Lana Del Rey dropped her studio cover of "Doin' Time" by Sublime in May, and she just performed it live for the very first time: the setting was at her concert on Saturday, June 22 at a castle near Dublin, Ireland.

Del Rey was picked to do a cover of "Doin' Time" for the Sublime documentary that debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in April. Sublime was a cross-genre band blending punk, ska, and other influences and the film follows the successes and tragedies that the band faced across their career.

The film is directed by Bill Guttentag who has won two Academy Awards for documentary shorts, and has also directed the full-length docs "Nanking" and "Soundtrack for a Revolution."

This alt-rock kind of music is not exactly what Lana Del Rey is known for but she had put her own blissed-out spin on it. In the video of her live performance, she brought out two back-up singers dressed in white who danced while the California landscape broadcasted on the screens behind them. Lana had the whole crowd singing to each and every word.

The soundtrack's music is not the only new jam for Del Rey. She also teased fans with a taste of the song "Norman F*cking Rockwell," from her upcoming album on the same name on Instagram, which has producer Jack Antonoff tagged as well.
