New Lana Album Still MIA, but Tour’s Got Sad Bangers and TikTok Stars

Lana Del Rey has officially announced the openers for her upcoming UK and Ireland stadium tour, which starts June 23 in Cardiff. London Grammar will handle the melancholy vibes in Cardiff, Banks will glide through Glasgow, Liverpool, and Dublin, and then, in the most unexpected twist since Lana covered Sublime, Addison Rae will be joining her at Wembley for two nights of “what is even happening anymore.”

The tour was originally supposed to support an album called Lasso, then The Right Person Will Stay, now possibly My Album Title Changes More Than Your Boyfriend’s Mood Swings. It was due in May, then delayed, and now it’s floating somewhere in the sonic ether, rebranding itself spiritually every full moon.

Two songs have emerged from the fog: “Bluebird,” a soft, sad drift through some kind of country haze, and “Henry, Come On,” which sounds like Lana arguing with a man who owns too many denim jackets. She also previewed “57.5” at Stagecoach, where she casually mentioned kissing Morgan Wallen, which raised eyebrows, blood pressure, and possibly the ghost of Johnny Cash.

The album is said to lean country, though with Lana that could mean anything from pedal steel to moody synths recorded in a haunted grain silo. No tracklist yet. No release date. No rules.

In the meantime, the tour rolls on, Addison Rae is bringing whatever Addison Rae brings, and Lana is probably somewhere writing a bridge that rhymes “heartache” with “Waffle House.”
