British music sensation Lily Allen has officially announced her most significant headline tour to date, with major shows scheduled across Australia and New Zealand in October and November 2026. The celebrated singer-songwriter will bring her deeply personal album, West End Girl, to fans Down Under for the first time in years.
Perth Welcomes Lily Allen After Seven-Year Hiatus
Lily Allen has not performed in Perth since 2019, but that lengthy gap will end when she takes the stage at RAC Arena on November 1, 2026. This marks a substantial venue upgrade from her previous appearance at Metro City during the No Shame tour. The 40-year-old artist is poised to deliver an unforgettable night for Western Australian fans.
A Tour Fueled by Personal Revelation
The West End Girl tour is built around Allen's latest album, which explores the emotional turmoil following the breakdown of her marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour. The album addresses themes of infidelity and alleged sex addiction, offering a raw and honest look into her personal life. Despite its challenging subject matter, West End Girl achieved impressive commercial success, peaking at number two on the UK albums chart and securing a top-10 position in Australia.
Popular tracks from the album include Madeline and Pussy Palace, with the latter earning a spot at number 38 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2025. West End Girl itself also charted at number 88 in the same countdown. Longtime fans can also anticipate hearing classic hits like Smile, Not Fair, and F**k You during the live performances.
