Feisty songstress Lily Allen will play her first headline show for four years after taking a break to raise her family.

She will be at Shepherd's Bush Empire on April 28 playing songs from her new album Sheezus which is due for release a week later on May 5 and includes recent hit Air Balloon.

The Hammersmith-born, mum-of-two, won three Ivor Novello Awards in 2010 and then took a step back from the music industry for three years, retreating to her Cotswolds home and working on establishing her own record label.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 4 at 9am.
