Lana Del Rey Shares Her Heartfelt Bond with Liverpool Ahead of Anfield Concert
So tonight’s the night—Lana Del Rey is gracing Liverpool’s iconic Anfield Stadium, and honestly, the excitement is palpable. But what makes this particular stop on her UK tour feel extra special isn’t just the music—it’s her genuine affection for the city and its people. Lana didn’t just roll into town for a gig; this place means something to her.
Back in 2013, she made her first visit to Anfield. It wasn’t for a concert or a press appearance—it was to watch Liverpool FC in action. She witnessed a thrilling 3-2 win over Tottenham, thanks to a last-minute Steven Gerrard penalty, and from that day on, something clicked. That day wasn’t just memorable for the match—it was Lana's introduction to the full Anfield experience, and she was completely taken by it.

Her love for Liverpool FC didn’t come out of the blue either. She’s credited her manager, Ben, for introducing her to the Reds. Apparently, his mood rises and falls with Liverpool’s match results. And at the time, she had a special admiration for Luis Suarez’s performance on the pitch. It was real, heartfelt, and surprisingly relatable for so many fans.
But what really stayed with her? The people. Lana’s been open about how she was blown away by Scousers—the warmth, the welcome, the undeniable charm. “The people in Liverpool are so friendly,” she said. And tonight, that mutual admiration comes full circle as she prepares to perform for those very fans who made such a lasting impression.
She’s no stranger to expressing this connection either. In 2020, she recorded an emotional a cappella rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” a song so deeply entwined with Liverpool FC and its community. The haunting cover was featured in a documentary about the club—and let’s be honest, fans tonight will be hoping she performs it live for the first time on this exact stage.
This show also marks the grand finale of an incredible summer concert season at Anfield, where global icons like Bruce Springsteen and Dua Lipa have already brought down the house. And now it’s Lana’s turn—not just to perform, but to truly connect, to pay homage to a city and a crowd that clearly holds a special place in her heart.
Tonight isn’t just another date on a tour schedule. For Lana Del Rey and for Liverpool, it feels like a reunion. Anfield won’t just be echoing with music—it’ll be echoing with a shared story, one that began over a decade ago in the stands and continues under the stage lights tonight.
