Lily Allen announces 2026 UK tour
Lily Allen has announced that she will be taking her new album, West End Girl, on the road in 2026 on a UK tour.
The British singer-songwriter last toured in 2019, with her album No Shame. In recent years, her live appearances have been limited to guest spots with Olivia Rodrigo at the 2022 Glastonbury Festival and with Shy FX at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival.
This new tour marks her first in seven years, and will see her perform the surprise new album, West End Girl, in full on each night of the 13 dates. As the album acts as a chronological narrative investigation into the breakdown of a relationship, she will play the album start to finish.
Adding another layer to the production, Allen will only perform in theatrical venues she has specifically chosen. She will kick things off with an evening in Glasgow on March 2nd, before heading to Liverpool and then Birmingham. On March 7th, she will stop in Sheffield, and a night later hit the stage in Newcastle.
Following this, the star will perform for two nights at Manchester’s Aviva Studios, before moving on to Nottingham, Cambridge, Bristol and Cardiff. She will end the tour with two nights at London’s Palladium.
Speaking recently to Interview magazine, Allen shared that, though the album discusses several specific moments in her relationship to Stranger Things actor David Harbour, it is not intended to be mean-spirited. She added, “At the time, I was really trying to process things and that’s great in terms of the album, but I don’t feel confused or angry now. I don’t need revenge.”
Tickets for the theatrical album tour will go on sale on November 7th.
