Lana Del Rey Sells Out Wembley Stadium

Lana Del Rey has sold out her biggest stadium show yet in Wembley as part of her UK & Ireland Tour 2025, marking this the biggest solo show of her career. Another date for Wembley has been added for July 4th, with tickets being nearly sold out for this date too. Lana will perform for 91,000 people at Wembley Stadium.

The UK and Ireland tour 2025 will follow the singer’s successful 2024 festival appearances, including Reading & Leeds. Lana hasn’t done a tour in the UK since 2017 when she promoted her fifth studio album ‘Lust For Life’. The tour will mark her first major stadium shows in the region, with performances scheduled at iconic venues like Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Glasgow’s Hampden Park, Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, Liverpool’s Anfield, and London’s Wembley Stadium. The tour kicks off on June 23, 2025, and concludes on July 4, 2025​.

Some fans have voiced concerns about the prices, noting that even restricted-view seats range from £100 to £120, depending on the venue, often comparing it to the Taylor Swift Eras tour. Taylor Swift’s tour featured an extensive production with elaborate staging, costumes, and a multi-hour setlist, leading to higher ticket pricing. In contrast, Lana Del Rey’s tour, while high-profile, focuses on a more intimate, atmospheric performance style, which may contribute to slightly lower base ticket costs but still faces criticism for restricted-view pricing. Lana Del Rey’s tickets remain generally accessible but are more polarizing due to pricing disparities between venues. Lana hasn’t responded to the backlash.

General ticket prices vary by location:

  • London Wembley Stadium: Starting at £71.51.
  • Cardiff: Around £80.70.
  • Glasgow: Higher, around £160.96.
  • Other locations, such as Liverpool, offer similar pricing to Cardiff

Prior to announcing this tour, Lana said in May 2024: “I’ve decided not to do a stadium tour this year because I want to go to McCreary County in Kentucky, I want to go meet the people. I want to say hi and have breakfast with them. It’s not always about picking up my money at the stadiums.”

Similarly to this instance, the singer has also decided to rename her upcoming album ‘Lasso‘ to ‘The Right Person Will Stay‘, which is currently set to be released in May 2025 and which the tour will be in support of.

Lana is also set to perform at Anfield Stadium as part of her UK and Ireland tour, further deepening her bond with Liverpool. The singer has developed a strong connection with Liverpool through her admiration for the city’s cultural heritage, particularly its musical and football traditions. She recorded a poignant a cappella version of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone‘, the iconic anthem of Liverpool FC, for a documentary about the club.
