Lily Allen hasn’t performed for her fans in Australia since 2019, but she recently indicated that she’s planning to return soon.

The Not Fair singer is plotting tour dates for later this year, according to a recent interview with triple j.

“I am not at liberty to discuss any specific details, but I will be in that hemisphere before the end of the year,” Allen said after Abby and Tyrone quizzed her about a potential return. She caught up with the radio hosts after her song, Pussy Palace, made it to #38 on this year’s Hottest 100.

In addition to Allen’s brief teaser, tour promoters Frontier Touring commented on triple j’s video on Instagram using the sideways eyes emoji. The promoters brought Allen to Australia in February 2019, in support of her 2018 record No Shame. For that tour, she was joined by special guests Japanese Wallpaper and BENEE.

Popular Australian music platform Whatslively, which lists live music events taking place Down Under, recently announced concert tours and festivals, has a 100% tour prediction for Lily Allen’s long-awaited return to Australia. To find out when the dates drop, you can sign up here for updates.

In October, Lily Allen released her fifth album, West End Girl. The follow-up to No Shame, the highly personal record was primarily written by Allen, who also co-produced the project alongside Seb Chew, Kito, Blue May, and others. Upon its release, West End Girl debuted at #6 in Australia.

The alt-pop project reflects on the undoing of Allen’s marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour. Throughout the album, she processes his alleged infidelity and expresses raw emotions, backed by guitars, beats, and keyboards.

While the album’s narrative and vulnerability have made waves among critics and fans, Allen said that the lyrics draw on real-life experiences from her marriage, but West End Girl “could be considered autofiction” as she used “artistic licence.”

Before releasing the album, Allen discussed “trying to manifest” a record in early 2025.

Allen made her comments in an episode of the Miss Me? podcast that she co-hosts with Miquita Oliver. “Firstly, I’m going to go and get my head straight for a bit,” Allen explained.

“I’m doing a little bit of work on myself in this beginning period of the year, then I’m going to do some more writing, then I’m going to do my play, hopefully, maybe get an album out by the end of the year. That would be nice, wouldn’t it?”

“It’s not real, I’m just trying to manifest it now,” she continued, before later adding, “Listen, I’ve got this. We’re bringing Lily Allen back in 2025.”

Now, we’re waiting for Lily Allen live in Australia in 2026.
