Lana Del Rey to play Hampden Park next year
- Published
Lana Del Rey has announced a stadium gig at Glasgow's Hampden Park next summer.
The gig on 26 June will be part of the singer's biggest ever UK and Ireland tour, and will see her playing stadiums in Cardiff, Liverpool, Dublin and London.
The 39-year-old topped the bill at this year's Reading and Leeds festival and also headlined the famous American festival Coachella.
She also made headlines after marrying her boyfriend Jeremy Dufrene, an alligator tour guide, in Louisiana in September.

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.
