Lana Del Rey suffered sound problems during her performance at the Reading Festival on Saturday night, causing some fans to walk out after just four tracks.
The 39-year-old singer-songwriter, who arrived on stage 15 minutes late, also received complaints about her “depressing” set list.
A source told MailOnline: ‘It looked amazing and the stage was themed around a castle but unfortunately it was so quiet we could barely hear and the base of the other stage drowned it out.
‘At one point she asked: “Can you hear me over that techno?” The crowd was chanting: “Turn it up,” and many went on four songs in.
‘She would lie on stage to sing one or two songs and no one could see her and most of her songs were depressing and not suitable for the festival atmosphere.
“The crowd was eager to see her and waited for her performance for over an hour, but she needed to sing something more lively because unfortunately the crowd was not enthusiastic.”
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Lana Del Rey and Festival Republic for comment.
