Lily Allen fans; breathe a sigh of relief. More concert dates have arrived.
A couple of weeks ago, you might have been one of the thousands who tried and utterly failed get tickets to Lily Allen’s 2026 West End Girl tour, but all hope isn’t lost. More concert dates have arrived.
The sellout tour followed the success of West End Girl, an album detailing the breakdown of Allen’s marriage complete with affairs, deceit, tennis, and a woman named Madeline. When hundreds of thousands of people signed onto Ticketmaster to nab tickets, it became clear that the 2000-capacity theatres the singer was slated to perform in just weren’t going to cut it. Even a headlining slot at Mighty Hoopla festival in London wasn’t enough to satisfy demand.
So Allen is now giving the people what they want – a huge arena tour ‘due to phenomenal demand’. Next June, she will hit nine arenas across the UK and Ireland with ‘Lily Allen plays West End Girl’, where she’ll perform the entire album from front to back.
Here’s everything you need to know to make sure you don’t miss out on tickets this time around.
