Billie Eilish is about to knock your socks off (and maybe your shoes) with her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour! Yeah, you heard that right. Billie’s coming in like a wrecking ball… but also like a cozy pillow. You get the best of both worlds!
She kicked off the tour in style at the Centre Videotron in Quebec City on Sunday, September 29. And by “kicked off,” I mean she probably stomped on our feelings while simultaneously giving us warm fuzzies. The genius behind “Bad Guy” strutted her stuff on a stage that’s probably bigger than your dreams, performing “in the round,” meaning the audience got a 360-degree view of Billie being iconic from every angle.
Oh, and the setlist? Straight fire. She treated the crowd to 10 tracks from her latest album, including bangers like “LUNCH” (yes, that’s the name of a song—Billie’s making me hungry), “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” (cue emotional group hug), and “THE GREATEST” (because obviously, she is). If you weren’t there, well, let’s just say your FOMO levels should be at an all-time high.
Next stop? Toronto! She’s got two sold-out shows on October 1st, and if you’re not one of the lucky ones with tickets, you’ll have to make do with crying into your poutine. After that, she’ll be hitting up major cities like New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and Denver. It’s basically a North American invasion, and we’re all just here for the ride.
The Wolff brothers, Nat and Alex, kicked things off as openers, probably melting hearts with their smooth tunes and, let’s be real, their faces. They’ll be popping up at different stops along the tour, and if that wasn’t enough, Billie’s also recruited Towa Bird and The Marías for some select dates. Yes, you read that right: it’s a star-studded musical extravaganza!
But wait, there’s more! Billie’s fans screamed, cried, and begged for more dates (probably while clutching their vinyl collections), and like a benevolent queen, Billie has granted them TWO extra shows in Los Angeles. Because why wrap up the tour with a nice little bow when you can blow the roof off the Kia Forum for five straight nights?! The new dates, December 20 and 21, will feature special guests Ashnikko and FINNEAS. Ashnikko will bring her chaotic energy, and FINNEAS—well, he’s Billie’s brother, so he might as well just set up a tent on stage at this point.
Now, if you’re thinking “Wow, Billie’s amazing, but is she also saving the world?” The answer is YES. Billie isn’t just hitting us with great music, she’s partnering with environmental nonprofit REVERB to tackle the climate crisis. Last time around, she raised a casual $1 million for environmental and climate justice projects. No big deal, right? She also managed to stop 117,000 single-use plastic water bottles from hitting the landfill and saved 8.8 million gallons of water—like some sort of eco-superhero with a killer wardrobe.
This time, she’s going even greener (if that’s possible). She’s cutting down on greenhouse gas pollution, reducing single-use plastics, and encouraging plant-based food options because why not save the planet while you sing your heart out?
Oh, and a portion of the ticket sales will go to support organizations fighting food insecurity and the climate crisis, so basically, going to this concert makes you a superhero too. Congrats!
After Billie finishes conquering North America, she’s taking her talents worldwide in 2025, with stops in Australia, Europe, the UK, and Ireland. So, if you’re overseas, start practicing your Billie scream now. You’re gonna need it.
