Lily Allen is making significant changes to the U.S. portion of her North American tour, opting for smaller venues in several markets after announcing the cancellation of multiple arena dates.
The revised itinerary affects shows in cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Vancouver, and Montreal. Those performances will be replaced by appearances at theaters and amphitheaters, while a number of previously announced dates will continue as scheduled.
Fans who purchased tickets for the canceled arena shows will automatically receive refunds. They will also have access to presale opportunities for the replacement performances before tickets become available to the general public.
The changes come after reports of slow ticket sales for several arena dates and discussion among fans about the show’s unique presentation. Rather than offering a traditional career-spanning setlist, Allen’s production centers on a full performance of her latest album in a theatrical format with minimal audience interaction.
Allen has previously explained that the structure of the concert is a deliberate creative decision intended to serve the story behind the album. The updated routing reflects a move toward venues that better match the scale and style of the production while allowing the tour to continue across North America.
