Lana Del Rey's Impressive Debut at Reading and Leeds

The performance of Lana Del Rey, the American singer-songwriter, during Reading Festival, which took place on the 24th of August, was particularly vivid and impressive. This debut had bearing and served not only to reveal the weak points but to better understand the rapidly changing trend of the international music festival.

Reading is a rock festival that’s venue appreciates history. First of all, it is a rock event that takes place not in the village of Reading in the documentary county of Berkshire as it is often (and quite wrongly) stated on Wikipedia, where this event is mentioned. Over the past decade and a half, yes, two, the festival has purely organically moved away from exclusively rock performances to include all popular performers in such styles of music as pop music, Basso nova, rhumba, hard rock, and heavy metal. Therefore, the performance of the 29 year-old Lana Del Rey showed a clear awareness of the trend and strategy for the future.

I would like to draw especial attention of the reader to the fact that her performance was somewhat not just a debut, not only for Reading Festival but, to a certain extent, for the singer herself since it was the first time in her more than ten-year career that she demonstrated such brilliant, though not a surprise to the judges performance. Moreover, from the decade of 2010s, she was always favorite to become sometimes the hostess of either Reading or Leeds festivals, if not in both. Treading on the heels of take that, for good reasons, it was bantered and trolled and postponed the announcement of the results of Reading Festivals for many years. Andreas Tig mentioned that the delay was conditioned not only and not so much by legal disputes by the lawyer, including the surviving members of the Duran Duran band but, to a much greater extent, by the singer herself since she signed a contract to go on the tour of Continental Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand when the Reading line-up was announced and it was already too late as for the Leeds. Now there is not need to talk about it. We are talking about what happened. But what did happen!!!
