Billie Eilish’s world tour includes two Dublin dates

BILLIE Eilish has announced a new tour with dates for Dublin and UK gigs in 2025.

The Hit Me Hard And Soft tour, named after her latest record, begins at Centre Videotron in Quebec.

The dates in Canada and the US run until December, before the 22-year-old singer heads to Australia in February 2025 ahead of her European dates starting in April at Sweden’s Avicii Arena in Stockholm.

Eilish will then play Glasgow’s OVO Hydro arena from July 7 to July 8, before six dates at London’s O2 Arena from July 10.

She will then move to Manchester’s Co-op Live arena for four dates from July 19, and then head to Ireland to perform at Dublin’s 3Arena from July 26-27.

Eilish also continues to partner with the plant-based food organisation Support + Feed and environmental non-profit organisation REVERB.

The concerts will reduce “greenhouse gas pollution, decreasing single-use plastic waste, supporting climate action, and updating concession offerings to promote and encourage plantbased food options”.

Eco-villages from REVERB are to be put up in two locations during the show and there will be plant-based food drives with Support + Feed and fans to gather goods to distribute to local communities.

The third studio record of Eilish comes out on May 17 and her website says the new work should be listened to chronologically as it “hits you hard and soft both lyrically and sonically, while bending genres and defying trends along the way”.

The album cover features the double Oscar-winner on her back underwater with a door open above her.

Eilish’s last album was 2021’s Happier Than Ever, and her debut record When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? was released in 2019.

Earlier this year she won a best original song Oscar gong for Barbie song What Was I Made For?

It follows on from her picking up the same prize for No Time To Die, from the James Bond film of the same name.

General ticket sales for the tour begin on Friday.
