Lily Allen is expanding her 2026 “West End Girl” theatre tour with an additional London performance due to overwhelming demand. The tour will wrap up on March 22, 2026, after a total of three nights at the iconic London Palladium.
Details of the ‘West End Girl’ Tour
Following the release of her album “West End Girl” on October 24, 2023, Allen will take her show to various venues across the UK. The tour includes stops in ten cities, such as Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Manchester.
Tour Dates and Locations
- March 20-21, 2026 – London Palladium
- March 22, 2026 – Additional London Show
Each concert will feature a complete live rendition of the “West End Girl” album. This is her first full album release since “No Shame” in 2018.
Critical Reception and Background
“West End Girl” has received positive reviews, achieving a peak position of Number Four on the UK charts, marking it as her highest-charting album in over a decade. NME praised it as a “vicious, vulnerable and victorious comeback.”
The album’s genesis stems from Allen’s personal challenges, particularly stemming from her divorce from actor David Harbour. In interviews, she has commented on how the album explores themes of rejection and abandonment.
Insights on Personal Life and Relationship
Allen and Harbour began their relationship in 2019, marrying in Las Vegas the following year. However, their separation became public earlier this year, with allegations of infidelity surfacing concerning Harbour.
Amidst the emotional turmoil of their breakup, Allen sought support and entered a treatment center. Recently, she used a Halloween costume to humorously address the situation, dressing as Madeline—a character tied to a controversial song on her new album.
Public Response and Future Outlook
Since the album’s release, a woman named Natalie Tippett claimed to be associated with the song “Madeline.” Tippett expressed her apprehension over the media attention but clarified her commitment to her family.
Despite the ups and downs, Allen insists that “West End Girl” is not a spiteful work but rather a reflection of her growth and understanding post-relationship.
Ticket Information
Tickets for the tour are set to go on sale on November 7, 2023, at 10 AM. Fans eager to witness Allen’s return to the stage can purchase their tickets through El-Balad.
