Lana Del Rey concert chronology |
The Paradise Tour was the second concert tour by American recording artist, Lana Del Rey, in support of her third extended play, Paradise. The tour kicked off on April 3, 2013 at Galaxie Mega Hall in Amnéville, France and visited many major European countries during the spring and summer in 2013. The tour concluded on October 18, 2014 at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. Overall, the tour lasted over eighteen months from April 2013 to October 2014 and visited four continents.
On November 12, 2012, Del Rey released her third extended play, Paradise worldwide. The extended play was released as a stand-alone EP, but was also re-released with her second studio album, Born to Die, which was named Born to Die: The Paradise Edition. The EP debuted at number 10 on the United States Billboard 200 with a first week sales of 67,000 copies and also charted fairly in other European countries. The album also gained very positive reviews from many critics including the Rolling Stone calling the EP "conceptually sharp" and the Los Angeles Times stating that the album is "strong". Dates for a tour in support of the EP were announced on October 31, 2012 beginning with an extensive European leg of shows, and tickets became available on November 5, 2012. Gradually, Del Rey began to add more dates including festival and headlining shows in many European countries such as Germany, Sweden, and Norway. During 2013, Del Rey announced dates for United States, Turkey, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Most of the European shows from April to May 2013 were supported by Kassidy, a Scottish band fronted by Del Rey's then boyfriend, Barrie-James O'Neill.
