The criticism's fair for an outsider. But for fans, most of us were very happy with it. We've come to expect short gigs from Lana. When she sold a promo gig at an arena as a proper tour date and didn't do that many songs, I knew from that moment on to just know this is the way it is. I don't like the fact that she performs very random setlists that bear no correlation to the current album she has out for sure. But she put in a great vocal performance and it was great seeing her for the first time in years. That's what people need to understand: the last time she was supposed to do arena dates in the UK was in 2020. She had to cancel them as she got ill and then the pandemic happened immediately afterwards and she never did UK dates since. And she's released 4 albums in that time. Basically, these are the first proper UK tour dates she's done in 7 years (and longer if you weren't lucky enough to get a ticket to her extremely limited promo gigs in 2018). I think it's why she's doing stadiums - to give her UK fans the biggest chance of seeing her live after letting us down so often and not giving us proper tour dates since her debut.

as someone that saw her in concert in 2017, not at all. she used to actually give a ****, stage anxiety be damned. it's clear she just has no passion for performing and it shows in every performance from the last 5 years. i'd even argue she has no passion in her music either given how lackluster the singles she released (for an album that was delayed with no future date or info given) were. 

Ahh.....so she cared for a period of time 8 years ago. Got it.
