Del Rey, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, will be closing the three week-long festival this July alongside a range of special guests that have yet to be announced.
Armed with her best hits like Blue Jeans, Born to Die and Summertime Sadness, Del Rey is set to perform at the London event just two weeks after taking on Glastonbury Festival. She’ll be using the gigs to promote her ninth and newest studio album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.
Her latest album came out in March and quickly got her to the number one spot on the UK charts for the sixth time in her career, but that’s just another rung on the ladder for Lana Del Rey.
Hailed by Variety magazine as “one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 21st century”, Del Rey has achieved five UK top 10 singles and 11 UK top 40s. Her breakthrough came in 2011 with the song Video Games, and since then she’s gone on to win two BRIT Awards, two MTV Europe Music Awards, a Satellite Award, and six Grammy nominations.
With her melancholic style and pop-culture filled lyrics, she remains on a winning streak and is now tied for the top acts with the most UK Number Ones.
So, if you’re ready to feel like you’re on the West Coast, find out how to get tickets now.
