Lily Allen announces first tour in seven years, performing West End Girl in full
Lily Allen is taking West End Girl across the UK next March.
Lily Allen has announced her first tour in seven years.
The Smile hitmaker is set to play her acclaimed comeback album West End Girl in full at theatres across the UK in March 2026.
Lily Allen Performs West End Girl will kick off on March 2 at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall and take over the iconic London Palladium for two consecutive nights starting March 20.
Other cities include Liverpool, Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, Nottingham, Cambridge, Bristol, and Cardiff.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, November 7, at 10am via www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
The tour news comes after Lily recently clarified that West End Girl is not a "revenge album" about her ex-husband, David Harbour.
The 40-year-old singer tied the knot with David, 50, in 2020, but their breakup was confirmed in February after four years of marriage.
The recently released 14-track record - which is "a mixture of fact and fiction" - explores themes of cheating, gaslighting, open relationships, and sex addiction.
Asked if it's a "revenge album" after the breakdown of her marriage to the Stranger Things actor while speaking with Interview magazine, she replied: “It isn’t.
“I mean, I wrote this record in 10 days in December and I feel very differently about the whole situation now.
“We all go through breakups and it’s always fucking brutal. But I don’t think it’s that often that you feel inclined to write about it while you’re in it.”
Lily continued: “That’s what’s fun about this record; it’s viscerally like going through the motions. At the time [of recording it], 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.”
Reviewers have hailed the album "vicious", but Lily is adamant: “It’s not a cruel album. I don’t feel like I’m being mean. It was just the feelings I was processing at the time.”
Asked if penning the lyrics helped heal her heartbreak, she responded: “I checked into a treatment centre six weeks afterwards. That got me out of the funk.”
