Yeah. It was fantastic for me to see Lana live for the first time 🤩🙏. I thought the screens and visuals were gorgeous and immersive. It was pretty glorious, not to mention the intoxicating Lana herself.

 

Disappointing that there were no collabs with the features, but that would have been extra. FJM said they talked about it, but in the end just ended talking about church. Lana is a religion in herself 😇.

So true. I loved FJM’s set too! And SYML was amazing

I wanted a poster, I got there at 3pm and they were all gone!

Missed SYML 😢. I thought Gang Of Youths were quite good. I didn’t know who they were, nor did anyone else seemingly 😂.

Neither haha. They were okay, I wish they put Tommy on that stage instead of them, as I had to miss Tommy to get my space. 
 

Can we take a minute to appreciate the venue staff though? They were so efficient at handing out and refilling water bottles, and even bought food like chips and burgers and passed them into the crowd at one point. Definitely the best staffed concert I’ve been to this year. 

 

When she hummed Trash Magic during her hair appointment interlude oh I collapsed

Yeah. Would of been super cool to see Tommy Genesis 🤷‍♂️

 

I was on the viewing platform, and sadly didn’t get any snacks or drinks 🥲. I thought the stuff were pretty good though. The whole place seemed more busy at GnR, even though it was a sellout. Maybe, old guys just need more food, and have more disposable income 🤔.

Lana has got to stop just not singing parts of songs though because the crowd gets so confused 😭

No one wants to sing loud above everyone else when Lana isn’t incase they get it wrong. When she didn’t sing Ride bridge and the screens didn’t show her pointing the mic at the crowd, my whole section was dead silent until the last line

just awoke from the best sleep of my life i was exhausted lemme review my day

 

first of all i had an amazing time, we were about 10 rows back and had a great amount of space with no pushing or shoving. think we got lucky tbh. we got there at 11:11am (lol) and doors were pretty much 1pm on the dot. quite well organised and we got our place in the crowd and sat down for a bit until the acts. security let us bring a few bottles of water in so we didnt pass out lol

 

one thing i will say is the difference in fans from my 2017 show to this show. the general demographic has become ALOT younger. most of the people around us were 16-19 whereas before it was mostly 20s. not saying it’s a bad thing but it’s interesting what tiktok has done. the only downside is most of them have little concert experience so their etiquette is basically non existent and they can be rude and push for no reason at all…

 

ANYWAYS LANA WAS INCREDIBLE AS ALWAYS. she was slightly late but she performed so well and she was so sweet the entire night. i am really puzzled as to why she didnt perform the collabs because there was actually no excuse to not do them considering every single person was sat backstage… but anyways

 

 

anyways.. see you later in paris girl

Gang of youths were a badly selected act for the day, too enthusiastic and happy lol, we are Lana stans, up beat is not the vibe 

 

but seriously.. I recognised some of their songs.. feel maybe I’ve seen them before at a different festival..

No literally 💀 everyone around me kept getting confused and not singing, but sometimes people just improvised along with Lana like when she sung OB

Maybe Lana just wanted a counterpoint to the other acts 🤷‍♂️. Maybe she just likes the band too 🤔. I liked them though, and I think they didn’t ruin the vibe too much.

Haha. Sounds like what I did 😎.

[summer bummer 1,936]

Still processing last night, it was literally so good

the way she connects with the crowd is crazy, I was there with my Mum and she couldn’t actually see anything but still loved it 

[Thats why they call me Dita 9,765]

I hope she tours properly though, I wanna try get close to stage, so would just go alone and would be happy to wait all day in the queue so

[angelsforeveer 90]

yeah i’m ngl i didn’t get too close to the barricade because of the amount of locals shoving me, my anxiety was through the roof 

[HT71 182]

I posted a highlights video on my YT if any1 wants to see. Not amazing quality, the girl behind me thought everyone paid to listen to her sing the WHOLE show. 

 

 

[The Sun Also Rises 5,572]

Just woke up after finally getting to sleep at 2 am  

What an amazing show!! It was VERY pushy where I was standing (a bit further than the barrier where GA starts) and I could barely hear (SO much screaming) or see anything but 10/10, obsessed

Only Lana could invite practically everyone she collabed with and then not sing with any of them but honestly I forgive her because the show was so good 

I managed to get some merch too!! So glad the green lips t-shirt wasn't the only one available 

Loved the FJM set, but although I'm a rock girlie the audio mixing for Gang of Youths wasn't great  

[Thats why they call me Dita 9,765]

I felt bad for gang of youths, the crowd weren’t giving enough back

Around me everyone was probably in their 20s and up I was further back though probably right in the middle of golden circle

[LustForcocc 744]

I agree with majority, I landed myself such a good spot and was lining up outside from like 10am but people were so pushy and rude I gave up at around 2:30pm inside and ended up walking around bts till 8:20 and went back in gold circle then. Couldn’t see shit but the screens made Lana look amazing and it was fun to be around everyone. 
 

I will say though BTS need to exaggerate that there is absolutely no shade anywhere, I ended up sitting in the medical tent for an hour among loads of other people from heat stroke and when I was watching Tommy someone literally passed out in front of me so..
