- Glastonbury cut Lana Del Rey's mic mid-set at midnight, with reports citing a strict noise curfew.
- "I'm super fucking sorry, my hair takes so long," Del Rey told fans after reportedly arriving 30 minutes late.
In the middle of her Glastonbury Music Festival set, festival staff appeared to cut Lana Del Rey's mic at midnight after the artist began her performance thirty minutes late.
Del Rey was expected to start at 11 pm — after she showed up late, she blamed her tardiness on her hair.
"I was so fucking late that I am about to rush this set today. If they cut power, they cut power," she told cheering fans in a Twitter video posted by @jfloridakilos.
"I'm super fucking sorry, my hair takes so long," Del Rey continued.

Representatives for the Glastonbury Music Festival and Del Rey did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Now, fans and fellow artists are calling out the festival.
Matt Bellamy, the lead singer of Muse, called the decision "insanity" in a Saturday tweet. Meanwhile, a review of the Glastonbury Festival from the Financial Times called the incident "a disastrous conclusion to the night."
Once festival staff cut her sound — due to strict curfew restrictions, the BBC reported — Del Rey conducted an a cappella performance of her hit "Video Games," counting off the crowd as thousands of fans joined in.

Videos on social media show her rushing to the front pit to greet fans before leaving the venue.
Del Rey wasn't the only artist performing into the night at Glastonbury. The BBC reported that Guns 'n Roses began their three-hour set at 9:30 pm, suggesting they played past midnight without interruption.
