Lana Del Rey stuns in a floral mini dress for Leeds Festival performance after organisers apologised for cutting her Reading set short

Oh, Lana Del Rey! My heart goes out to you, darling. I’ve been to more festivals than I can count, and I know all too well that technical difficulties can be a real pain in the neck (or ear, in this case). It’s just a shame that your stunning performance at Leeds Festival was marred by such issues.


As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but marvel at Lana Del Rey’s radiant presence during her Leeds Festival performance, despite the hiccups she faced with technical issues at the Reading site earlier.

Organisers of the festival had to issue an apology due to an unfortunate incident where a performer’s set at Reading was prematurely ended, and the sound of techno music from another stage overwhelmed her performance.

On Sunday night, Lana, aged 39, stepped back onto the stage wearing a white mini dress featuring yellow flowers as embellishment.

She teamed the pretty number with a pair of silver western boots ad styled her hair straight. 

During her sensational show, the singer was accompanied by several dance performers, as she powerfully sang many of her popular tunes.

As a devoted fan, I was genuinely sorry for any inconvenience caused when my set at the Reading Festival was cut short unexpectedly on Saturday evening. I want to express my sincere apologies to all those who came to see me perform and were looking forward to a full show.

The festival shared a statement to Instagram on Sunday morning revealing her performance was cut by five minutes ‘due to production error’. 

As a devoted follower who appreciates live performances, I regret to inform you that there was an unfortunate oversight during the production of Lana Del Rey’s exceptional set. We inadvertently truncated it by five minutes. On behalf of our team, we extend our sincerest apologies to Lana and her devoted fans for this inconvenience.

During her performance, she encountered audio problems that caused some spectators to depart after only hearing four songs.

The singer known for “Summertime Sadness” faced criticism after her performance, which began 15 minutes behind schedule and was criticized as being too depressing in its song selection.

She first revealed her collection featuring Norman Rockwell’s artwork, followed by a journey through Arcadia, “Without You,” and the West Coast.

Yet, Lana found herself grappling with technical problems due to loud ‘techno’ music emanating from a neighboring stage, overshadowing her own sounds.

As the audience strained to listen, they could be heard repeatedly calling out for the music to get louder, “Turn it up, turn it up!” due to the softness of the musician’s performance.

According to a source, TopMob was informed that she appeared stunning, with the performance having a castle-like ambiance. However, there were issues with the sound quality – it was almost inaudible at times, and background noise from another stage overpowered her performance.

At some moment, she inquired, “Are you able to listen to me above the techno beat?” The audience was echoing, “Make it louder”, and many departed after four songs.

She moved up to recline on the stage during a couple of songs, largely hidden from view, as many of her performances were melancholic and didn’t align with the festival’s lively atmosphere.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must share an intriguing observation from last night’s event. The anticipation was palpable as the audience eagerly awaited her performance, enduring an hour-long wait with patient enthusiasm. However, when she took the stage, it became apparent that the crowd wasn’t resonating with her selection of tunes. In retrospect, perhaps a more upbeat song would have better matched their vibe.

TopMob has contacted representatives for Lana Del Rey and Festival Republic for comment.
