Lana Del Rey to play Hampden Park in Glasgow next year

Must read

Del Rey – real name Elizabeth Woolridge Grant – shot to fame in 2011 after her single Video Games was released, followed by her self-titled debut album.

She has since released nine albums and scooped a number of accolades, including two BRIT awards, while cultivating a mysterious, glamorous image.

Her latest effort, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, received positive reviews and was nominated for the Album of the Year prize at the Grammy Awards.

The Hampden gig will be her first Scottish show since a 2017 performance at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.

However she has other ties to the city – she dated Glaswegian singer Barrie James O’Neill, who played in the band Kassidy, for a spell.

Hampden has hosted pop gigs regularly in recent years, with pop star Pink and rock band Foo Fighters playing there this summer.

Tickets go on sale on Friday at 10:00.
