Billie Eilish has unveiled plans for two album listening events in support of her eagerly awaited third studio album, “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT,” slated for release on May 17. These events, sponsored by American Express and organized by Live Nation, are set to take place on May 15 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, and on May 16 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA. The partnerships with YouTube Music and Snapchat add to the excitement surrounding these gatherings.
Fans can secure their spot at these exclusive listening parties by requesting up to two tickets through Ticketmaster. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, May 7 at 9 AM PT. While requests do not guarantee admission, confirmations will be sent out by Friday, May 10.
These events precede Billie Eilish’s extensive “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR” announcement, marking a significant moment in her musical journey. Beginning in September 2024, the North American leg of the tour will span until December 2024, followed by dates in Australia starting February 2025, and then arena performances in Europe, the U.K., and Ireland from April to late July.
The album itself, “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT,” is a collaboration between Billie Eilish and her long-time partner, FINNEAS, who not only co-wrote the songs but also produced the album. It will be available on all major digital platforms, with a commitment to sustainability evident in its limited physical formats, utilizing 100% recyclable materials. This eco-conscious approach aligns with Eilish’s ongoing efforts to minimize waste and address environmental concerns within the music industry.
