First things first: do not expect a simple “greatest hits” parade. Lana is an artist who treats her setlist like a moody, vintage mixtape. You’ll get the classics—“Video Games,” “Summertime Sadness,” and “Young and Beautiful”—but she’ll also throw in a deep cut that makes you feel like a superfan, even if you’ve only heard it twice.
One surprising fact? She often opens with “A&W” (the seven-minute epic from her last album). It’s not exactly a “pump-up” song; it’s more of a slow, hypnotic spell. You’ll stand there, phone half-raised, wondering if you should cry or just sway dramatically. Do both. No one’s judging.
UK Special: The Queen of Hearts
Here’s the tea—Lana loves the UK. She’s famously said she feels more at home here than in America sometimes. So, expect a few cheeky surprises: she might swap out a song for a random cover of “Chelsea Hotel No. 2” (Leonard Cohen style) or, God help us, a snippet of “God Save Our Young and Beautiful Queens.” It’s not real, but she’s that extra.
And don’t be shocked if she dedicates a song to “the rain, the fog, and the 14 cups of tea I’ve had today.” She’s a national treasure now. We’ve claimed her.
