Lana Del Rey's Reading Festival Set Cut Short

Lana Del Rey's performance at Reading Festival 2024 faced significant issues, including a late arrival and sound problems that led to complaints from attendees. The singer was 15 minutes late for her 8 PM set, which was cut short due to scheduling constraints, leaving her with only about 40 minutes to perform instead of the planned hour and 15 minutes. Fans reported that her music was drowned out by loud techno music from a nearby stage, prompting chants from the crowd to 'turn it up'. While some festivalgoers enjoyed her performance, others expressed disappointment, noting that the quieter songs in her set list did not match the festival atmosphere. Organizers later apologized for the shortened set, attributing the issue to a production error. Despite the challenges, Del Rey was met with applause as she concluded her set and watched the fireworks above her.
