Lily Allen has just announced an extra show here in Manchester, after her previously announced dates in theatres across the UK drove phenomenal demand.

The much-loved British singer sold out some of the nation’s finest theatres in just minutes with her West End Girl tour.

Since then, the star has announced her biggest-ever headline tour, with a run of arena shows coming next summer.

Lily Allen is now set to visit the AO Arena in Manchester not just once but twice, as well as playing other big cities including Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham and London.

West End Girl was released less than a month ago and has received critical acclaim across the board, amassing 150 million streams and sticking near the top of the UK Albums Chart.

The bear-all, scathing, deeply personal record has catapulted Lily Allen back into the spotlight, and now she’s got the arena tour she deserves.

The show – ‘Lily Allen Performs West End Girl‘ – will see the singer/songwriter play her brand-new album
in its entirety, in the order the songs appear on the record.

She had already announced two nights at Aviva Studios in Manchester next March, which sold out almost instantly.

Before this era, Lily was famed for her big hits like ‘Smile’, ‘The Fear’, and ‘F*ck You’. It’s fair to say she’s now riding one of the biggest waves of popularity in her career thus far.

Lily Allen is set to play at the AO Arena in Manchester on Friday 19 June 2026, with tickets on sale from 10am on Thursday 27 November.
