Lana Del Rey suffers sound points at Reading Festival
Lana Del Rey suffered sound issues during her performance at Reading Festival on Saturday night which saw some fans leave after just four tracks in.
The singer-songwriter, 39, who arrived on stage 15 minutes late, also drew complaints about her ‘depressing’ setlist.
She opened her slot with Norman F****** Rockwell, before going into Arcadia, Without You and West Coast.
However, Lana battled technical difficulties when she was drowned out by ‘techno’ music coming from another stage.
The crowd were heard chanting ‘turn it up, turn it up!’ as they struggled to hear the musician’s ‘quiet’ singing.

A source told MailOnline: ‘She looked amazing and the set was a castle themed but unfortunately it was so quiet we could barely hear and the base from the other stage drowned her out.
‘She asked at one point, “Can you hear me over that techno?” The crowd was chanting, “Turn it up”, and a lot left by four songs in.
‘She went onto lie down on the stage for a song or two and no one could see her and most of her songs were depressing and not right for the festival vibe.
‘The crowd were really looking forward to seeing her and waited for her set for over an hour but she needed to sing something more upbeat as the crowd were unfortunately not vibing.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Lana Del Rey and Festival Republic for comment.
After Lana’s set, Fred again.. performed on the main stage for his first ever UK headline performance.
