Billie Eilish, the 22-year-old American vocalist, has officially unveiled the schedule for her forthcoming “Hit Me Hard And Soft” tour, which is in promotion of her newest album. The musical journey commences with a North American stretch in September, kicking off in Quebec, Canada at Centre Videotron. She will continue thrilling audiences in the US and Canada until December and then take her pulsating performances to Australia in February 2025, later embarking on her European stint.
In Europe, Eilish will dominate Sweden’s Avicii Arena in Stockholm come April. She has also made provisions for Irish supporters, scheduling shows at Dublin’s 3Arena on July 26th and 27th. Prior to this, fans in the UK can catch her electrifying performances at London’s notable O2 Arena, Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena, and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro arena.
As part of her commitment to sustainability, Live Nation has urged concert-goers to utilise eco-friendly transport for the tour. Furthermore, in collaboration with Support + Feed, a plant-based food initiative, and REVERB, an environmental non-profit, measures have been taken to minimise the carbon emissions, reduce single-use plastics and lend a hand towards climate action during the concerts. Environmental Education (“Eco-Villages”) by REVERB and plant-based food collects organised with fans and Support + Feed, will aid local communities.
Eilish’s third studio album, which is due to be released on May 17th, has been created to be a lyrical and sonic sensation that defies genres and rebels against current music trends. The Grammy winner suggests fans listen to the album in sequence for the best experience for it to truly “hit you hard and soft”.
The double Oscar-winner’s latest triumph was bagging the best original song Academy Award for “What Was I Made For?” from the movie “Barbie”. This comes after her success with “No Time To Die”, the theme track for the Bond film of the same name, which also won her an Oscar. General ticket availability for the upcoming tour begins on Friday.
