The one-off show will take place on Wednesday, August 21, the day before the Rock En Seine 2024 festival is set to take place. The special concert will mark Del Rey’s only performance in France for the entirety of summer 2024. It follows her first appearance at Domaine de Saint-Cloud in 2014 as well as her surprise show at the Olympia last summer.
Lana Del Rey has just shared a surprise one-off cover of the John Denver standard “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Give it a listen below.
This fall, Del Rey went on a U.S. tour focusing on the South and Appalachia. The run ended in West Virginia’s capitol, Charleston. She recently covered another American classic: “Unchained Melody.” She performed it at Graceland for a televised holiday special.
When it came Del Rey’s time in front of the cameras, she didn’t mess about. The “Summertime Sadness” singer performed a trademark moody rendition of “Unchained Melody,” a hit for the Righteous Brothers’ in the mid-60s. Elvis, of course, turned the song into a piece of history with a stirring performance on June 21, 1977 at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City, South Dakota. Elvis passed less than two months later, at the age of 42.
Lana Del Rey has revealed money from ticket sales on her tour has been "poured right back" into the cities where she has been performing.
The pop star has spent much of this year on the road playing shows in Europe and South America and she wrapped up the US leg of her trek with a concert in Charleston, West Virginia on October 5 and she told the crowd there she's been using money from ticket sales to do good.
She told the audience: "I just wanted to say thank you to you and just every city I’ve gone to before this … and I just wanted to let you know for what it's worth every ticket, every dollar, it is poured right back into the city."
