Lana Del Rey fans experienced disappointment when they had to evacuate her first-ever stadium concert at Boston's Fenway Park due to thunderstorms and heavy rain.

The 38-year-old singer was prepared to perform on Thursday night, but severe weather caused significant delays. Originally scheduled for 8:30 pm, the concert was postponed until 10:30 pm.

Fans were asked to leave the stadium's field until the rain subsided, with an announcement on screens notifying them of the delay. The message stated, "Due to pending weather conditions, there will be a delay in tonight's performance.”

"All fans must leave the field seating and open air seating sections and seek shelter inside the stadium concourse immediately. Please take time to assemble all members of your party and calmly proceed inside the stadium concourse."

After evacuating fans, Fenway Park officials issued a no entry warning before eventually allowing them back inside. Lana Del Rey then turned to Instagram to ask fans if they preferred to start the concert later or reschedule altogether.

Alongside a picture of pink flowers, she wrote: "Do you want a one hour show tonight if it's possible and the lightning stops? As opposed to a two hour show on Saturday.

“Hi guys, so I'm down here at the bottom of Fenway. I have everyone here, they just cleared the stage," she said on her Instagram story.  "So, every time the lightening strikes we have to wait 20 minutes and it just keeps striking.” 

"So what we were hoping for was to fill the room back up by 10 o'clock and at least do an hour-long show. That's what we're hoping for bare minimum. Worst case scenario, we reschedule for Saturday. I don't know, I'm crossing my fingers and I'm down here with all the girls just hoping."

Fortunately, Lana managed to perform 15 songs for her fans when conditions allowed her to take the stage safely. Towards the end of the night, she also delighted the audience by inviting special guests like Quavo, Stephen Sanchez, and Mason Ramsey to join her.
