Background

Lana Del Rey first announced the Born to Die Tour in August and September 2011, at the time featuring a schedule of just four shows at very small venues. However, after the shows sold out in a shorter amount of time than expected, the original four shows were postponed and moved to larger venues, along with the announcement of more dates.[3] On September 14, 2011, prior to the beginning of the tour, Del Rey headlined a secret concert at the Glasslands Gallery under the name "Queen of Coney Island".[4]
