If you didn’t manage to get a ticket for one of Lana Del Rey’s sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium on 3rd and 4th July, don’t worry – you can share the love for free.
Wembley Park has unveiled a brand-new mural in tribute to the American singer-songwriter whose music has inspired a generation. Painted on the side wall of the Spanish Steps, the mural — titled Lust for Life, after Lana Del Rey’s 2017 album — features a portrait of the artist seated in a turquoise 1950s pickup truck. A reference to the old-school Americana and classic car motifs that define her visual world, the 20 square metre spray-painted artwork was created by British street artist HUMOR in collaboration with street art collective MurWalls. It marks the newly named Lana Lane, complete with its own street sign.
Following the success of last summer’s Swiftie Steps — which featured two viral large-scale artworks by Frank Styles and HUMOR, both still on view — Wembley Park has renewed its collaboration with HUMOR and MurWalls. The new piece becomes the latest addition to the Wembley Park Art Trail, a free open-air gallery showcasing large-scale works by leading local and international artists across the Northwest London neighbourhood.
Complementing Lust for Life, Wembley Park invites fans and visitors to enjoy another free cultural moment ahead of Del Rey’s shows – Lana Del Rey: The String Sessions.
For one night only, an eight-piece string ensemble from London’s acclaimed City String Ensemble will perform orchestral reimaginings of Lana’s most iconic songs live in the open air at the Sound Shell in Samovar Space, beneath the iconic Wembley Stadium arch.
