Lily Allen has announced her biggest ever Australian headline tour, with arena shows confirmed for Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in October and November 2026.
The tour will see the British singer-songwriter perform her critically acclaimed fifth studio album West End Girl in full. Released in late 2025, the record has amassed more than 275 million streams globally and marks Allen’s first album in seven years.
Allen’s Australian dates begin at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 23 October, followed by Sydney’s TikTok Entertainment Centre on Sunday 25 October, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday 28 October, and RAC Arena in Perth on Sunday 1 November.
Tickets go on sale from 1pm local time on Sunday 9 February.
The shows mark Allen’s first Australian performances since her 2019 No Shame tour. Long recognised as a defining voice in contemporary pop, Allen’s debut album Alright, Still and its follow-up It’s Not Me, It’s You sold more than five million copies worldwide and helped reshape pop stardom for the internet age.
Her influence on a new generation of artists has been widely acknowledged. Billie Eilish has spoken about crying the first time she heard Smile, while Olivia Rodrigo credits Allen with showing artists how to “say what the fuck you want”. PinkPantheress has said Allen “made sounding like yourself feel cool”.
Following her Mercury-nominated 2018 album No Shame and her candid memoir My Thoughts Exactly, Allen stepped away from music to pursue other creative ventures. She starred in sold-out theatrical runs of 2:22 A Ghost Story and The Pillowman, and recently took on the lead role in a new adaptation of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. She also became co-host of the award-winning podcast Miss Me alongside best friend Miquita Oliver.
West End Girl uses Allen’s move to New York as the foundation for 14 new songs described as an “outstandingly candid and accomplished fusion of fact and fictions” and the most “expansively empathetic work of her career”. All 14 tracks were written by Allen, primarily in collaboration with musical director Blue May. The album was executive produced by Allen, Seb Chew, Kito and Blue May, with cover art and illustrations by Spanish artist Nieves González.
