Lily Allen has announced the biggest headline tour of her career, following the immediate sell-out of her full UK theatre run for March 2026. The reaction to the first set of dates created a level of demand that pushed her team to expand the schedule on a major scale. She will now take her new album West End Girl into UK and Ireland arenas in June 2026, marking a landmark moment in a career defined by direct writing, sharp pop instincts, and an unmistakable voice.
The momentum behind this announcement arrives after a huge year for Lily. West End Girl has earned more than 150 million streams worldwide and secured her third consecutive Top 5 chart position in the UK. The record has been praised across the board, with the Sunday Times calling the title track “fantastic” and The Independent describing the album as her best in sixteen years. BBC hailed the lead single as “one for the history books”, while Vogue highlighted Lily as being at “the peak of her powers”. NME praised the record as “sleek” and “smart”, and Variety positioned it firmly as an “album of the year contender”. Few releases this year have matched its impact or reach.
The new tour will centre on Lily’s full-album show, titled Lily Allen Performs West End Girl. She will play the album in sequence from start to finish, giving fans the chance to hear the full work exactly as she created it. This format reflects the confidence behind the record and the response it has received since release. Before the arena run begins, Lily will also perform West End Girl at Mighty Hoopla in London’s Brockwell Park on May 30.
Lily has also been confirmed to appear on the long-running American television show Saturday Night Live on December 13. The appearance sits neatly alongside her expanding international profile and reflects the growing recognition of this new era of her music.
A huge step into UK and Ireland arenas
The June 2026 arena dates will take Lily across Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Cardiff, Birmingham, London, and Dublin. Each show positions the album in the large rooms it now commands, supported by a fanbase that continues to grow at pace. Tickets for the arena tour go on sale on Thursday November 27 at 10am via major ticket outlets.
