Lily Allen Announces Major 2026 World Tour Following Chart Success
London, 10 February 2026 – British singer-songwriter and actress Lily Allen has officially confirmed a significant expansion of her global touring schedule for 2026. Following the critical and commercial success of her fifth studio album, West End Girl, Allen is set to embark on her most extensive series of live performances in years, including a highly anticipated headline tour across Australia and New Zealand this autumn.
The ‘West End Girl’ Era and Chart Dominance
After a seven-year hiatus from the recording studio, Allen returned to the music scene with West End Girl, an album described by the artist as a “really angry record” shaped by personal change and raw honesty. The project, which was written and recorded during an intensive five-week period in late 2024, has seen Allen return to the upper echelons of the UK charts, securing a Top 3 position upon release. Produced by Blue May, the album has been praised for its quirky, clever appeal, reminiscent of her early work on Alright, Still and It’s Not Me, It’s You.
In addition to her solo success, Allen is scheduled to appear at the 2026 BRIT Awards. She is set to join fellow artists RAYE and Dua Lipa in a special performance to honour producer Mark Ronson, who will receive the Outstanding Contribution to Music prize.
