Why Doesn't Lana Tour in Asia?

[WhiteMustangSally 10]

Lana came to in Japan in 2012, but cancelled her performance citing 'exhaustion'. Despite her promise to come back, she has yet to make it back out here. Does anyone know why? What about other Asian countries? It seems like she was put off for some reason. 

 

Concerts in Japan are smaller and more intimate, so it may not be as profitable as a show in the US/Europe, but the other artists I stan (Alison Wonderland, Anderson Paak) love Tokyo and come back every other year (or every year) even though they are used to selling out huge venues. For instance, Alison Wonderland recently sold out TWO shows are Red Rocks Amphitheatre this year and I saw her at a Tokyo venue smaller than a local dive bar. For that reason, if she ever does come to Japan, it would be well worth the trip to see her play here if you can swing it.

This is an interesting question. I have no idea why L.D.R. doesn't tour the Asian nations. Maybe she made the decision not to go because of some reason which hasn't been disclosed to us. Or maybe the decision was made by the people in charge of the logistics for her tours. Maybe in the future Lana Del Rey will do an extensive tour of Asia to the delight of her Asian fans.

I believe it's something with demand. No idea about her status in Asia tbh, not sure they're into her "american" thing but def. It's odd she never played over there (especially after cancelling years ago). I imagine that maybe it can happen in 2020. Local promoters need to be aware of her presence and the fans interested as well so time to put some hashtags on twitter hunny nn

Maybe. My husband and many of his friends were born and raised in mainland China, but have immigrated to the US a couple years ago. None of them ever heard of Lana before they heard me playing her music, or actually even heard much talk about her in their hometown (a big city in northeast China). Of course she's got many fans there, but maybe she's not as heard of in the media there as other mainstream American artists.

LOCALS ONLY

 

Being an asian, I chose to take it personally!

[lesterdelrey 146]

I feel like she doesn't have much of a fanbase in Asia??

My family's from Hong Kong so I can't speak for other countries but it seems like she virtually has no presence there lmfao

Maybe sales influence where she’ll play. I don’t know what the sale numbers are for her albums in Asia, and maybe there’s a language barrier too. I don’t know if Lana singing in English is a good enough reason though, language has never been a barrier for me when it comes to enjoying a song...
