Lana Del Rey at London's Wembley Stadium 2025: timings, set list, last-minute tickets and everything you need to know
If you want the secret to success, Lana Del Rey might suggest building a devout fan base so strong that you can sell out a stadium tour nearly 15 years after your first hit single. This week, you'll probably notice public transport filling up with thousands of girls in white dresses, cowboy boots, and flower crowns. They're not heading to a midsommar ritual – they're just going to see Lana Del Rey at Wembley. Over her expansive career, Lana has cultivated a strong aesthetic and an extensive back catalogue, both of which are being celebrated at her current UK stadium tour. Although some thought that Lana's intimate, personal ballads might not be suited to the roaring stadium crowds, the American darling has received positive reviews throughout her tour, which began in Cardiff last week. Now, she's taking it to the capital for two nights at Wembley Stadium. Here's everything you need to know about Lana Del Rey at London's Wembley Stadium this week. When is Lana Del Rey playing Wembley? Lana will play two huge nights at Wembley stadium on Thursday, July 3 and Friday, July 4. This is the grand finale to her first ever UK stadium tour, so you can expect it to be pretty special. What time will Lana Del Rey come on stage? Doors will open for this concert at 5pm, with Lana due to appear on stage at 8.30pm on July 3, and 9pm on July 4, due to the change in curfew on the weekend. Lana is known for not always sticking exactly to schedule, so don't worry if you don't see her at 9pm on the dot. She will be there, and she will put on a great show. Are there any tickets left? If you're looking for last minute tix, you might be in luck. There are a few, very limited, seated tickets left for both nights, although there are more for July 3. Failing that, there's also a few resale tickets floating about on Ticketmaster, so we recommend having a look on there and seeing what you can get. Lana Del Rey tickets can be purchased here. How much do tickets cost? You're going to be hard pressed to find a ticket for less than £100 at this short notice. Most seats are going for anywhere between £106 and £202, but it depends where you are in the venue and how restricted your view is. What's the setlist? There has been some contention from fans around the setlist, particularly because it contains a couple of covers and a couple of tracks sung by a hologram of Lana. You can't say she doesn't keep us on our toes. Regardless, there's still plenty of hits and loads to get excited about in this lineup. Stars Fell on Alabama Henry, come on Stand by Your Man (Tammy Wynette cover) Chemtrails Over the Country Club Ultraviolence Ride Video Games Norman fucking Rockwell (shortened, recorded version was played as a projection of Lana was shown through the stage set) Arcadia (shortened, recorded version was played as a projection of Lana was shown through the stage set) Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd (Extended choir outro) Quiet in the South Vertigo: Scene D'Amour Howl (Hologram interlude with Lana reciting Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" poem offstage) Young and Beautiful Summertime Sadness Born to Die 57.5 Take Me Home, Country Roads Who will be supporting Lana Del Rey in London? Londoners, you're very lucky, because during Lana's shows in the capital she will be supported by Addison Rae. This will be one of Addison's first performances in the UK since the release of her acclaimed debut album, and she is definitely the perfect person to warm the crowd up for a night of hazy, sultry, tunes. Addison is due to start her set at 7.15pm. Are there any banned items? Like any venue, Wembley has some basic restrictions on what you're allowed to bring into the venue to keep everyone safe. Here's everything that's banned from Wembley: Bags which don't meet our Bag Policy (medical exemptions apply) Large umbrellas Aluminium and glass drink containers, including perfume bottles Plastic bottles over 500ml Alcohol Food and drink Pushchairs Selfie sticks Weapons and tools Flares, lasers, smoke devices and cannisters Large-bodied cameras and camcorders Drones Unauthorised musical instruments, vuvuzelas or megaphones You're allowed one bag per person which is A4 size or smaller, and they'll be inspected at the gates.

I had a bitter divorce with my ex-husband. I didn't expect his new wife to become one of my best friends years later.
When my ex-husband began dating, I wanted to meet the woman who would be spending time with my kids. Despite some initial coparenting challenges, we bonded over shared experiences and family ties. Now she's one of my closest friends, someone I can depend on in good times and bad. Patti has become one of my closest friends. We go to shows, crawfish boils, and out to eat. We show up at family parties arm-in-arm, and most recently celebrated her daughter's college graduation together. It's a beautiful friendship — one I never expected to have with my ex-husband's wife. I remember the day I met Patti. I'd invited her to lunch after learning my ex-husband was dating her. I wanted to get to know the woman who might become my kids' stepmother and, truth be told, I was feeling a little guilty about the impending divorce. My husband and I had been married for 12 years and had five kids within the first five years. We didn't really communicate much at all. He was a good provider and a great father, but we were more parenting partners than lovers. I eventually began searching for affection and companionship outside of marriage. He eventually discovered the truth and moved out. We coparented amicably at first, even taking turns staying in the family home to provide stability for our children. It was heartbreaking to see the hurt I'd caused, both to the children and to my ex-husband. I think I subconsciously felt it was my mission to help him find happiness again. When I heard he was dating Patti, I wanted to meet her. We had a great meal and conversation at a local Mexican restaurant with me admitting to my shortcomings as a wife and building him up as a husband. I was trying to be both an honorable ex and used car salesman that night. But I did like her and she left with my blessing if they decided to get married. Not long after, they did get married. It was just a couple of months after I had gotten remarried myself. And then it all went south. After the divorce, coparenting became difficult. We fought over custody, family land, and more. By the time the details were worked out, we were so angry with each other that our handoffs had to take place in public. On top of that, my ex-husband and my new husband seemed to hate each other, making communication tough. Through it all, Patti and I were stuck in the middle, with all communication taking place solely between us. No longer friendly, it was cordial at best as we collectively personified Tammy Wynette's song, "Stand by Your Man." With age comes wisdom, though, and we eventually realized blind loyalty to men was overrated. Girl power took its place and over the years we started talking on the phone, bonding over the now-grown kids' antics, our new roles as grandmother, and the ordeals of living with grumpy old men. This started while I was living out of state and Patti was living less than five miles from my parents. She started to take care of them like they were her own. Many people actually thought she was a third sister, not realizing her husband was actually an ex son-in-law. When my second marriage was ending, Patti was one of the first people I turned to. She had been there at the end, listening as I weighed out my decisions and offering her support. She, of all people, knew the struggles we'd had. My ex-husband, who I'd regained a friendship with by then as well, was also supportive. While Patti had always been at family birthday parties and holiday events, our friendship grew even stronger in recent years. She's just like any of my other girlfriends, and has taken me to drop my car off at the mechanic, while I've picked up stuff at the store for her. I know I can count on her when I need to and she can do the same for me. Read the original article on Business Insider
