After seven years away from the studio, Lily Allen is heading back to Australia and New Zealand, bringing her critically acclaimed comeback album West End Girl to arenas in late 2026.
The UK singer-songwriter has announced five shows across October and November, marking her first Australasian tour since 2019. The West End Girl Tour will see Allen perform the album in full, laying bare the personal stories that shaped her return, including the breakdown of her marriage to actor David Harbour.
The tour opens in New Zealand at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday 21 October, before heading to Australia for four major dates. Allen will play Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 23 October, Sydney’s TikTok Entertainment Centre on Sunday 25 October, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday 28 October and Perth’s RAC Arena on Sunday 1 November.
Released in 2025, West End Girl is Allen’s fifth studio album and her most candid work to date. Written across 14 tracks during her move to New York, the record blends autobiography with storytelling, exploring identity, heartbreak and reinvention. All songs were written by Allen, largely with long-time collaborator and musical director Blue May, with executive production from Allen, Seb Chew, Kito and Blue May. The album artwork was created by Spanish artist Nieves González.
Allen first rose to prominence with 2006’s Alright, Still and 2009’s It’s Not Me, It’s You, redefining pop stardom in the early internet era and selling more than five million albums worldwide. Her influence has only grown during her time away, cited by artists including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and PinkPantheress.
