Lana del Rey has started these days his first stadium tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The artist has already completed the first four dates in Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool and Dublin, and tomorrow, July 3 will end this brief series of concerts with an performance at the Wembley stadium, in London.
Despite having a careful scenery -presided over by the recreation of a typical American house of the 50s -, the show has disappointed many fans of the artist. Some media have described it as an experience that “is not worth paying” or as one of the “most strange” shows ever seen in the Aviva de Dublin stadium.
Wool seems to have designed a show completely to your liking, without taking into account the public’s expectations, much less the nature of a stadium. First, the concert apparently does not arrive at the time and a half, despite the high cost of the entries, which have been able to reach 120 pounds, and despite the unpunctuality of wool, which is being repeated on this tour, according to the chronicles. In addition, during the recital, wool passes several times off the stage and even a hologram that reproduces its image is replaced several times, in one of them, to recite the poem ‘Howl’ by Allan Ginsberg.
The strange Setlist has taken a large part of the criticism, since it dispenses with many of Del Rey’s greatest successes and includes little known songs and up to three unpublished songs – belonging to an announced album but has not yet come out – and two versions. The Setlist seems, in the words of a Scottish journalist, “improvised.” Nor does it seem that the show offers anything new about what has been seen in other wool concerts in the past.
Impressions in that line have expressed several Jnesaispop readers. Alfredo believes that “the problem of wool and her team seems to have no idea what your audience wants or does not want,” and criticizes that Lana avoids “please” his audience despite the high cost of tickets. And Giveyouup reflects: “No one is asking you to mount a tour, but what if you organize a concert in a stadium, you meet fans that like me, we have left a paste.” Fran, however, relativizes: “I do not understand what the surprise is, Lana’s concerts have always been what they have been.”
