Lily Allen

On 7 July 2026, Lily Allen plays The O2 in London. From her early MySpace uploads to Alright, Still, she built a sound that folds pop, ska and reggae into sharp, conversational storytelling rooted in city life. With It’s Not Me, It’s You, she pivoted toward synth-led pop and lyrics that tackle relationships, politics and fame with a frankness that stuck. She returned in 2014 with Sheezus, leaning into bright electropop, then stripped things back on No Shame in 2018, a more intimate record that drew on personal upheavals. Along the way she’s worked with producers like Mark Ronson and Greg Kurstin and moved between mainstream stages and more independent projects.

On stage, Allen keeps it direct and melodic, slipping from breezy hooks to lines that bite. Expect a set that spans her catalogue, from early snapshots like Smile and LDN to later cuts such as The Fear or Hard Out Here, with that mix of wit, bounce and candid detail that made her voice instantly recognisable. A night to hear how her pop writing has grown without losing the immediacy that launched her in the mid-2000s, back in her hometown at The O2.
