Billie Eilish will embark on her seventh tour after announcing that she’ll be hitting the road for her “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” on April 29, 2024, following the release of her third studio album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft”, on May 17, 2024.
On her third album, Billie Eilish reconnects with “The Girl That I Was,” and “Hit Me Hard and Soft” embraces the unique blend of quirky, sensual, and tender aspects of her creativity.
“Hit Me Hard and Soft” opens and closes with Eilish as a bird in a cage, with this eerie symbolism casting her introspection against the backdrop of a youth deeply intertwined with the weight of her overwhelming fame. Five years after the massive impact of her haunting, Grammy-dominating debut album, Eilish revisits her roots in this focused 10-track collection, while continuing to experiment with her signature fluid song arrangements.
She’s set to travel across 15 countries to deliver 77 shows of “…some big emotional wallops”. With ethereal sounds and minimalistic production, The Hit Me Hard And Soft Tour promises to be thrilling. The tour is in support of her third studio album Hit Me Hard And Soft.
Here’s everything you need to know about Eilish and her upcoming tour:
Billie Eilish’s Rise to stardom
Born as Bilie Eilish Pirate Baird O`Connell in December 2002, the “What Was I Made For” crooner is an American singer and songwriter who gained public attention after the release of her first song Ocean Eyes, in 2015.
It received critical acclaim, topping charts and going platinum in the United States, Australia, and Canada. It launched Billie’s career and established her as a rising star in the music industry.
She later released, Bored, which ended up in the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.
Label deal and album release
The teenage sensation was signed to Darkroom in 2016 after the global success of Ocean Eyes. With the new label, she released her first album, When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? on March 29, 2019. It topped the US Billboard 200 and UK Album Chart at no. 1.
The album earned her four Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. Her single Bad Guy from the album won Song of the Year and Record of the Year. What a way to introduce yourself to the game. In addition, she became the first artist from the 21st century to top the US Billboard Hot 100. She had two phases for her tour. Her Where Do We Go? World Tour was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 22-year-old released her second studio album, Happier Than Ever on July 30, 2021. The album was a reflection of her emotions during the pandemic. She went on a World Tour to support the album on February 3, 2022. It began at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, and ended in Guadalajara, Mexico, in April 2023.
Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour
The hazel-eyed singer is hitting the road once again in support of her album Hit Me Hard And Soft. The album was released on May 17, 2024, and is her first studio album not to debut at no. 1. With 10 songs in the top 40. The album was very feminine and music critics appreciated this theme, especially the lead single Lunch.
The album was co-written by Eilish and her brother Finneas, who also handled production. It will be released on all digital platforms, and in alignment with sustainability goals, it will be available in limited physical editions made from 100% recyclable materials. The “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” will kick off in Canada at Québec’s Centre Videotron on September 29, 2024, in support of Eilish’s third studio album.
The tour will continue Eilish’s collaboration with environmental nonprofit Reverb, which has contributed $1 million to environmental, greenhouse gas reduction, and climate justice initiatives. Sustainability efforts on the tour will focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing single-use plastic waste, supporting climate action, and updating stands to include more plant-based food options.
Grossing and sales records
On its release day, “Hit Me Hard and Soft” garnered 72.7 million streams on Spotify worldwide, making it her most successful streaming debut on the platform. During its first week, it achieved over 500 million streams globally, marking Billie Eilish’s highest streaming week to date. In under two months, the project surpassed 2 billion streams, becoming the fastest to reach that milestone.
“Hit Me Hard and Soft” debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 339,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, including 191,000 pure album sales. While it is her first studio album not to debut at number one, it achieved Eilish’s highest first-week sales in the US and her largest pure sales. Additionally, all ten tracks from the album entered the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.
