The arena leg of the tour will kick off at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on June 2. She’ll head to Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Cardiff, Birmingham and London before traveling to Ireland for a night at Dublin’s 3Arena on June 30. It will mark the biggest headline tour of Allen’s career.
Tickets go on sale on Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. GMT. Fans can find further ticketing information on Allen’s website.
The show – Lily Allen Performs West End Girl – will see the British star perform her new album front to back. Released Oct. 24, the LP hit a peak of No. 2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, marking her highest placement on the list since 2014’s Sheezus. Prior to the arena gigs, Allen will also perform West End Girl for a headline slot at Mighty Hoopla festival in London’s Brockwell Park on May 30.
West End Girl has repeatedly hit the headlines in recent weeks. The album appears to tell the story of the dissolution of Allen’s marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour in chronological order, traversing the start of an open relationship, scenes of alleged infidelity and a subsequent breakdown of trust.
Speaking to British Vogue prior to its release, Allen likened the album to a work of autofiction. She told the publication that its lyrical content was inspired by her marriage, but “that’s not to say it’s all gospel.” Allen and Harbour tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2020 after meeting on dating app Raya the year prior.
West End Girl is Allen’s first album since 2018’s No Shame and her fifth full-length release overall. Allen’s debut LP, Alright, Still hit No. 2 on the U.K. charts in 2006, while its predecessor, It’s Not Me, It’s You (2009) reached the summit.
Allen will return to Saturday Night Live on Dec. 13, appearing on the show as a musical guest for the first time since 2007. Actor Josh O’Connor is set to make his debut as host that night.
