Lana Del Rey kept fans waiting for a whole half an hour before finally taking to The Other Stage at Glastonbury on Saturday night.
The Summertime Sadness singer was 30 minutes late to her hotly-anticipated slot at the Worthy Farm festival.
Crowds at the alternative main stage grew restless as the US singer was nowhere to be seen, with chants of ‘We want Lana’ ringing through the field.
Audiences at home also became agitated, with Twitter users branding her ‘Lana Del Late’.
Lana eventually entered the stage in a black collared outfit which was removed to reveal a white dress decorated with a religious pattern paired with a diamond-style headpiece.
The singer curated a theatrical style performance for her set which saw her hair and make-up get tended to on stage while dancers dressed in black mesh dresses moved elegantly around her.

After performing Cherry, she told the crowd: ‘Thank you so much, I’m so happy to be here.’
The delay came after reports that the Born To Die singer was not impressed that she was not initially billed as the main act on the stage for Saturday on the first line-up poster.
This year’s Glastonbury line-up was been subject to criticism due to its all-male headline acts and lack of diversity.
Fans of Lana, 37, were also fuming after noticing she didn’t have prominent positioning as one of the stage headliners, with top billing – as always – given to the Pyramid Stage acts and the rest of the line-up listed in alphabetical order.
Reacting to her not being specifically announced as the Other Stage headliner, the singer left a sassy comment under Glastonbury’s Instagram post.
‘Thanks for announcing that I was headlining the other stage. Thumbs up’, she wrote.
But, her Glasto performance did go down a treat in the end, with one viewer praising her as ‘the greatest pop star on the planet right now.’
‘God is a woman and her name is Lana Del Rey’, wrote another.
‘Lana Del Rey more than making up for being 30 min late’, one added.
