Lily Allen has announced a major expansion to her live schedule with a new run of UK and Ireland arena dates for June 2026. The announcement comes in response to what organisers described as “phenomenal demand” for her upcoming theatre tour, which sold out in minutes. These newly confirmed shows will represent the biggest headline tour of the singer’s career to date.
The tour, titled ‘Lily Allen Performs West End Girl’, will see the celebrated songwriter perform her brand-new album in its entirety, playing tracks in the exact order they appear on the record. The album has already secured a massive global following, amassing over 150 million streams and earning Allen her third consecutive Top 5 position on the UK Albums Chart.
Tickets for the new arena dates will go on sale at 10am on Thursday, November 27. Fans can purchase tickets via www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk. The tour kicks off in Newcastle on June 16 and will visit major venues in Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London, before concluding at Dublin’s 3Arena on June 30.
Prior to the arena run, Allen is set to complete a sold-out series of intimate theatre shows in March 2026. That run includes multiple nights at the London Palladium and Manchester Aviva Studios, all of which have already sold out. Additionally, she has been confirmed for a festival appearance at Mighty Hoopla in London’s Brockwell Park on May 30, which is also sold out.
The critical reception for West End Girl has been overwhelmingly positive, with The Independent hailing it as “her best album in 16 years” and NME describing it as “a sleek, smart collection that sees Allen back at her very best.” Vogue has praised the singer as being “at the very peak of her powers.” In a further boost to her international profile, Allen has just been confirmed to appear on the prestigious US television show Saturday Night Live on December 13.
