Lily Allen

Lily Allen returns to the stage at Nottingham Arena on 23 June 2026. Born in London and first spotted online in the mid-2000s, she made her mark with a mix of pop, ska and reggae and a knack for sharp, conversational lyrics about everyday life, relationships and celebrity. After the storytelling swing of Alright, Still, she pivoted toward sleeker, synth-led pop on It’s Not Me, It’s You, then amped up the electropop on Sheezus before stripping things back for the more intimate No Shame. Along the way, she’s worked with producers like Mark Ronson and Greg Kurstin, moving easily between mainstream sheen and more independent projects.

On stage in Nottingham, she draws from that full spectrum: early streetwise pop, glossy electronic cuts and quieter, confessional songs, carried by her direct delivery and a band built on groove and precision. It’s a set that plays with contrast as much as melody, tracing her catalogue from its first rush to its more reflective edges, and reminding why her writing sits so comfortably between bite and vulnerability.
