live performance UK Festival issues apology for sabotoging Lana Del Rey show.

[NOW]

 

 

 

Quote

Del Rey's appearance at Reading was beset by delays and sound problems, then brought to a premature end by organisers apparently so eager to get another techno DJ on that they switched off the PA with two songs to go, leaving one of the most revered contemporary stars on the planet stranded on stage, with no music playing, watching her own end of set fireworks with the crowd before departing with a helpless shrug. Reading Festival later "apologised unreservedly" for an "error by the Production Team" that "accidentally" cut her set short.'

 

Now, I don't know why Del Rey went on 15 minutes late – albeit it's certainly not in the league of her half hour late arrival at Glastonbury in 2023. But it looked like they were still building her set minutes before she made her belated entrance, whilst bass heavy electro dance music wafted from the Chevron stage on the other side of the site.

 

"Can you hear me over that techno?" Lana Del Rey asked from the so called Main Stage. The question deserves to printed on a t-shirt and handed out to every live musician forced to perform amidst the cacophony of clashing sound systems. There were chants of "turn it up, turn it up!" amongst Del Rey's devoted audience as they gamely sang along, carrying her delicate melodies above the interference. 

 

Del Rey smiled and kept on singing, clearly appreciating the audience's voluminous support, whilst frequently tapping her in ear monitor and saying things like "2 decibels up, please" to her crew. There is a huge dynamic range in Del Rey's songs, rising to fulsome emotional crescendos and descending to soft intimate lows. But the pulsing techno of DJ Sonny Fodera booming from over 500 metres away set everything ajar.
