No! And I turn the channel to the main stage and Gun n' Roses are still playing

@NeverDropYourMooncup ha- I worked with someone exactly like that and the issue unbeknown to me was coke! And not the black bottled kind. My goodness, this person was a complete headfuck!!!

If she wanted to be treated like a professional, she should've acted like one and turned up for work on time.

This 💯

It’s beyond pathetic to be late on stage (at 10pm ffs!) because your hair wasn’t ready. And to then sit on stage having your hair finished, not even properly performing?!

Iplayer are quite often late getting performances online, just because it’s not there yet doesn’t mean it won’t be. Plus some acts don’t want their performances on there, the BBC aren’t ‘dissing’ LDR because her half arsed, half set isn’t online.

Rinoachicken · 25/06/2023 17:11

Born to Die is now on iPlayer but that’s it

Sammy900 · 25/06/2023 18:14

Has she atually said anything about this to the press afterwards?....I thought she might've been being sarcastic (joking) about it being her hair, she had her hair and make up done on the stage in 2 mins..

She should've took the curfew seriously though and fit in her last two main crowd pleasing songs rather than just going with it and hoping for the best

He may be a bit old hat to some of the trendies on here but im going to bet Elton John is perfectly on time !!

There's a reason why some people can go on forever and others star crashes and burns quite quickly and professionalism is one of them- along with being nice to crew and venue staff and not awkward to work with.

And I bet he'll be bloody amazing. We saw him at the O2 last month and he is always a showman.
He's also got pretty much the same band he's had since the 70s which say a lot about the man also.

She was late & disorganised. Blaming the delay on hair is not on, it did not look it had a lot of time spent on it tbh.

midnight cutoff is part of the Glastonbury licence- there is no lock in option.

Crikeyalmighty · 25/06/2023 19:39

@beguilingeyes he's also a very lovely man in private- I know a relative well and a lot about what he does for people. Musically I find him a bit hit and miss (some of it I love - Tiny Dancer in my top 10 songs ever) but will always have a great deal of admiration for him

Qilin · 25/06/2023 20:28

I think it should be pointed out that her set wasn't cut.
She had a time slot and a deadline/curfew.
She choice to sue some of her set time to do her hair.
Her fault she couldn't get through the wings she'd planned.

beguilingeyes · 25/06/2023 20:57

@Crikeyalmighty his 70s stuff is incredible. Like a.lot he people he got a bit lost in the 80s/90s but that early run of albums is just wonderful.

That’s one way to kill your career. Piss off your fans.

Seconding this, a friend of the family knew him (professionally) and he was nothing but delightful. No diva moments.

anonymous98 · 25/06/2023 21:10

I do like Lana but arriving late with your hairdresser is not the best.

This. ^ Lana is not big enough - or GOOD enough to play the Diva. Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna, Taylor Swift, Celine Dion, or Mariah Carey she ain't.

She has neither the fan base OR the talent of the above named, and her fan base is not giant. She will regret her behaviour.

As for @LaLaLouella and her bizarre and constant defending of Lana, PMSL at 'it's her 'artistry' and her 'personality,' and it's 'just the way she is....' 'Oooh my hair must look perfff, no matter if 1000s of people who have paid a fuckload of money are waiting to see me. MAKE them wait. I will be over half an hour late. Deal with it peasants! I'm a QUEEEEEEEEN!' 👑

Artistry my arse. 🙄She was just rude and arrogant, and full of self-importance, and thinks she is waaaay more important and popular than she is.

SD1978 · 25/06/2023 21:20

If he'd bend arsing around because of a daft issue, and been late, yes. She got her own set cut short, not anyone else.

Crikeyalmighty · 25/06/2023 21:37

@beguilingeyes I agree and most strong artists have some great and not do great periods.

Crikeyalmighty · 25/06/2023 21:40

@beguilingeyes he is very well liked in the business too- very loyal to his crew and musicians and looks after people.

massiveclamps · 25/06/2023 21:45

Watch and learn, Lana, watch and learn.

If Sir Elton John can fucking well turn up on time to entertain the multitude, so should you.

thesugarbumfairy · 26/06/2023 17:29

I think she's a disgrace and unfortunately for my DS he won't be going to see her in Hyde Park next month because if she can't turn up on time for a festival and blames her hair not being done (in spite of presumably having ALL DAY to get ready) then she can't be trusted to turn up for her own gig on time. I'm relieved because I can't stand her dirge, but I was prepared to do it for him. Piss poor, pathetic and unprofessional.

It's not just me being a half-wit because I couldn't find any of the Lana Del Rey set from Glastonbury...

Lana Del Rey

I thought the Norman F*ing Rockwell was awesome. Not quite so won over by the last album unfortunately.

Why is all Lana Del Rey’s Glastonbury set not on BBC iPlayer as fans fume

The US singer-songwriter had her mic cut off during her set after taking to the stage 30 minutes late, complaining that her hair takes ages to do

I love that Chrissie Hynde didn't f*ck around with her hair and makeup - straight on and gave the fans what they wanted - she's the real deal though - songwriter, guitarist, singer, very at ease on stage and talking to the audience.
