Act now to avoid Summertime Sadness – The Irish Times

Grammy-nominated American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey comes to Ireland next year as part of her Britain and Ireland tour, when she will play Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on June 30th.

Fans can expect to enjoy some new music at the gig as Del Rey’s tour announcement was closely followed by news of her latest album, The Right Person Will Stay, set to release on May 21st, 2025.

She is due to perform in Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool and Dublin, ending her run at London’s Wembley Stadium. The soulful star has had a busy 2024 – featuring headline performances at festivals such as Coachella, Reading and Leeds, and Rock en Seine, as well as her first stadium show at Boston’s Fenway Park.

Best-known for her hit song Summertime Sadness, Del Rey promises to serve up a wide range spanning her nine (soon-to-be 10) studio albums.

This tour will mark her first Britain and Ireland stadium shows. Her last Irish show, which took place in the 3Arena in summer 2023, was lauded as “glorious” by The Irish Times.

Can I still get my hands on a presale ticket?

Count your lucky stars – MCD’s presale begins on Thursday morning at 10am, lasting until 9am this Friday. The window to register for presale access is still open here, but for a short time only as codes will be sent out to successful fans on Wednesday evening.

The chance to register for Del Rey’s artist presale has passed, with tickets for this on sale now. It’s worth noting that Ticketmaster will not allow you to access tickets from the same account on more than one device.

Help! I don’t have a presale code. When are general tickets going on sale?

Have your device of choice charged and Ticketmaster login at the ready because tickets are due to go on general sale at 10am this Friday, November 29th.

Are there likely to be long queues for online tickets?

Yes. Brace yourself for some sturdy competition, as ticket prices vary significantly and thousands of equally eager fans will be vying for the best view. We suggest joining the queue a bit early to give yourself the best chance of success.

It’s unclear at the moment exactly how ticket sales are going to operate, we are awaiting a response from the promoter on this. Dynamic ticket pricing has caused a lot of controversy recently, putting concertgoers at risk of being caught unaware as ticket prices soar based on real-time demand.

Well, how much can I expect to pay to see Lana?

It won’t be cheap. Tickets start at €89.50, ranging up to €166.25 for the premium Lana Del Rey experience. As usual, these prices are subject to TicketMaster’s meddling 12.5 per cent service charge which will attach up to an additional €10.50 to your total at the checkout.

Will there be a ticket limit?

Yes, you can buy a maximum of six tickets.
