Lana Del Rey Curfew

[Tom_12]

So they just cut Lana short as she came on late due to the curfew.

Pretty gutting as it had been a really good set that far.

You’d have thought they’d have paid a fine ala Springsteen

[Trunks1993]

was class, cried three times. was a gutting end!

[glasto_veteran]

Her fault entirely. Don’t pull a fit when you’re not cited as a headliner then eat up half an hour of your allocated time.

When Axl is beating you on punctuality… you only have yourself to blame.

[northernringo]

Feels like there was pettiness on both sides.

Lana maybe being late due to her annoyance at her billing.

The organisers cutting her due to her lateness.

Only losers here are the fans - missed the best two songs of the set.

[Drinky]

Paying a fine because you start on time and overrun with special guests like McCartney is one thing. Paying a fine because the talent wanted an extra 30 mins to do their hair just how they like it… probably not

Parallels with Pharrell and NERD in 2010

Shame they didn’t cut her some slack. What I saw of her set was enchanting.

[JayDiesel]

Real shame to end like that, but singing Video Games acapella was pretty special. Slightly surprised that stages are only given 15 minutes 'leeway' for curfew - Woodsies was about 40 mins behind at one point today, so unsure how they'd navigate around that.

And yes, I know it was Lana's fault for being late, but it's really gutting to miss out on some big songs - also thought they might be able to have someone on a mic at least say 'Hey, sorry, she's gone over, have a good night'

It was brilliant.  

They didn’t even let her speak to the crowd.

Harsh.

 

 Should have sorted her hair out faster I guess.

Maybe she should have turned up on time then

Why should they cut her any slack when she spits in the festival's face by turning up half an hour late

Totally different.

They weren't late the stage was running behind for nearly all acts, Regina Spektor went way over time before them

I see what your saying.

How about us that wanted to see her set though?

Blame her for that, not the festival

She should have thought about the fans that wanted to see the set

[northernringo]

I guess this is the last time we will see LDR at Glasto

[Tom_12]

Either pay a fine which they were happy to do on multiple occasions or be more firm with her management side of stage so that they rejig the set to get the best two songs in. What would have happened if she was on the pyramid?

[Hotfry]

Apparently they only cut her off because Dave Grohl was about to come on for another guest appearance. 

[WestCountryGirl]

I was very nervous about this exact thing happening, considering her having been half hour late to both her recent shows. I of course hoped she would buck up for this, but it wasn't to be. As we neared the half hour late mark I actually started worrying that she may just not come out at all.. but she did. And I enjoyed the next hour the most I could, trying to forget about the possibility of tunes being cut.

I was so proud of her for the show she put on. Her voice was so beautiful and she sang so much more confidently than she has on those most recent outings. I get that she likes a busy stage to aid with her stage fright I guess, but she had put much more thought into that too. The whole thing was amazing. Much the same set as recently, but I love all of her songs, essentially, so every one was a hit for me.

It was gutting to realise she had been cut off. Indeed there was no one to blame but her, and I'm gutted. 

This half made me think I really do need to get tickets for Hyde Park - but then ai figure, if she is terminally late and does the same there, they will cut her off too (I was there when they did it for Bruce). Going all that way to miss the same songs again would be a real "fool me once.." situation.

[Lubic]

Looks like we probably missed out on Venice Bitch, Summertime Sadness and Video Games. Also been playing Ocean Boulevard and Diet Mountain Dew, but doubt she would have had time for those anyway.

She had a whole hour to talk to the crowd.

Pretty sure she would have been told before she even started that they'd hard cut at midnight, and that she would have had sight of a clock (as all main stages do).

[Thunderstruck]

She’s an idiot. f**king doing her hair, what a load of bullshit. Picked her over guns and Christine. She can get f**ked.

[devli]

She obviously wasn't "doing her hair" and she obviously had been told about the curfew. She just thought she was above the law. Shame, because the full set would probably have been the best of the weekend.

[Suprefan]

Sounds like Frank Ocean.... not a good feeling now is it.

[fraybentos1]

Had low expectations but she sounded great. Shame she seems a f**king idiot

She was half an hour late to a 75 minute headline show. Bollcoks is it pettiness on the festival's side. Same sh*t happened at Coachella with ocean. Have some respect for your audience and the circumstances of your agreement. To hold anyone accountable other than Lana is nonsense
