Lana Del Rey to headline Wembley Stadium as part of 2025 tour

Lana Del Rey has announced a 2025 UK and Ireland stadium tour.

The 39-year-old singer will play London’s Wembley Stadium on July 3, as part of her biggest headline run this side of the pond.

Lana’s jaunt kicks off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on June 23 and includes stops at Glasgow’s Hampden Park on June 26, Liverpool FC’s ground, Anfield Stadium, on June 28, and Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on June 30.

Tickets go on general sale from 10am via Live Nation on Friday (29.11.24).

The ‘Born To Die’ hitmaker has had a stellar 2024, having headlined Coachella in the US and Reading and Leeds in the UK.

Meanwhile, fans are awaiting a release date for Lana’s upcoming 10th studio album ‘Lasso’.

The ‘Cinnamon Girl’ singer is known for her depressing lyrics, and whilst sonically the record won’t be a “heavy departure” from her Americana sound, she’s teased the lyrics aren’t as dark.

She recently told Vogue: “All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana, unless it’s an album like ‘Honeymoon’ which has a jazz flair, so I don’t think it will be a heavy departure.

“If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American, or Southern Gothic production — which again, so many of my songs already are.”

The ‘Sad Girl’ singer has worked with regular collaborator Jack Antonoff and country music maker Luke Laird on the new tunes.

Speaking at Billboard’s pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles earlier this year, she teased: ”If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country. We’re going country. It’s happening.

“That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.”

In an Instagram video, she spilled: “Jack’s [Antonoff] in town, I’m going to see him work on some little songs. I’ve had a really beautiful week with [songwriter and producer] Luke Laird.”

The prolific star’s last studio album was 2023’s ‘Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’.

Lana recently teamed up with former Migos star Quavo on the track ‘Tough’.

Lana Del Rey’s UK and Ireland 2025 tour dates:

June 23, Cardiff, UK, Principality Stadium

June 26, Glasgow, UK, Hampden Park

June 28, Liverpool, UK, Anfield Stadium

June 30, Dublin, Ireland, Aviva Stadium

July 03, London, UK, Wembley Stadium
