Produced by Live Nation, Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour will launch in North America this September before visiting Australia and Europe
By James Hanley on 29 Apr 2024
Billie Eilish has announced a huge arena tour for 2024/25, stopping in North America, Europe and Australia.
Produced by Live Nation, Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour will support Eilish’s third studio album and will start in Canada at Québec’s Centre Videotron on 29 September.
The US and Canada leg will wrap up with three shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California from 15-17 December before heading Down Under for multiple nights in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne from February to March 2025.
The European dates will commence in Sweden at Stockholm’s Avicii Arena from 23-24 April, going on to visit Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Czechia, Poland, Austria, Italy, France and Spain, prior to landing in the UK in July, when Eilish will perform two concerts at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro (7-8 July), six dates at The O2 (10-17 July) and four shows in Manchester at Co-op Live (19-23 July).
Eilish, whose new LP Hit Me Hard and Soft is set for release on 17 May, will then conclude the run in Ireland at Dublin’s 3Arena on 26-27 July. She is represented by Sara Bollwinkel, Tom Windish and Mike Malak at Wasserman Music.
Eilish will continue her long-standing partnership with environmental nonprofit Reverb on the tour
Tickets go on general sale on 3 May. The 22-year-old singer will continue her long-standing partnership with environmental nonprofit Reverb on the tour, which has previously resulted in more than $1 million donated to environmental, greenhouse gas reduction, and climate justice projects.
Sustainability efforts on the tour will include reducing greenhouse gas pollution, decreasing single-use plastic waste, supporting climate action, and updating concession offerings to promote and encourage plant-based food options with Support+Feed.
A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales in North America will go to Reverb, while Reverb Eco-Villages will be set up at two locations in the main concourse of every show.
Where possible, fans are encouraged to take public transportation and carpool to and from the concerts to help reduce greenhouse gas pollution and encourage more public transportation options. Venues will also be offering plant-based food options at all shows.
Eilish’s previous global outing, the 88-date Happier than Ever, The World Tour, ran from February 2022 to April 2023.
