Lily Allen is stepping into 2026 with undeniable velocity. Riding the wave of her acclaimed studio album West End Girl, the British star has announced her largest North American headline tour to date, a nine city run titled Lily Allen Performs West End Girl. For the first time, Allen will perform the record in full, giving audiences a vivid, chronological immersion into one of the most talked about albums of the year.
West End Girl has attracted the strongest reviews of Allen’s career. In The Guardian, Laura Snapes praised the “striking prettiness of the tunes” and described the album as “a gobsmacking autopsy of marital betrayal,” applauding Allen’s lyrical clarity and emotional incision
Variety’s chief music critic Chris Willman hailed West End Girl as “a stunner,” highlighting its blend of autobiographical bite and pop sophistication.
ELLE UK’s Shannon Mahanty called West End Girl a “truly, jaw-droppingly good” celebrating the record’s caustic force and emotional precision. Mahanty writes that Allen transforms the breakdown of her marriage into a cathartic, furious and deeply human narrative, calling the album a massive “F*ck You” carved into the pop landscape.
Rolling Stone’s Maura Johnston called West End Girl “a brutal emotional inventory” and “a powerful album that finds Allen turning private upheaval into riveting pop.”
With more than 150 million streams worldwide, West End Girl has solidified itself as a cultural event, resonating with listeners across continents as both a sharply observed narrative and a confident reinvention.
The upcoming North American tour presents the album precisely as it was built. A beginning to end performance that respects its sequencing, storytelling, and emotional architecture. This is a full body dive into Allen’s world, conceived as a single unbroken artistic statement.
The tour opens April 3 in Chicago and travels through Toronto, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Los Angeles before concluding April 28 at The Masonic in San Francisco.
General on sale begins Friday December 12 at 10 AM local time. Artist presale sign up is available through Monday December 8 at 8 PM PT or 11 PM ET. Presale access runs Wednesday December 10 through Thursday December 11.

In a cultural moment defined as much by fragmentation as by reinvention, Lily Allen’s new era stands sharply apart. West End Girl is not merely an album. It is a constructed world, precise in tone and unapologetically personal. And this tour is its live counterpart, an invitation for audiences to enter that world fully as Allen steps into her next artistic chapter.
