Wow trying to comprehend last night but this was my first-time seeing Lana after missing out her previous London shows (had tickets to the cancelled 2020), and oh my god she was so perfect! When you could hear her sing she was so majestic and looked like she was having fun, just wished she'd of sung some collabs with that curated lineup!! Managed to get pretty close on the left side of GA with a decent view but kinda wish I went for the golden circle tickets.

 

Also made friends with others over our distaste for the TikTok crowd that was everywhere lol! Now to wait many more years for her to comeback!

She looked stunning. The true Lanita 🙏.

Incredible show. I was surprised at how well 'Tunnel' went down, it was my personal highlight. 

 

I choose to believe that she was late on purpose so the intro to Ride played as the sun went down (which was glorious to witness.)

 Interesting. We gotta love FJM for spilling about his work with LDR all the time

He said something along the lines of: He heard the song was about him because of the 6'2 and Laurel Canyon lyrics. However they spoke and she told him that the guy was actually 5'8, but that didn't rhyme so she changed it to 6'2. And then he made a joke like "Thanks for that Lana!" 

Who knows if that's true though 

 I thought it was HILARIOUS that she put the giant photo of him on the main screen during NFR ... Likeeee I see what you're doing Lana!  

 

Yes! Okay, I remember this now.

I think I was maybe too drunk when he was talking idk

I have loved Lana like a sister from my first listen to Born to Die. She's been with me through my life's ups & downs. Seen her @2 shows previously The Marquee @ Cork in 2014 & again @ Liverpool Arena 2017. I was soooooo disappointed with the BST last night. Total Lana corporate sell out. What's with the dancers ???? That's not the Lana I've listened to for the last 9 years? Backing singers ? Could barely hear her. Didn't even stay to the end. Absolutely gutted

I have many a bone to pick with these tiktok barricade stans…

in my psychic era

[ultrabanisters 37,072]

it was also really nice hearing about how much she loved making tunnel. it seems like she cares alot more for this album that some of her others

Also when he said they tried to work something out (about singing a collab) but every time they get together for a few hours they just end up “talking about Jesus”

 

like guys I know you are religious but I deffo think that could be construed as tongue in cheek for.. you know

He was really having fun stoking those rumours for sure

Ocean was my highlight of the entire night. The way she talked about how much it meant to her and that outro 

[Thats why they call me Dita 7,587]

Are my eyes deceiving me.. did she meet fans after the show at gate 17 lol, pretty sure that was like right nearby gate 

Knew I should’ve stuck around

Question: I've been to indoor concerts before, but this was my first outdoor festival. I was just behind the barrier in the GA area and it was CHAOS. People were pushing, there barely any room to breath, people were fainting, and I was surrounded by teenagers who were screaming 24/7 to the extent that I could barely hear Lana only really during Candy Necklaces, Bartender, and Arcadia. When I stood on my tippy toes I could just about see a tiny Lana on the stage. 

Is there a better chance of actually hearing Lana the further back you are? Was anyone right at the back, and what was your experience? The atmosphere was insane but I wish I could have heard her better. 

 

Alsooooooo just realised that I missed the chance of buying a poster (was so intent on getting a t-shirt that I missed it). Is anyone selling one
