Pop icon Lily Allen is officially preparing to launch the biggest headline tour of her career this month. Following a whirlwind year of success for her highly acclaimed studio album West End Girl, the singer-songwriter will step up to major arena stages across the UK and Ireland for a massive run of live dates kicking off this June.
The blockbusting arena trek was originally added due to phenomenal public demand after her initial spring theatre shows completely sold out in a matter of minutes. The massive hype mirrors the global triumph of West End Girl, which has amassed over 150 million streams and consistently held a Top 5 position on the UK Albums Chart. The record has been widely praised by critics, with The Independent calling it her best album in 16 years, NME describing it as a sleek, smart collection seeing Allen back at her very best, and Vogue declaring her to be at the very peak of her powers.
Titled Lily Allen Performs West End Girl, the highly anticipated arena production will feature a unique concept where the singer plays the brand-new album in its entirety, delivering the tracks in the exact running order they appear on the record. The arena dates follow hot on the heels of her major summer festival appearance headlining Mighty Hoopla in London’s Brockwell Park, as well as her milestone performance on America’s Saturday Night Live.
The arena routing officially kicks off on June 16th at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle before traveling to major cities including Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Cardiff, and Birmingham. The tour will culminate with a massive show at London’s The O2 on June 27th and a final performance at Dublin’s 3Arena on June 30th.
