The singer, who released her album of the same name on October 24, will now end the tour, which takes place in theatre venues she chose herself, on March 22.
The tour is now set to conclude with three nights at the London Palladium, after shows in 10 other UK cities including Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester.
Each night of the tour, she’ll be playing ‘West End Girl’ in order and in its entirety. The album is Allen’s first since 2018’s ‘No Shame’, which she finished touring the following year. She’s only made occasional live appearances since, including guest appearances with Olivia Rodrigo and Shy FX at Glastonbury Festival in 2022 and 2025 respectively.
Tickets go on sale on Friday (November 7) at 10am, and you can buy them here.
‘West End Girl’ has been acclaimed by critics and fans alike, reaching Number Four in the UK to become Allen’s highest-charting album in 11 years. In a four-star review, NME described it as a “vicious, vulnerable and victorious comeback,” adding, “By the end of ‘West End Girl’, it’s clear the relationship in this tale might be over, but Lily Allen’s comeback is just getting started.”
The relationship in question was with Stranger Things actor David Harbour. In an interview with Perfect published just after ‘West End Girl’s release, Allen explained that the album was inspired by her “deep-rooted issues with rejection and abandonment” following her divorce from the actor.
She added: “It’s hard for me to not have my person, you know? And I am quite a codependent person. And I find it difficult to lean on the people who are available to me when I’m missing the comfort and stability of what is not available to me.”
However, she has also insisted that ‘West End Girl’ is “not a cruel album”, telling Interview magazine that she was no longer “confused or angry” about the circumstances that inspired the record.
Allen and Harbour started dating in 2019 after meeting on the membership dating app Raya, and got married in Las Vegas a year later.
News of their separation came out at the start of the year, amid rumours of cheating on Harbour’s part. Earlier this year, Allen, who shares daughters Ethel and Marnie with ex-husband Sam Cooper, shared that she went into a treatment centre to deal with the resulting “emotional turmoil”.
For Halloween last weekend, Allen took a shot at Harbour by wearing a ‘Madeline’ costume – inspired by the song on the album named after a woman she implies had an affair with him.
Poking fun at the situation, she dressed up as the character Madeline from the book of the same name for a Halloween party in Los Angeles.
Since the album came out, a woman named Natalie Tippett has come forward claiming to be the woman in question. She told the Mail on Sunday: “Of course I’ve heard the song. But I have a family and things to protect. I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and I understand this is going on. It’s a little bit scary for me.”
However, Allen explained to The Sunday Times that the song ‘Madeline’ is actually about a fictional character who is a “construct of others”.
