Lana Del Rey Confirms Two Special LA Shows At Hollywood Forever Cemetery Oct.17 And 18 For 'ULTRAVIOLENCE' (Interscope/ Polydor U.K.)
Multi-platinum selling artist Lana Del Rey has confirmed two special shows at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on October 17 and 18 for her new album, 'ULTRAVIOLENCE' (Interscope/Polydor UK). Tickets go on fan pre-sale September 24 at 7pm PT, followed by public on-sale September 27 at 12pm PT (links below).
Lana played Atlanta’s Music Midtown Festival this weekend, with the Huntsville Times calling it a "great" performance. Other upcoming concerts include the Austin City Limits Festival and three shows in Mexico next month. Go here for the schedule: http://lanadelrey.com/live/
Lana has had an incredible year with the release of 'ULTRAVIOLENCE,' which debuted at #1 in 15 countries, including the U.S. and U.K., and earned her cover stories in Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Complex, and The Fader, among others. 'ULTRAVIOLENCE' has now sold over 1 million copies worldwide and has been named one of the best albums of 2014 by Rolling Stone, Complex, Stereogum, and more. The New York Times praised the album’s "retro sophistication," adding it "moves gracefully between heartache and sly humor," and Entertainment Weekly gave it a perfect A grade, saying it "unleashes [her] full potential."
Lana's first North American tour earlier this year was completely sold-out, with promoters from Montreal to Phoenix saying she set new sales records at their venues. Lana's previous album 'Born To Die' was recently certified PLATINUM by the RIAA and has sold over 3 million copies worldwide.
