As the world continues to marvel at her breathtaking new album “West End Girl”, Lily Allen has announced that she will play a series of live dates – her first in seven years – when she tours the UK in March 2026.
The show — with the title “Lily Allen Plays West End Girl” — will see ‘Smiling’ the hitmaker plays the entire LP (which this week debuted at No. 4 in the Official UK Albums Chart) in chronological order, giving audiences the chance to experience Allen’s story as it unfolds from start to finish.
Scheduled to kick off on Monday 2 March 2026 at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow, Lily will then play subsequent shows at specially selected theaters in Liverpool, Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, Nottingham, Cambridge, Bristol and Cardiff, before concluding with two special shows at The London Palladium.
Tickets for all dates are on sale Friday, November 7, 2025 via gigsandtours.com and tickmaster.co.uk.

Arriving late last month with little to no fanfare, “West End Girl” has drawn a strong response from fans and critics alike, and is already making a significant impact in her career. Released after a seven-year hiatus, the record has been praised for its raw honesty and vivid storytelling, with reviewers describing it as a “brutal, vulnerable and victorious comeback”.
Fans have reacted with particular intensity — many say they’ve felt an emotional connection to the album, calling it a “master class” and described it as a listening experience they returned to in an uninterrupted sitting.
Commercially, it also bodes well: it debuted at number four on the UK Albums Chart, making it her highest release in over a decade.
More than just a chart success, the album shapes Allen’s legacy by affirming her voice in pop: stripped of victimhood, she frames heartbreak and transformation with ambition and theatricality.
