’ because they had faith. They saw heaven where there was none.” That’s what love is, like the scene from Cat People in which the actress says something like it’s just you and me, and as long as we’re here, there’s hope. “Most of the people I met wanted Hollywood to be the third part in our relationship. When I get married, it’ll be to someone who, like me, believes that love is enough. I’ll be enough for him, and he’ll be enough for me. Someone to have children with if that happens, or just friends. I want it to be simple, I need to be with someone who wants to plan to stay home with me. Love is to be saved and that’s magic.”
One month after this conversation, Lana Del Rey married nature guide Jeremy Dufrene. It took place on a quiet Thursday in September, on the banks of a Louisiana swamp, with only a few close friends present. On social media, we saw the footage, stolen from yet another camera, and read the comments from her fans: “Lana has always been this. She’s so real.”
Lana Del Rey and her interview for Vogue Italia can be found in the November issue on newsstands from October 31st.
