Lily Allen will return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026 for her first tour of the region since 2019, announcing a run of arena dates where she will perform her album West End Girl in full.
The British singer-songwriter will kick off the tour in Auckland on Oct. 21 before heading to Australia for shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, wrapping the run on Nov. 1. All dates on the tour are licensed all-ages shows.
The announcement follows Allen’s renewed presence on Australian radio and charts, after West End Girl landed two tracks in triple j’s 2025 Hottest 100 countdown, with the title track placing at No. 88 and “Pussy Palace” reaching No. 38.
Allen described the tour as her biggest Australian headline run to date. Alongside performing West End Girl in full, the shows are expected to draw from her broader catalogue, which includes hits such as “Smile,” “The Fear” and “Not Fair.”
Tickets for the Australia and New Zealand dates go on sale at 1 p.m. local time on Monday, Feb. 9, with presales taking place in the days prior. Full details are available via the tour’s official website.
Allen last toured Australia in 2019, following the release of No Shame. Since then, she has remained largely off the road while continuing to release new music and make select live appearances.
