Lily Allen Expands 2026 UK Tour with Arena Shows

London, England — Lily Allen has added a series of arena shows to her 2026 UK tour, which is already generating significant excitement among fans. The newly announced dates include a performance at London’s O2 Arena, which can hold up to 20,000 spectators. This addition marks an expansion from her initial series of theater performances scheduled for March.

The arena leg will commence on June 2 at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena, followed by stops in Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London. The tour will conclude with a performance at Dublin’s 3Arena on June 30. This will be the largest headline tour of Allen’s career.

Tickets for the newly announced shows will go on sale on November 27 at 10 a.m. GMT. Fans are encouraged to stay updated, as there is a significant demand for tickets.

Allen’s upcoming performance will showcase her latest album, “West End Girl,” which she released on October 24. The album debuted at No. 2 on the UK charts, marking her highest placement since 2014’s “Sheezus.” Prior to the arena performances, Allen is also set to headline at the Mighty Hoopla festival in London’s Brockwell Park on May 30.

The album has drawn attention for its exploration of Allen’s personal experiences, particularly the dissolution of her marriage to actor David Harbour. In interviews, she described the album as a work of autofiction, suggesting while it draws from her life, it contains elements of storytelling.

Allen married Harbour in Las Vegas in 2020 after meeting on a dating app. “West End Girl” represents her first new album since 2018’s “No Shame” and her fifth studio album overall. Among her earlier successes, her debut album, “Alright, Still,” peaked at No. 2 in the UK charts in 2006.

Additionally, Allen is scheduled to return to Saturday Night Live on December 13, marking her first appearance on the show since 2007, when actor Josh O’Connor will host.

The excitement continues to build as fans eagerly anticipate the tour and the chance to hear “West End Girl” performed live.
