British singer Lily Allen will perform in Auckland as part of the biggest tour of her career.

In support of her 2025 album, West End Girl, the singer-songwriter will perform concerts throughout October and November, starting in Auckland, before moving through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Allen will play her latest, critically acclaimed album in its entirety, in the order the songs appear on the record.

All songs on West End Girl were written by Allen, unpacking life as a middle-aged woman in the dating scene and rediscovering her sense of sexual identity in the fallout of her very public divorce with Stranger Things actor David Harbour.

Rolling Stone described the album as "an odyssey of betrayal and heartbreak, an investigation of the way we perceive ourselves and the people we wake up next to every morning, and a litmus test for how honest we’re allowed to be in art and life".

The Guardian said it was “a gobsmacking autopsy of marital betrayal”.

Allen was last in NZ in 2019 and will return on 21 October for one show at Spark Arena.

Tickets go on sale 9 February.
