The LA to the Moon Tour is the fifth concert tour and third worldwide concert tour by Lana Del Rey. It is in support of her fourth major-label album, Lust for Life. The tour began on January 5, 2018, at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and concluded at Hajógyári Island in Budapest, Hungary on August 10, 2018.

Background[]

Shortly after the release of Lust for Life, Del Rey embarked on a small promotional concert tour in support of the album that mostly consisted of festival performances in Europe and North America as well as select concerts at intimate venues in London, San Diego, Anaheim, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and New York City, as well as two less intimate arena shows in Liverpool and Glasgow. These shows took place from July to October 2017, prior to the LA to the Moon Tour.

On August 19, 2017, Del Rey shared a video explaining that she was planning a world tour in support of her recent album, Lust for Life. On September 11, Del Rey met a fan in Los Angeles who asked her when the tour would begin, which she responded that it would begin in January 2018. Shortly after, on September 21, Del Rey shared a video to announce that she would be unveiling a line of merchandise the next day, and that each person who purchased the merchandise would be given an exclusive pre-sale code for the tour. The next day, Del Rey livestreamed on Instagram to reveal her merchandise and discuss more details about the tour. The North American leg of the tour was announced the following week on September 27. On the same day, Del Rey revealed the Jhené Aiko and Kali Uchis would be joining her as opening acts, and that she would be performing at multiple festivals in South America.[1][2] Tickets for the North American leg became available for pre-sale on September 29, followed by general sale on October 2. The tour would include shows in North America, South America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East.[3] On October 16, 2017, Del Rey announced tour dates for shows in Australia and Europe.[4]

On January 16, 2018, it was announced that American indie pop and alternative singer-songwriter Børns would serve as the opening act for all three dates of the Australian leg of the tour from March 29 to April 2, 2018.

Production and development[]

In an interview for MTV which was published on October 31, 2017, Del Rey expressed that she wanted to create a stage for the tour which incorporated beach themed projections and moving structures that move in and out of the stage, as well as plant props which were prevalent on stage for her Paradise Tour.[5]

The stage design was revealed when the tour began on January 5, 2018. The set was designed by Jason Ardizzone-West and it features an array of plant and rock props, including large palm and monterey Cyprus trees on each side of the stage.[6] Two lounge chairs sit atop the rocks, where Del Rey or her dancers Ashley Rodriguez and Alexandria Kaye sit during select performances. In addition to the props, the stage is backed by a large screen that projects Del Rey's video visuals, designed by Storme Whitby-Grubb. The stage design also features two swings that retract from the ceiling and a large triangular wooden fixture that hangs above the stage.

Setlist[]

The setlist varies from date to date, but in total it has been composed of 49 songs: 11 from Lust for Life, 11 from Born to Die, 8 from Ultraviolence, 7 from Honeymoon, 4 from Paradise, 1 soundtrack song, 1 cover, 3 unreleased songs, and 3 other songs that are used as intros/interludes that Del Rey does not perform.
