It’s been a while since Lana Del Rey performed live, but her first full concert in over three years was quite a treat. She debuted six new songs while performing at the MITA Festival in Brazil, including several singles from her latest album Ocean Blvd.

Del Rey used her headlining spot at the MITA Festival in Rio de Janeiro to debut four songs from her latest album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, released earlier this year, including its title track, “A&W”, “The Grants”, and “Candy Necklace” featuring Jon Batiste.

Two songs that she’d never performed live before were also included in her set: “Arcadia” from Blue Banisters and “Flipside” from her 2014 album Ultraviolence. She failed to make room for any songs featured on her seventh studio album Chemtrails over the Country Club, released around six months before Blue Banisters in 2021.

The singer’s setlist also included some of her biggest hits, including “Video Games”, “Summertime Sadness”, “Young & Beautiful”, “Blue Jeans”, and “Born to Die”. This is her first full live concert since 2019, and it served as a great warm-up for her upcoming headlining spot on the Other Stage at Glastonbury later this summer.
