Lily Allen has officially confirmed a major UK and Ireland arena tour for June 2026, following overwhelming demand sparked by her hit album West End Girl and a year that has marked a powerful comeback in British pop.
Her new album, released earlier this year, has been praised for its raw honesty as it explores the emotional fallout of her marriage breakdown. West End Girl quickly became one of the most talked-about pop records of 2025, driven by Allen’s return to fearless, narrative-driven songwriting.
The arena tour announcement comes after months of momentum for the singer. Allen has been expanding her acting career with projects like Dreamland and How to Build a Girl, while also selling out her growing run of live podcast shows. She recently completed a trio of intimate comeback concerts in London, Brighton, and Bristol—each selling out within minutes.
Before hitting arenas, Allen will finish her sold-out March 2026 theatre tour, which also set records for how fast tickets disappeared.
Her newly unveiled June 2026 arena run begins in Newcastle on June 16 and continues through Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London’s O2 Arena, before closing with a headlining show at Dublin’s 3Arena on June 30.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Thursday, November 27 via official ticketing platforms.

Speaking about crafting West End Girl, Lily Allen described the process as intense and emotional. She shared that she entered the studio after writing 18 track titles overnight, then spent “hours crying” before turning those emotions into music. Inspired by The Streets’ A Grand Don’t Come for Free, she approached the record like a complete story, saying each song “stands alone” but together forms a “novel-like” experience.
With sold-out shows, renewed cultural impact, and now a full arena tour, Lily Allen is firmly reclaiming her place at the front of UK pop.
