Lana Del Rey’s 2025 tour is generating massive buzz as the singer prepares to bring her ethereal, cinematic sound to stadiums across the UK and Ireland. Following her critically acclaimed ninth studio album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, Del Rey is embarking on a six-date stadium run that began in May 2023 and will conclude on July 4, 2025, in London. The tour has already seen her headline major festivals like Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and All Things Go, but the 2025 dates mark her first proper stadium tour since the pandemic.
Tour Dates and Venues
According to Del Rey’s official website, the tour will visit six cities across the UK and Ireland. The singer kicks off in Cardiff, then moves to Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin, and closes with two nights at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium. Here are the full dates:
- 23 June 2025 – Principality Stadium, Cardiff, UK
- 26 June 2025 – Hampden Park, Glasgow, UK
- 28 June 2025 – Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, UK
- 30 June 2025 – Aviva Stadium, Dublin, IE
- 3 July 2025 – Wembley Stadium, London, UK
- 4 July 2025 – Wembley Stadium, London, UK
These dates represent a significant expansion of her touring footprint, with stadium shows that cater to her massive fanbase in Europe. The choice of venues—football stadiums like Anfield and Hampden—underscores her crossover appeal from indie darling to mainstream pop icon.
Opening Acts: A Stellar Lineup
Del Rey recently revealed the openers for her UK and Ireland tour via Instagram, sharing a tour poster that lists each act and their corresponding dates. London Grammar will open the first show in Cardiff. BANKS takes over from June 26 to June 28, including the Dublin date on June 30. The two London shows at Wembley Stadium will feature opener Addison Rae, whose 2025 album has been well received. Both BANKS and Addison Rae released albums in 2025, adding fresh material to the concert experience. This eclectic mix of openers—spanning indie electronic, dark pop, and dance-pop—highlights Del Rey’s ability to curate a diverse lineup that appeals to different segments of her audience.
Ticket Availability
Tickets for this highly anticipated tour have been selling rapidly. General presale began on November 29, 2024, leaving limited availability for purchases closer to the June/July show dates. Tickets can currently be purchased through Ticketmaster, though fans report that only scattered single seats remain. Given the demand, resale platforms may offer additional options at premium prices. The scarcity of tickets reflects Del Rey’s enduring popularity and the intimate nature of her performances, even in stadium settings.
No US Tour Announced Yet
As of now, Lana Del Rey has not announced an official US tour for 2025. However, she is slated to headline the Hinterland Music Festival on August 3, 2025, in the Iowa countryside. This three-day festival also features headliners Tyler, The Creator and Kacey Musgraves, with supporting acts including Bleachers, Sierra Ferrell, and Wyatt Flores on Del Rey’s date. Tickets for Hinterland are still available through the festival’s official website. Many fans are hoping that this festival appearance will lead to a broader North American tour announcement, but no details have been confirmed. Del Rey’s last US tour was in 2023–2024, supporting Ocean Blvd, so a return to American stages seems likely in the near future.
Background and New Album
Del Rey’s 2025 tour comes in the wake of her critically acclaimed 2023 album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, which earned strong reviews for its introspective lyrics and lush production. The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and spawned singles like “A&W” and “Candy Necklace.” Her forthcoming album, tentatively titled The Right Person Will Stay, was originally set for release on May 21, 2025, but has been delayed with no new date announced. Initially unveiled as Lasso, the album is expected to incorporate a country-inspired sound, marking a stylistic shift for the singer known for her sadcore and dream pop. Fans hope new songs from this album will appear on the setlist, though Del Rey has not confirmed this.
Career Context
Lana Del Rey first rose to prominence with her 2011 single “Video Games,” followed by the albums Born to Die (2012) and Ultraviolence (2014). Over the past decade, she has evolved from a controversial figure—criticized for her vintage Americana persona—to a respected artist with a devoted fanbase. Her work often explores themes of nostalgia, tragedy, and romance, delivered through her distinctive, languid vocal style. The 2023 record Ocean Blvd was praised for its vulnerability, blending orchestral arrangements, hip-hop beats, and spoken word interludes. Del Rey’s live performances are known for their emotional intensity, with fans singing along to every word of classics like “Summertime Sadness,” “Young and Beautiful,” and “Born to Die.”
Festival Appearances and Tour History
Before the 2025 stadium shows, Del Rey headlined the MITA Music Festival in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in March 2023—her first post-pandemic performances. She then toured extensively through 2023 and 2024, appearing at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, All Things Go, and other major festivals. Her 2025 itinerary also includes a stop at Hinterland in Iowa, and she has hinted at possible European dates beyond the UK and Ireland. The current tour is among her largest yet, with stadium venues that accommodate tens of thousands of fans. This scale reflects not only her commercial success but also her ability to fill large spaces with intimate, atmospheric music—a feat few artists achieve.
What to Expect at the Shows
Attendees can anticipate a setlist that blends Del Rey’s greatest hits with deep cuts from Ocean Blvd and her extensive catalog. Given the presence of opened BANKS and Addison Rae, the shows may also feature collaborative performances. Del Rey is known for her theatrical stage presence, often incorporating vintage aesthetics, lighting design, and video backdrops that evoke old Hollywood glamour. The UK and Ireland dates will likely include fan favorites like “Video Games,” “Ride,” “Summertime Sadness,” “Born to Die,” “Young and Beautiful,” and newer songs like “A&W” and “Candy Necklace.” With the country-tinged album on the horizon, there is also speculation that she might debut a new single or two during these shows.
Ticket Tips and Fan Advice
For fans still hoping to secure a ticket, checking Ticketmaster frequently is recommended, as additional seats may be released closer to the date. Resale platforms such as StubHub or Viagogo offer secondhand options, though prices may be inflated. For the Hinterland Festival, separate tickets are available via the festival website. Many fans are also monitoring Del Rey’s social media for potential last-minute additions or presale opportunities. Given the high demand, acting quickly is essential.
Looking Ahead
While no US tour has been announced, the success of the UK and Ireland dates could pave the way for a North American run in 2026. Del Rey’s delayed album The Right Person Will Stay remains highly anticipated, and its eventual release may coincide with further touring. Until then, fans across the Atlantic will have to travel or wait patiently. The current tour stands as a testament to Del Rey’s enduring relevance and her ability to evolve while maintaining her signature aesthetic. With a stacked lineup of openers and a catalog spanning over a decade, the 2025 shows promise to be unforgettable experiences for longtime followers and new listeners alike.
