Lily Allen West End Girl in full show Manchester gig review

The ‘Nonmonogamummy’ herself, Lily Allen, is visiting AO Arena in Manchester for her theatrical and unforgettable West End Girl UK tour.

After releasing one of 2025’s biggest albums West End Girl, a run of intimate gig dates up and down the country were announced including right here at Aviva Studios in Manchester in March.

The demand for this British pop star to add more dates was inevitable and that’s exactly what Allen did, as she now kicks off an arena tour across the UK.

Once wasn’t ‘Just Enough’, and we’ve been blessed with not one, but two nights of Lily Allen at the AO Arena in Manchester, on Friday 19 June and Saturday 20 June – lucky us.

Although the ‘Smile’ singer refrains from playing some of her older smash hits, this gig is still remarkable, with the Hammersmith-born singer performs the previously mentioned tongue-in-cheek LP in full.

Meet us at the ‘Pussy Palace’ (aka the AO Arena) for an evening of messy lyrics and quality vocals, fulfilling all of our nosey desires, she even provides text receipts for us to read.

Expect to feel like you’re having your friend relay the truth about their toxic relationship post-break up and then celebrating them finally leaving that loser – Lily just gets us.

Support act for Lily Allen in Manchester

Lily’s gone for a rather novel support act on her West End Girl tour, which is proving to be quite a laugh at arenas so far.

She’s pulled in Dallas Minor Trio to warm up the crowds, a trio of cellists who perform a setlist of Lily Allen’s biggest hits from through the years.

And if that’s not enough, they put the lyrics on screen too, so it’s like a true karaoke moment.
