Billie Eilish‘s third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, is just under three weeks away from being released. The singer and songwriter — and current Rolling Stone cover star — has made clear that she won’t be releasing any singles from the record in advance, but she has announced an extensive global arena tour in support of the release.
The Hit Me Hard and Soft tour will mark Eilish’s first return to the road since the conclusion of the Happier Than Ever world tour, which ran for 88 shows from February 2022 through April 2023. This new run of shows will include 81 stops across North America, Australia, and Europe beginning in September 2024 and wrapping in July 2025.
Eilish will begin the tour in Québec on Sept. 29 and perform in Toronto, Philadelphia, Nashville, Cincinnati, Denver, Seattle, Chicago, and more on the North American leg. Multiple venues on the trek will host the musician for more than one night, including New York’s Madison Square Garden and Inglewood’s Kia Forum, where she’s set to perform for three nights in a row in October and December, respectively.
The Australian leg will begin in February 2025, with stops in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney. From there, Eilish will head over to Europe in April 2025 for performances in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, London, Dublin, and more.
General sale for the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour will begin on Friday, May 3 via the official Billie Eilish website. The sale will include any tickets remaining following the conclusion of multiple pre-sales, most of which will begin on Tuesday, April 30.
The North American tour leg, in particular, will feature the use of Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange, which allows fans to resell their tickets to other people for the original price they paid in an effort to discourage price-gouging resellers. “To help protect the Exchange, the tour has requested all tickets be mobile only and restricted from transfer,” a press release notes. “This applies to all shows except those in Colorado, Illinois, and New York where Face Value Exchange cannot be mandated.”
The tour will also implement environmental sustainability practices at the request of Eilish. “I have never had an interest in being a role model, ever,” she told Rolling Stone. “If you’re going to think I’m a role model, think I’m a role model in terms of trying to save the environment, and being more conscious of the way that you live, and your carbon footprint, and your contribution to animal agriculture.”
