Billie Eilish thrilled her UK fans on Monday by announcing several tour dates across the UK as part of her upcoming world tour. The 22-year-old singer’s massive 81-date tour, promoting her new album “Нit Me Hard And Soft,” will take her to North America, Australia, and Europe starting in September 2024.
Eilish has scheduled 12 UK dates, including two shows in Glasgow, six in London, and four in Manchester. The announcement was made on social media, where she posted that tickets would go on sale on May 3, with pre-sales for select markets from April 30 to May 1, offering early access to American Express cardholders. However, she also noted that pre-sale access does not guarantee tickets, as the supply is limited.
The tour starts in Quebec, Canada, and will conclude in Dublin, Ireland, in July 2025. Stops along the way include Paris, Los Angeles, and Amsterdam, among other cities. Fans responded enthusiastically to the announcement on social media, with one commenter writing, “MANCHESTER HERE I COME (hopefully) love uuuuuu lots lots,” while others expressed their excitement, hoping to secure tickets.
This tour announcement comes just weeks before the release of Eilish’s third studio album, “Нit Me Hard And Soft,” set for release on May 17. Her previous tours included the Don’t Smile at Me Tour, When We All Fall Asleep Tour, and Happier Than Ever, The World Tour.
The news follows an in-depth interview Eilish gave to Rolling Stone, where she candidly discussed topics such as sexuality, mаstᴜrbаtion, and body image issues. In the interview, she shared how mаstᴜrbаtion and sеx have helped her decompress and form a deeper connection with her body, particularly in the context of body dysmorphia.
Eilish revealed that discussing sexuality is often taboo, and she believes it’s time for that to change. She also mentioned feeling compеllеd to come out as quееr during a red carpet interview last year, sharing that she’s been attracted to womеn her whole life. Despite initially not planning to discuss her sexuality publicly, she acknowledged it after realizing her attraction to womеn was clear to her.
Overall, Eilish’s openness and honesty about her journey, along with her highly anticipated world tour, have continued to resonate with her fans, further solidifying her place as one of the most influential artists of her generation.
