Lily Allen has announced a string of tour dates across the UK in support of her red-hot new album, ‘West End Girl’.
The English singer-songwriter made the announcement on Instagram on Thursday, almost a week after the surprise release of her first album since 2018. The tour takes place in March next year and includes two dates at the London Palladium and will see Allen perform at theaters in Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, Nottingham, Cambridge, Bristol and Cardiff. It’s Allen’s first time touring since 2019.
Tickets go on sale on November 7 at 10.00 local time, with pre-sale registration now live here.
Allen’s “West End Girl” came alive after its release on Friday, with the album serving as confirmation that she and her husband, “Stranger Things” actor David Harbour, have split. Although Allen has said in interviews that the album shouldn’t be seen as the full truth about what happened in the relationship, her scathing lyrics on songs like “Pussy Palace,” “Sleepwalking” and “Madeline” have both shocked and delighted the internet.
IN Amounts review of the albumchief music critic Chris Willman called “West End Girl” an immediate contender for album of the year. “It’s the pleasure of listening to a master storyteller who makes your jaw drop by seeming to have spilled all the tea almost from the start, and then the tea just keeps on coming,” Willman wrote. “Not since Boston in 1773, perhaps, has anyone dumped it this massively or this satisfactorily.”
