Lana Del Rey has announced her very first performance headlining a stadium venue.
The recent Coachella headliner will be playing Boston's Fenway Park on June 20. The venue, which typically hosts Red Sox games, has a capacity of 37,755. Other massive artists like Morgan Wallen and the Zac Brown Band have played shows at the spacious venue.
Tickets for Del Rey's one night only show go on sale this Friday, May 10 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can also gain early access tickets through her artist pre-sale, which will allow people to purchase tickets on Wednesday, May 8. Tickets are being sold through Ticketmaster, which is currently under fire from the United States government, which claims that Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation Entertainment, are breaking antitrust laws.
Del Rey recently performed to a massive crowd at Coachella, which saw roughly 300,000 attendees this year. She arrived at her headlining set on the back of a motorcycle, presumably an ode to her song "Ride." She also featured a hologram of herself. Del Rey sang favorites like "Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have" and "Summertime Sadness."
The Blue Banisters artist brought out Billie Eilish during her performance at the music festival's first weekend. The two joined together to sing "Video Games" as well as Eilish's "Ocean Eyes." Jon Batiste also joined the alt-pop songstress for the song, "Candy Necklace."
"This is the reason for half you bitches' existence," Eilish said to the Coachella crowd, seemingly speaking to her fellow young female artists, "Including mine."
Camila Cabello was Del Rey's guest for her second performance the following weekend. Cabello performed her song, "I Luv It ft. Playboi Carti."
Del Rey also cost Coachella nearly $30,000 when her performance broke the area's sound curfew of 1 a.m. Her set ran 13 minutes over time, leading to a fine of $28,000.
Her June show in Boston will be the star's first stadium show as a headlining artist. Last fall, the singer stopped in several states that often receive less love from touring artists. She performed in spots like Franklin, Tennessee and Huntsville, Alabama. The tour notably skipped major cities like New York City and Los Angeles.
Del Rey will spend this upcoming summer performing at a variety of music festivals across the globe, ranging from Hangout Fest in Alabama to Reading and Leeds in the United Kingdom and Primavera Sound in Barcelona.
Fans reacted to the announcement of Del Rey's upcoming Fenway Park show with excitement and pride for the artist, believing that she is finally receiving her laurels.
"So happy for her, she's finally being recognized as the legend she is," wrote one fan.
"Mother knows she has demand," said another.
