Lana Del Rey has announced a second show at London’s Wembley Stadium due to demand – you can find all the details below.

The singer-songwriter is set to embark on a UK and Ireland stadium tour next summer in support of her upcoming new album ‘The Right Person Will Stay’, which is released in May.

Del Rey initially confirmed huge gigs in Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin and London. Tickets for these dates then went on general sale at 9am GMT this morning (November 29).

Now, after selling out her first Wembley appearance (July 3), the ‘Video Games’ artist has scheduled another date in the capital for Friday July 4. Tickets for the second concert are on sale now – buy yours here.

On X/Twitter, Wembley Stadium said there had been “incredible demand” for the first performance at the massive venue. See the announcement post below.

The forthcoming shows mark Del Rey’s first stadium dates in the UK and Ireland, and follow her headline slots at this year’s Reading & Leeds and Coachella.

Lana Del Rey’s 2025 UK and Ireland tour dates are:

JUNE
23 – Principality Stadium, Cardiff
26 – Hampden Park, Glasgow
28 – Anfield Stadium, Liverpool
30 – Aviva Stadium, Dublin

JULY
03 – Wembley Stadium, London
04 – Wembley Stadium, London (new date)

Del Rey’s upcoming 10th album, ‘The Right Person Will Stay’, will follow the star’s 2023 record ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’. It is due for release on May 21.

Writing on Instagram, the singer revealed that the LP would contain 13 tracks and suggested the lead single would be called ‘Henry’.

She had already confirmed that the new project would see her venture into country music, and that regular collaborator Jack Antonoff and country musician Luke Laird would be involved.

However, the album’s title appears to have changed as Del Rey had previously said it would be called ‘Lasso’.

Speaking to NME earlier this year, she hinted that the lyrics may be lighter than on her more recent material.

“I’ve maybe less to say in terms of any self-revealing things like on ‘Tunnel’ or ‘Blue Bannisters’ or ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’, and just more melodic,” Del Rey said. “Maybe more American Songbook style?”

In October, she addressed the ongoing wait for the album, saying she was following her instincts after feeling a “literal energetic pause”.

Del Rey then said more recently that the ‘Lasso’ title could change “because there was a lot of American flair, too much of that very American aesthetic”. She added: “I might turn it into something more ‘southern gothic’, like it was supposed to be in the beginning, and less country.”
