Lana Del Rey unveiled the eight-date “Norman Fucking Rockwell!” tour on Thursday, a day after announcing the Aug. 30 release of her album of the same name.
The brief trek, produced by Live Nation, begins Sept. 21 at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y., on Long Island, before heading across the continent for seven West Coast dates. Those shows kick off Sept. 30 at Vancouver’s Pepsi Live at Rogers Arena and conclude Oct. 11 at San Diego’s Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre. (Del Rey’s Oct. 6 show at Berkeley, Calif.’s Greek Theatre is the tour’s sole date not produced by Live Nation.)

The poster for Del Rey’s fall dates notes that it is leg one of the “Norman Fucking Rockwell!” tour.
A promotional poster shared for the event notes that this is “leg one” of the “Norman Fucking Rockwell!” tour. The newly announced dates actually precede a previously announced European string that begins at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on Feb. 21, 2020, and concludes at Cologne, Germany’s Lanxess Arena on March 3, 2020, with Stops at London’s 02 and Berlin’s Mercedes-Benz Arena along the way.
Del Rey just wrapped a month-long tour of European festivals that included stops at Lollapalooza Stockholm and England’s Latitude Festival. But outside of a Mardi Gras performance at New Orleans’ BUKU Music + Art Project in March, these fall gigs represent Del Rey’s first stateside shows since early 2018.
Del Rey had her most successful touring year yet in 2018, securing a No. 81 ranking on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 100 Worldwide Tours chart with $22.5 million grossed. Her 2018 box office highlights included an April concert at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena that, with $1.21 million grossed, stands as Del Rey’s highest-grossing single show to date, according to Pollstar Boxoffice data. She also notched her two highest North American grosses yet, bringing in $966,494 and $1.06 million at Boston’s TD Garden and Toronto’s Scotiabank, respectively, in January 2018.
Norman Fucking Rockwell! is Del Rey’s sixth album and her first since 2017’s Grammy-nominated Lust For Life. Largely produced and co-written by pop auteur Jack Antonoff, the album includes previously released songs “Venice Bitch,” “Mariners Apartment Complex” and “hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but I have it,” as well as her cover of Sublime’s “Doin’ Time.”
Tickets for leg one of Del Rey’s “Norman Fucking Rockwell!” tour go on sale to the general public on Aug. 9 at 10 a.m. local time. Find the list of dates below.
