Popular singer Lana Del Rey’s headlining set at the Glastonbury Festival was one of the highly anticipated performances. Her fans were elated to see their favorite artist perform, but things took a sharp turn after she arrived more than thirty minutes late. Fans became more upset when the singer’s headlining set at The Other Stage was cut short at midnight.

While addressing the issue, the singer said: “I was so f**king late that I am about to rush this set today, if they cut power, they cut power. I’m super f**king sorry, my hair takes so long to do. Let’s run the set as it’s supposed to go, let’s do it!”
The singer’s microphone was silenced and video screens were switched off after midnight. The crowd reacted by booing as Lana Del Rey removed her in-ear monitors. Viral videos from the festival show that the singer pleaded with the staff members to complete her set despite the technical difficulties. For those unaware, Glastonbury Festival does not allow music to play on its two major stages after midnight.
Social media users slashed out at the singer for turning up late to her headlining set. One of the users even wrote, “Showing up late is so rude and unprofessional and I really don’t care what anyone else says. There’s a reason why everything is scheduled at these events, it’s to make sure all the artists get their full sets.” Another commented, “They should start doing this to all artists that show up late. The title of her next song will definitely be “Escorted off stage by security at Glastonbury Festival.”
