When Lana does this on the week 2 show

 

Lmfaoooo
 

waitttt why he clocked her like that 

I can't with this caption Her thanking everyone is so sweet but the Pete drama and Tessa Di Pietro took me out lol. She really giving us all the tea
On a serious note her being sick on the day off the show and Pete quitting 37 days before explains alot and then the mic issues. She still delivered an iconic show  and you can tell she put alot of thought into it, her post made realized that the balcony is Kintsugi plss I almost teared up
Anyways I'm so proud of her and it's good too see that she is happy
Love that she wanted her hair to look like the desert, the color is so beautiful and she needs to keep it for the Lasso era, it could fit so well

Fkn DECEASED at that caption
The only thing that would make it better would be if it was in a typewriter font on one of the slides

No, that was Will Whitney, a drum tech. This is Peter Abbott, her longtime tour production manager who she threw plates at in Dallas 2015 lol x

wow, everything falling apart 37 days before coachella and still she NAILED IT. she’s the best and she is the cutest for thanking every single person of her team, i just love her so much 

Manifesting a second pair of D&G looks for Weekend 2 

the fact that we could get let the light in live this friday is so iconic already 

The entrance is sooooooo iconic I CANT 

Mama kudos for saying that, for spilling. Seriously, what a beautiful take, you made me look at the show in a different lens 

I think Billboard were spot on calling her show "perplexing and profound." It was filled with symbolism and details; some were instant and shocking like the epic entrance, others were more obscure or thoughtful like a hologram. I see this show as a happy ending to the Ocean Blvd era and everything that came with it, especially its message -- mortality, fame and loneliness. Lana entered the Coachella field with a caravan of motorcycles, bikers and dolled-up dancers while unreleased "Jealous Girl" played as a trap remix. She graced the audience with her freshly auburn hair, sparkly baby blue dress and an overall elegance and glamour that only she can pull off these days. The stage design, a tall and detailed old mansion with staircases, balconies, plants and everything, was very reminiscent of the Gatsby mansion, as others have pointed out. Her ballerinas and choir singers looked straight out of a 1930s movie or spectacle, while her band members were rocking ties and smoking jackets.
 

 

 
Coincidentially, what's also from the 1930s is a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard in California. The "subway" as it was called, went all the way under Ocean Boulevard and conducted straight to the beach. It was connected to the Jergins Trust Building, a commercial building with over 60 shops, fancy restaurants, casino and theaters where music and dance events were held all the time; all of this during the Golden Age of Hollywood. It was a privileged moment and location that only lasted a few decades as the building was demolished and the tunnel sealed. As we know, on Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, Lana uses this as a metaphor for her fame, beauty, fertility and even her life -- Nothing lasts forever, as she admits in many songs through her discography, but at least she tries to leave a legacy and a purpose behind. She held this big Jazz Age party on the Coachella Stage, where we were all invited to have a great time and appreciate an old-fashioned show; as @yourolllikethunderperfectly stated, "Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare." It's all about the beauty and vulnerability of the moment.
 
"Without You", which Lana hasn't sung in 11 years, was chosen as an unexpected yet gorgeous opener. Describing a life of opulence yet feeling unfulfilled, Lana begins narrating the story of the show. It's followed by "West Coast", a song about having to choose between love and a normal life or pursuing a music career. She chooses the latter, proudly singing California anthem "Doin' Time" and later explores nostalgia and goodbye with "Summertime Sadness". Having to run away and following your intuition is a common theme in Lana's recent music, most particularly "Paris, Texas" from Ocean Blvd or "Bare Feet on Linoleum" from Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass. By the time we finish the first half of the show, we've gotten a great glimpse of Lana's early career, with hits and favorites from Born to Die, Ultraviolence and Lust for Life.
 
The second half of the show explored her newer LPs, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Blue Banisters and Ocean Blvd. These albums describe a decaying, modern America; the music turns more stripped-back, sometimes only piano and voice, an uncommon decision for bombastic Coachella. She sings "Arcadia" with passion, a song about how fickle an artist's reputation can be and how critics and journalists can shift the public's perception on them. Special guests are always part of a big party, and Jon Batiste, Billie Eilish and Jack Antonoff joined to play and sing.
 
One of the most out-there things Lana has ever done live, she was absent from the stage during "Hope is a dangerous thing..."; instead, a holographic version of herself was shown singing and spinning, reminiscent of her infamous SNL gig back in 2012. A promotional billboard appeared outside the festival, which read the date of that TV performance as the death of Lana Del Rey. She comes back triumphant with "A&W" and closed with "Young and Beautiful", a very fitting ending to this story. ""Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?", an iconic line that still stands to this day. "I know you will/I'm sure that you will."
 
Gatsby was murdered in the swimming pool of his opulent mansion; you could also say he died for love. Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake and Elizabeth Short, whose stories are paid homage to in the "Candy Necklace" music video, all faced the darkness of Hollywood and suffered tragic endings. Lana Del Rey pays homage to them and decides to escape, this time in a caravan of motorcycles, bikers and dolled-up dancers. "Burned into my brain are these stolen images," she sang 100 minutes ago during "Without You". "Nobody warns you before the fall [...] If this is it/I'm signing off," she declared in 2019's "The greatest"; she prefers to keep her memories intact and beautiful, avoiding the decay, the demolishment, the sealing. A jazz rendition of "Young and Beautiful" marks the end of the show and Lana waves the audience while brass players in tuxedos and girls with champagne bottles play and dance over a giant cake. The cherry on top was The Caretaker's "It's just a burning memory" playing the background, making the scene feel somber and thought-provoking, but also dramatic and grand like the end of a movie. The instrumental piece is part of Everywhere at the End of Time, an album about deteriorating mental health and Alzheimer; the fear of being forgotten seems to be a major cause of anxiety for Lana, and I hope she knows she's cementing herself as a legend with each move.

Lana Del Rey will be headlining Coachella - Weekend 2 in Indio, California on April 19th, 2024.
She also performed at Weekend 1 the previous week.
 
 

FJM for Let The Light In + Taylor (don't kill me I want an interaction so everyone goes crazy) for Snow on The Beach and another song. 

I still think it's coming in the fall 

Yeah as much as I wanted a song debuted at Coachella, now still isn’t the time. It’s not unusual to get a first single 5 months before the album (LMLYLAW, BB/TB/WFWF) but I prefer shorter pre release. Getting tunnel in December and then the album in March was almost a bit too long of a wait, but is the more typical length. Personally I hope she goes the Billie route, where she announces the album and there’s barely a month wait. 

also, the album isn’t even announced yet. She’s only talked about it at an event. Once she posts about it, then I consider it announced 

the reason the album isn’t out yet is because the album got blocked the instant it was sent to streaming services for not having all the samples cleared + queen clearly can’t decide what to do with releases (but ended up having a good idea by getting this situation and improving the album with new features and new songs like Sexy Party).
I also wanted the cash grab edition but I also want the maximum of songs possible to fit H4U.
ps: Donatachi didnt pay their google drive so Iconic_full2018mix.mp3 got lost and Ayesha had to rerecord the second verse for it.
