Lily Allen Announces 2026 UK Tour, Will Perform Entire West End Girl Album Live
Pop icon Lily Allen is stepping back into the limelight with a major 2026 UK stint, performing her entire new album, West End Girl, from launch to finish.
The advertisement marks a bold return for the London- born songster- tunesmith, whose mix of wit, honesty, and vulnerability has long defined British pop.
After times down from the road, Allen will protest off her 13-date theatre stint at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on 2 March 2026, before heading to Liverpool, Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, Nottingham, Cambridge, Bristol, and Cardiff.
The stint will conclude with two largely awaited nights at The London precaution on 20 and 21 March, giving suckers a rare chance to witness Allen’s music in an intimate, theatrical setting.
“I’ve tried to document my life in a new city and the events that led me to where I am in my life now. At the same time, I’ve used shared experiences … so the record is a mixture of fact and fiction …”
Allen’s choice to perform in historic theatres rather than sprawling arenas signals a shift, a more personal connection with her audience, offering the kind of closeness that her new music demands.
Released on Friday, West End Girl is Allen’s first album in seven years, and her most personal yet. It explores heartbreak, reinvention, and resilience, drawing on her experiences following her split from US actor David Harbor.
Critics have described the record as “raw and unapologetically human”, blending truth and fantasy, a signature Allen move. One track even references a broken “arrangement”, a metaphor that runs deep through the album’s emotional narrative.
Allen will perform the entire reader live, in track order, allowing the show to unfold as a complete story, a creative choice that harks back to classic conception- reader performances.
Lily Allen first burst onto the scene in 2006 with Alright, Still, delivering map- cappers like Smile and LDN.
Over the times, she’s earned two UK number- one compendiums ( It’s Not Me, It’s You and Sheezus), three map- beating mates, and a character for lyrical sharpness and intrepid liar.

Her 2018 record, No Shame, earned a Mercury Prize nomination, but Allen also stepped back from the limelight to concentrate on jotting and amusement. Now, West End Girl signals a confident and mature return, reflective, recalcitrant, and deeply London at heart.
Tickets for the West End Girl stint go on trade on 7 November at 10 am, and suckers are prompted to move snappily. With only 13 dates and the appeal of lower venues, demand is anticipated to be fierce.
Exclusivepre-sales and personality packages are anticipated to follow, giving bones-hard suckers a chance to secure high seats for what promises to be one of 2026’s name live events.
From her sharp social commentary to her vulnerability and wit, Lily Allen has always kept her followership guessing. This new stint feels less like a comeback and more like a disclosure, a reintroduction to an artist who’s noway stopped evolving.
In her own words, she’s telling her story “as it happened, and how it could have been.” And for fans, that honesty is what makes Lily Allen truly timeless.
