British pop sensation Lily Allen has officially confirmed she will be bringing her acclaimed West End Girl production to audiences in Australia and New Zealand. The announcement, made by the 40-year-old singer on Sunday night, marks a significant return to the region for the celebrated artist.
Tour Dates and Venues Revealed
The tour will commence in Sydney on October 25, 2026, with a performance at the TikTok Entertainment Centre. Following this, Lily will travel to Melbourne for a show at the renowned Rod Laver Arena on October 28. The Australian leg will conclude in Perth on November 1 at the RAC Arena. Further details regarding potential New Zealand dates are expected to be announced in the coming months.
Ticket Sales Information
Tickets for all confirmed dates will go on general sale on Monday, 9th February, at 1pm local time. Dedicated fans can gain exclusive early access by signing up to Lily Allen's official mailing list. The pre-sale period will begin on Thursday, 5th February, at 12pm local time.
Previous Hints and Fan Anticipation
The confirmation follows subtle hints dropped by Allen during an interview last month with Triple J radio hosts Tyrone Pynor and Abby Butler. When questioned about potential plans to return to Australia, Allen responded cryptically, stating, 'I am not at liberty to discuss any specific details, but I will be in that hemisphere before the end of the year.'
She went on to express her gratitude to Australian supporters, saying, 'Thank you, all of Australia, for your enduring support over the years. It has not gone unnoticed. I'm sorry I haven't been back in a while, but I will be there relatively soon.'
Global Tour Schedule and Context
This Australasian tour forms part of a broader international schedule for Lily Allen in 2026. She is set to begin her touring commitments with a series of shows in the United Kingdom starting in March, followed by an extensive tour across the United States in April. The Australian and New Zealand dates are therefore positioned towards the latter part of her global itinerary.
Her last tour of Australia took place in February 2019 as part of the No Shame tour, which included performances in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. The upcoming West End Girl tour represents her first major concert series in the region in over seven years.
Personal Life Developments
The tour announcement arrives amidst notable developments in Lily Allen's personal life. Following her highly publicised separation from actor David Harbour, Allen has been linked to Jonah Freud. The pair were recently photographed leaving a Paris Fashion Week event and have reportedly taken a romantic trip to Italy together.
Jonah Freud is the son of entrepreneur Matthew Freud and ex-wife Caroline Hutton, and the nephew of the celebrated late artist Lucian Freud. Reports suggest the couple stayed in a suite at Rome's Hotel Locarno, estimated to cost approximately £800 per night.
Fans of the singer are now eagerly anticipating both her musical return to the stage and the full West End Girl experience promised for the 2026 tour.
