Lana Del Rey fans fume her Glastonbury set is still not on BBC iPlayer

Lana Del Rey fans fume that her Glastonbury set is still not available on BBC iPlayer – after chaotic performance where late start meant her mic was cut off

Lana Del Rey fans fumed that her Glastonbury set was still not available on BBC iPlayer on Sunday afternoon.

The singer, 38, headlines the Other Stage on Saturday night but the next day those keen to watch were left wondering why it wasn’t on catch up. 

On the night Lana unfortunately had her microphone completely cut off during the set as she hit curfew after taking to the stage 30 minutes late.

She left festival-goers eagerly awaiting her arrival as she was due to take to the stage at 10.30pm, but did not step out until around 11pm.

Despite the delayed start many on Sunday were frustrated they couldn’t watch on iPlayer as one wrote: ‘Is the #lanadelrey set going to be on BBC #glastonbury #iPlayer? Still not gone live. Or is she on the naughty step?’.

Another said: ‘Why is Lana Del Rey’s set not on iPlayer? She was a headliner!’.

A third wrote: ‘Curious that Lana Del Rey’s set is still the only one missing from the iPlayer. Wonder if they haven’t given them the rights.’

Someone else penned: ‘Hi BBC, any idea why Lana Del Rey is not on iplayer? It’sthe only thing I wanted to see….#glastonbury2023 @bbcglasto #Lana’.

A fifth said: ‘Where’s Lana Del Rey’s headlining set on the iPlayer? No mention of her on the live coverage after her set either, after you cut her mic off. You’ve done her dirty!’

Another penned: ‘Is Lana Del Rey going to be on iPlayer catch-up? Thx.’

A different person said: ‘Lana Del Rey on the naughty step by any chance? 30 minutes late and then escorted offstage at midnight due to the curfew. Now BBC iplayer appear to have airbrushed her out of the festival. Can YOU find her?’.

A BBC spokesperson said: ‘Lana Del Rey’s set was broadcast in full on Saturday night and we are delighted that we can include selected tracks as part of our on-demand offer on BBC iPlayer, as agreed with the artist.’ 

Lana kicked off her set with a bang but was quick to address why she had been late, bizarrely saying it was because her hair took a long time to do, and she even got a stylist on stage to finish off her look.

Lana had vowed to do her set as originally planned, but was unable to do so as she was abruptly cut off mid-performance when the midnight curfew hit.

Awkward! Lana kicked off her set with a bang but was quick to address why she had been late, bizarrely saying it was because her hair took a long time to do, and she even got a stylist on stage to finish off her look

Glastonbury are not allowed to play music on any major stages past midnight, and Lana’s set had been due to end at 11.45pm, but was still going on more than 15 minutes later.

After she was cut off, Lana began speaking to the crowds without a microphone and gesturing, and her fans soon realised what she was asking as they all started singing her smash hit Video Games.

The star had no doubt been leaving her most popular track until last, and got the crowds to belt out the hit for her when she was left unable to sing any longer.

In a bid to make it up to her fans, Lana stepped down off the stage and greeted festival-goers in the front row, signing Summertime Sadness with them and signing autographs.

Lana was flanked by security and her team as she greeted her emotional and overwhelmed fans, before she was escorted off stage after the very abrupt ending. 

Earlier in her show, Lana had addressed why she was 30 minutes late and vowed to do her setlist as originally planned, even if organisers ‘cut the power off’.

She told the crowds: ‘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!’

After getting her hair done was her reason for her late arrival, Lana also got her stylist on stage to finish off her look while she belted out her hits.

As she sat on a chair to perform, her hair stylist was seen unpinning her up-do and going to work combing out her locks so they fell loosely over her shoulders.

Lana had originally appeared on stage with her glossy brunette tresses all pinned back into a voluminous up-do, fixed in place with a silver hairpiece.

But she later wore the bottom half of her locks cascading across her shoulders after her stylist had come prepared with combs and hairbrushes on to the stage. 

Lana had first appeared on stage in a black overcoat fastened together with a chunky belt, before her backing dancers ripped it off to reveal her dress underneath.

She looked effortlessly elegant in a long-sleeved white satin shirt, which she teamed with a coordinated mini skirt and heeled shoes. 

Her performance came at the same time that headliners Guns N Roses were performing on the Pyramid stage, which also played host to a whole array of stars on Friday.
