Lily Allen Performs West End Girl is the ongoing fifth headlining concert tour by British singer-songwriter, Lily Allen, in support of her fifth studio album, West End Girl. The tour was announced on 30 October 2025 with theatre dates across the UK and set to be performed chronologically.
Due to the demand for the theatre dates, in November 2025, Allen announced arena shows had been added to the itinerary. The tour began in March 2026 and will conclude in November of that same year. It is the singer's first tour since the No Shame Tour in 2018.
Background On 20 October 2025, Allen announced West End Girl and that it would be released four days later. The album was released on 24 October 2025 by her label, BMG.
At first, Allen only announced theatre shows but, due to popular demand, she later announced an arena tour across the United Kingdom and Ireland. On 27 November 2025, Allen added further dates to the tour, including a new date at the O2 Arena and one at the AO Arena. In December 2025, she announced a theatre tour across North America. In addition, Australia and New Zealand dates were added in February 2026.
In an interview with Elle, Allen stated she will only sing songs from West End Girl: "don't go expecting a cheeky 'Smile' encore – it's not gonna happen." Allen also said that for the tour, there is no support act. But that fans should get there early as 'something is happening before the show'.
A second North American leg was announced on March 2026, set to take place in larger venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York City and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. In July 2026, most of the planned arena shows were replaced with shows at theatres and amphitheatres.

Reception The tour attracted some criticism online, with fans complaining about the length of Allen's set (55 minutes), the absence of a full support act, and the lack of engagement with the audience. Allen defended herself on social media, stating that not talking to the crowd was an "artistic choice".
