Background

On July 31, 2019, Del Rey announced that her sixth studio album Norman Fucking Rockwell! would be released on August 30. The following day, she announced that the album's release would be followed by a tour.[1][2]

The stops for the first leg of the tour were primarily along the west coast of North America, with a few stops in major cities elsewhere in Canada and the United States.[3] On September 16, 2019, Del Rey confirmed on radio 102.7KIISFM, that the tour would have four legs. The first leg would take place in the West Coast of North America during fall 2019, while the second leg would be in Europe during winter 2020. The third leg took place in the Midwest of North America in November 2019 with a final show in Abu Dhabi. The fourth leg, would consist of Southeastern U.S. states like Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida as well as festival shows in Europe and South America from March to June 2020, was eventually cancelled.[citation needed]
