The final headliner for the 10th anniversary of London’s festival American Express presents BST Hyde Park has been announced as none other than the incredible Lana Del Rey. Her huge headline show takes place on Sunday 9 July, with special guests to be announced.
Since the release of her major debut album Born To Die eleven years ago, which featured the viral hit Video Games, Lana Del Rey has captivated audiences globally. The remix of Summertime Sadness gave the songstress her first Top 10 US hit. Her second album, 2014’s critically acclaimed album Ultraviolence with singles West Coast and Brooklyn Baby followed. Her subsequent albums include 2019’s GRAMMY®-nominated Norman Fucking Rockwell!, 2021’s Blue Banisters, and 2023’s Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, which hit No.1 in the UK last month.
Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is Del Rey’s 6th UK number 1 album and is the fastest selling album of 2023 in the UK. BST Hyde Park will be one of the first places to hear tracks from the new album live, alongside much loved classics, following an Other Stage headline slot at Glastonbury Festival.Having embarked on 5 headlining tours, the 37-year-old has performed at the biggest festivals across the globe, including Coachella in 2014 to seven Lollapalooza festivals internationally. Her Summer 2023 BST Hyde Park gig sees Lana’s highly anticipated return to the London stage.
