Pop Superstar Billie Eilish Announces Huge Australian Tour

International News Regarding Billie Eilish – Pop Superstar Billie Eilish Announces Huge Australian Tour

Billie Eilish, a nine-time Grammy and dual Oscar winner, will return to Australia in February 2025 to tour her upcoming album Hit Me Hard and Soft.

The pop superstar’s new studio album will be available on May 17. She will perform 12 dates on the East Coast.

These venues include the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on February 18, 19, 21, and 22, the Qudos Bank Arena at Sydney Olympic Park on February 24, 25, 27, and 28, and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on March 4, 5, 7, and 8.

The Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, promoted by Live Nation and Frontier Touring in Australia, will kick off in North America in September, then travel to Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

Eilish, 22, first gained public attention in 2015 with her debut single Ocean Eyes, which was written and produced by her brother Finneas O’Connell, with whom she continues to collaborate on music and live shows.

Her career was transformed by 2019’s Bad Guy, a song whose chorus features a sample of the sound made by a Sydney traffic light when it turns green at a pedestrian crossing.

The song, from her debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, earned her a Grammy and debuted in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No.1 in 2019, making her the first artist born in the twenty-first century to top the US album charts.

In Australia, the song won the 2019 Triple J Hottest 100, making Eilish the first female solo artist and the youngest act (at the age of 18) to top the fan-voted poll.

She and her brother won the Academy Award for Best Original Song last month for the song “What Was I Made For?” Written for Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster film Barbie, the pair delivered a powerful performance at the ceremony.

It was the pair’s second Oscar wins in the category, having previously received recognition in 2022 for No Time to Die from the James Bond film of the same name.

Tickets for the Australian tour will go on sale via Ticketek on Friday, May 3.
