Lana Del Rey's Hampden gig set times, support act and everything you need to know
Lana Del Rey is preforming in Scotland for the first time in nearly a decade. Here's everything you need to know if you're heading to Hampden Park to see the Video Games singer live.
Lana Del Rey will perform in Scotland for the first time in nearly 10 years on Thursday (June 26), as she takes to the stage in Hampden Park. The Video Game singer has kicked off a series of stadium shows for 2025, beginning in Cardiff earlier this week before making her way to Glasgow.
The American star has only ever played a handful of gigs in the UK, with two dates in Glasgow at the SECC in 2013 and the Hydro in 2017.
Although Lana is no stranger to Glasgow, she developed a fondness for the city after spending significant time there while in a relationship with Kassidy frontman Barrie James O'Neill.
In a past interview, when asked if she had a permanent home, Lana spoke of Glasgow, saying: "I don't have one...but when I have any time I go to Glasgow, that's where I'm happiest".

A Moon for the Misbegotten review – even Ruth Wilson can't redeem this long night
Rebecca Frecknall has given some surprising spins to the American canon with her refreshing and untraditional revivals. The surprise in the director's production of Eugene O'Neill's final play is that it is served up straight. Frecknall has stepped back to let the play do the speaking but this faithfulness lays bare the datedness of the drama, which creaks with age at times. The production itself seems imbalanced too: glacial in pace, it stretches across three hours, not gathering enough intensity and chugging anti-climactically to its end. Dissolute farmer Phil Hogan (David Threlfall) dreams up a scheme for his daughter, Josie (Ruth Wilson), to seduce the wealthy landlord James Tyrone (Michael Shannon) as a ploy to blackmail him and keep the farm from being sold to a neighbour. So Josie and James spend a moonlit night together, flirting, drinking, arguing and proclaiming love which may or may not be real. An hour in, it feels as if the play is simply circling its plot rather than arriving at its purpose. More than two hours later, Josie and James's relationship reveals some vulnerability. Wilson is, as always, magnetic in her stage presence, in farm-hand dungarees with the hint of Irishness to her American accent, while Threlfall is convincing as the bullish, wayward father. But characters hover between the roguish, melodramatic and tragic, speaking in scheming monologues which arrest psychological development. Tom Scutt's set design looks stagnant under a beige wash of timber, planks and ladders, the inside of the farm wall-less but without the intrigue this exposure might bring. As in Long Day's Journey Into Night (to which this play is a sequel), illusion wrestles with truth, reality and revelation: James is a city type who drinks heavily and reveals deeper, mournful dimensions; Josie has a brazen reputation about town (the 'scandal of the countryside') but one of the mysteries of the plot lies around her sexual virtue. Her story feels oddly – jarringly – eclipsed by James's outpouring of grief and guilt, along with his glaring madonna/whore fantasy, which shapes their dynamic. Female sexuality as a whole is defined by the men around Josie either as threat or currency with which to bargain for advantage. Josie's breasts are casually, repeatedly, admired and women are referred to as sluts and pigs. While this may be of its world – an early 20th-century hardscrabble farm community in Connecticut – it gives the play an old-fashioned, queasy feel. The drama ends with what seems like Josie's transformation into a would-be saviour for the suffering man that James embodies. 'Mother me, Josie, I love it,' he says, and she obliges. Is O'Neill suggesting this was Josie's moral lesson to learn? Perhaps not, but too much of the play creaks with what feel like anachronisms. Frecknall is sometimes charged with being too overbearing a director but this production might have benefited from bigger, bolder revisionism. At the Almeida theatre, London, until 16 August

'Most realistic' war film leaves fans 'unable to breathe' in 'painful' watch
Oliver Stone's 1986 war film has been hailed as one of the greatest war movies of all time Oliver Stone's 1986 war film has been lauded as one of the most profound war films ever made, due to its authentic and heart-wrenching depiction of life on the frontlines during the Vietnam War. This is hardly surprising given that Oliver Stone, a Vietnam War veteran himself, was the first person who had served in the war to write and direct a Hollywood movie about it. Oliver reportedly penned the screenplay based on his own experiences as a US infantryman in Vietnam, aiming to challenge the portrayal of war in John Wayne's The Green Berets. Platoon, featuring a star-studded cast including Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, Johnny Depp, Kevin Dillon, Keith David, John C. McGinley, and Forest Whitaker, was the first in a trilogy of Vietnam War films directed by Oliver. It was succeeded by Born on the Fourth of July (1989) and Heaven & Earth (1993). Platoon presents a deeply moving narrative where a new US army recruit (Sheen) is deployed in Vietnam while his Platoon Sergeant (Berenger) and Squad Leader (Dafoe) grapple with the morality of their platoon's actions and the war at large, reports the Express. Platoon was a resounding success at the box office, raking in $138.5 million worldwide against a modest production budget of $6 million. The film achieved immense success, ranking as the third highest-grossing domestic film of 1986 in the US and Canada. Its excellence was further acknowledged with eight prestigious nominations at the 59th Academy Awards, where it claimed four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Sound, and Best Film Editing. On Rotten Tomatoes, Platoon boasts an impressive 89% critics' approval rating and a staggering 93% audience rating, demonstrating its enduring impact on both critics and audiences. One critic praised the film and its director, stating: "Oliver Stone's harrowing war picture was the first movie that felt like a genuine depiction of that terrible war, and brought collective catharsis for America's tragedy in Vietnam." Another critic was thoroughly engrossed, commenting: "I didn't take a single note during the screening of Platoon: It's that engrossing, that overwhelming." The film received widespread acclaim, with one critic writing: "Platoon is the best American combat movie since All Quiet on the Western Front, and may be the most realistic of all American war movies." Another critic hailed it as: "One of the most visceral and authentic war films ever made." Audiences also shared their admiration, with one viewer stating: "A powerful, painful, must-see film - an impassioned and riveting dispatch from the front that's at once a battle cry and a lamentation." A fan praised the film, saying: "Everytime I watch this I notice something different. The most accurate and best movie about the Vietnam War that I have ever seen. "The cast is outstanding, music, cinematography, just all incredible. Simply incredible movie." Another viewer offered their glowing review: "Best war film ever made in my opinion. Excellent beyond words!". Meanwhile, a particular viewer heaped accolades on the filmmaker: "Oliver Stone is a genius. A very important piece of cinema history."
