Second Nottingham date for Lily Allen as she announces live arena tour after UK theatre shows sell out in minutes

Lily Allen has announced she will be playing a second date in Nottingham as part of a new run of live arena dates after selling out her 2026 theatre shows within minutes.

The British pop star has been riding high on the success of her comeback album West End Girl, which received rave reviews from critics while hitting No 2 on the UK albums chart.

Following its success, Allen announced a tour of smaller theatre venues across the UK to perform the album – and this sold out in minutes.

The Smile singer will play a sold out show at Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall on March 14, 2026 and now a second show at the city’s Motorpoint Arena on June 23.

Her new album West End Girl has wowed critics

Tickets will go on sale on Thursday, November 27 at 10am and be available from gigsandtours and Ticketmaster.

The theatre tour will star Allen performing West End Girl in its entirety, in the order that the songs appear on the record. The album, believed to be inspired by the singer’s split from her husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, has received ravde reviews, with many critics singling out the vulnerability in her lyrics.

The new tour dates are as follows:

16 June – Newcastle Utilita Arena

17 June – Glasgow OVO Hydro

19 June – Manchester AO Arena

21 June – Leeds First Direct Bank Arena

23 June – Nottingham Motorpoint Arena
