Lily Allen returned last fall with her first album in seven years, a Lemonade-esque concept album about the collapse of her marriage called West End Girls. Now she’s played her first concert in seven years too, assuming you don’t count promotional appearances like her December SNL appearance and January’s Chateau Marmont pop-up as concerts (and we don’t).
Allen will be performing West End Girls throughout North America in April, but she’s getting things started in the UK. At Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, she did indeed perform all 14 songs from West End Girl as advertsed — nothing more, nothing less. However, the opening act was a string trio performing Allen’s hits with the lyrics projected behind them for the audience to sing along, so that’s fun.
The performance marked the live debuts for more than half of the album. Check out fan footage from Glasgow below.
