Ahead of the tour, she will appear as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
Tour Announcement
Lily Allen, the British singer known for her witty pop anthems, announced the North American leg of her 'West End Girl Tour' on December 11, 2025. The tour supports her fifth studio album, 'West End Girl,' released on October 24, 2025. It features full performances of the new record at various auditoriums, music halls, and theaters across the U.S. and Canada from April 3 to 28, 2026.
Key stops include a show at New York City's iconic Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday, April 14, and Brooklyn's Kings Theatre on Wednesday, April 15. This marks Allen's first live performances since August 2019, based on Set List FM data. Before the tour kicks off, Allen will serve as the musical guest on 'Saturday Night Live' alongside host Josh O'Connor, star of the upcoming film 'Knives Out: Wake Up, Dead Man.'
Album Context and Reception
Allen created 'West End Girl' in December 2024 as a way to process personal challenges in her marriage to actor David Harbour, from whom she has since separated amid allegations of infidelity. 'I made this record in December 2024, and it was a way for me to process what was happening in my life,' she told Vogue. She added, 'There are things that are on the record that I experienced within my marriage, but that’s not to say that it’s all gospel.' The album explores themes of confusion, sorrow, and grief through personal, diaristic lyrics.
Critics have praised the record for blending airy pop with raw emotion. Pitchfork noted, 'With an album that doubles as an insider’s account of a tabloid divorce, the singer finds a new evolution of her signature style: Lightness isn’t a foil for irony, but a vehicle for hurt.' The Paris Review highlighted its 'brusque, meat-and-potatoes diarism,' drawing listeners into her experiences.
Standout tracks include the dreamy opener 'West End Girl,' the jangly 'Tennis,' the confrontational 'Madeline,' and the hypnotic '4chan Stan.' 'Nonmonogamummy' featuring Specialist Moss is another recommended listen.
