Lana Del Rey announced tour dates for May and June today, and the fourth stop of the tour will be in Phoenix at Ak-Chin Pavilion on May 14.

Somewhat surprising is the announcement that supporting Lady Lana on the tour will be Courtney Love.

Yes, the Hole lead singer and widow of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain is along four the first eight dates of the tour, including the stop in Phoenix. We'll see if she makes it that far.

Tickets go on sale Saturday, December 6, at www.livenation.com.

Lana Del Rey covered "Heart Shaped Box" at a concert in 2012. After the performance, Love tweeted to Del Rey, "You do know the song is about my vagina right?" later adding, "So umm next time you sing it, think about my vagina will you? lol xc. You are gorgeous and very talented, it was all in good humor love, it is true however."

Weird, and here we were thinking the box was something physical she gave to Neil Strauss.
