Lana Del Rey hints she might cancel her Glastonbury performance

• Lana Del Rey has made hints that she might cancel her Glastonbury performance.
• The diva was “disappointed” and felt “let down,” a person close to her said.
• “She feels let down being presented as an afterthought lagging behind the all-male trio.”

Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses, and Sir Elton John were listed as the festival’s headliners at the top of a promotional poster alongside Lizzo, who organiser Emily Eavis claimed would have headlined if the ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ hitmakers hadn’t already been guaranteed top billing. The ‘Born to Die’ singer wasn’t pleased that organisers didn’t announce she will have one of the top slots at this year’s festival.

Lana wrote on Instagram: “Well, I’m actually headlining the 2nd stage. But since there was no consideration for announcing that we’ll see.”

The diva was “disappointed” and felt “let down,” a person close to her said.

The insider told The Sun on Sunday newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Lana is disappointed. She was proud to be doing a headline slot, but on the announcement graphic her name is buried among lesser-known artists.

“She feels let down being presented as an afterthought lagging behind the all-male trio.”

Emily, the festival’s organiser, recently responded to criticism of the festival’s all-male headliners.

Emily urged the larger music industry to support female performers more by claiming there are two ladies lined up to headline next year.

She said: “We’re trying our best so the pipeline needs to be developed. This starts way back with the record companies, radio. I can shout as loud as I like but we need to get everyone on board…

“It’s top of our agenda, and it probably makes it a bit harder because we’ve decided to make that important to us. To be honest, sometimes it’s easier to keep your head down.”
