I went to her show in Boston, 2018. The show was great, I really liked her performance, however, my brother who was with me at the time noted that she was singing along to her own vocals with her song, so it wasn’t just the instrumental. For me, the wait in the venue was really a downside. The doors opened at 7, nothing happened until 8, the opening act started and ended at 8:30, and then we waited for another 30-40 minutes. My brother even told me when it was 9 that if she hadn’t come out by 9:30, we’d just leave. Hearing that after waiting four hours before even getting in made me sad. The concert was great though, but the worst part of it for me was the people in front of me. I know it isn’t billie’s fault herself, but I felt that maybe I should say this as a review of my experience. There was a girl beside me who kept glancing at me every two seconds on purpose as if I was doing something wrong!! I don’t know if it was because of my coat (which I couldn’t do anything about, everyone was cramped together anyways, but she was so annoying and aggravating!!!! I was honestly about to tell her something, and my brother noticed too. The fans around me were kind of rude, like going into a space for handicapped people, and pushing against people who were handicapped. But beyond that, maybe if I was actually able to see the show and not have to look through the cracks of two heads, I would have enjoyed it so so much more. So if you’re short and there’s no seats at the venue, I suggest you get there really really early! 4 hours wasn’t enough for me, but it depends.

Seeing Billie Eilish in concert was a great pleasure !

The energy that she gives to the audience is crazy, the control she has on her voice, her dance moves, the musicians with her and her being so young are all the facts that make her concerts amazing.

She is close to her public and really owns the stage, I honestly think she is going to do very great in the music industry if she goes on like this.

The public that attends her concerts is also quite young, problably in a range from 15 to 25. As for the kind of music she makes, I am really not a specialist but if I had to describe it, I would definitely use the words "chill", "confidence", "energy" and "f*ckyou".

As a plus : I personnaly love the fact that she writes and plays with her brother, I think they have such a special bond, it's nice to see them together !

My point of view is really altered beacause I love everything about her, but still, I think you have to see this all by yourself ;)

The Billie Eilish WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO show was the best night of my life. It was super rainy before the show started and there was a severe weather warning throughout the opener, Denzel Curry. A lot of people left and took shelter, but since it was GA, my group and I stayed put. Denzel was an absolutely AMAZING opener, and he had SOO much energy. His songs were amazing, especially Clout Cobain, my current favorite song ever, other than Billie’s songs. After the opener, there was songs blasting through the speakers, such as Ariana Grande, and Sam Smith. I’m pretty sure Billie picked these songs and that were a great way to get ready for her. It began to get really dark in the sky, and the rain stopped. It was time for the show. There were lights and they turned off and her intro started playing. The show started and she had so much energy and she was so happy. The concert was insane.

It was the best show. Really. If you have any chance to see her take it . The energyyyy. I can’t even describe it. I can still feel it when I think about the show . And she was sooo cute I love her. She got emotional and cried a bit and she thanked us and said that we are the reason that she is living a dream she was so sweet. And for all the songs she was hyped and the whole arena was jumping, screaming, singing just enjoying the show. And when she sang the last song she left and we were all screaming and clapping and screaming Billie because we didn’t want it to end . And then she got back and bad guy went on again and let me tell you that shit was craaazyy. We all gave everything to the song and it was epic . Really , really amazing and I wish I could go again and again on every single show there is. I love her so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Epic.

I absolutely loved this show!! The way the theater was built, every seat had a great view and it wasn’t too far from the stage. I loved the show very very much. Billie’s graphics and the way she uses her props are amazing, ESPECIALLY the videos and the way she incorporates them into her lyrics. And the way her and her brother (Finneas o’connell) get along are adorable. She talks to the audience enough to get them hyped up for the next song! Billie sadly sprung her foot a few days before the show, but that didn’t stop her from doing ANYTHING, she was a trooper and kept the show going and exciting. Absolutely loved it and so did my family & friends, billie is such an awesome person and i’m so glad i got to go. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to her concert if you can, you will NOT regret it. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

I am a 51 year old Mother of a 15 year old daughter. This was her first concert and she brought a friend. I wasnt that familiar with Billie Eillish but found her to be crazy talented. Her show was filled with amazing theatrics. The relationship between her and her brother Is so sweet. Great Show! Not usually a fan of rap but also enjoyed Denzel Curry. Denzel was nice enough to stop the show when an audience member fainted. At that point he saiid he wanted everyone to have fun but to be safe. He had his crew pass out cold bottled water to as many people as they could. Next time Billie comes to KC, I bet she can fill a bigger auditorium such as Sprint Center. Overall a great experience and a memory for my daughter that she got to see her idol!

Billie Eilish was outstanding! It was one of the best nights ever! Her performance was perfect and vocals on point. I was crying my eyes out! The only problem was the General Admission sections. At first it didn’t seem too bad when we were waiting for Billie but, it so much worse. Everybody from the back started pushing and pushing us. I got bruises on both my arms. I understand that it’s General Admission but there certainly was no need to push. I even saw girls my age (12) getting pushed and trampled. It was horrific. Other than all that, Billie was absolutely the best. If you want to go to her concert, I suggest you spend a little more money on VIP tickets and ensure the best view (and you also won’t get pushed as much).

This was my first concert, I was kinda nervous for it to be standing crowd but OH MY GOD I CRIED! Billie was soooo amazing, I can’t even put it into words. The best part was how she told everyone to be in the moment and just live how you are, I felt so good then, she is the most pure human I’ve ever seen. The funniest part was probably when someone threw something on stage and the next thing Billie said was “that was definitely a bra”. She lit up my life, and having Denzel Curry open was so cool. They are both such woke people and it really changed how I see people that are famous, I thought most celebrities were uptight and dicks, but they were so nice! I LOVED IT SOOO MUCH!!

the billie eilish concert in slc was absolutely amazing. i have been to A LOT of awesome concerts in my life and none compare to her. she did so great. she was always dancing and moving around and the energy around her made u want to have a good time. i love how billie isn’t afraid to be herself and how she will just do whatever she wants. it was pretty crazy to be in the mosh pit because everyone just wanted to be closer to her so we were all shoving and pushing our way to the front. but overall this concert was incredible and i don’t think i will ever be able to go to a concert that out does billie eilish. thank u billie for an amazing night

Before the concert it took a little while longer to set up so the opening act had to stay out for a little longer and keep the crowd etertained. But once it got going the room imidiately lit up. The concert was very high energy and billie has such a great stage presence. Her voice live sounds amazing and her confidence was incredible. The same goes for her brother Phineas who performed with her. Both before and after the show she greeted non VIP fans who stayed late or got there early and she was really kind to them. One of the best and intimate concert experiences I’ve ever had and I hope to see her again live.

Billie Eilish Unveils ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft' World Tour Dates

Billie Eilish's third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, is just under three weeks away from being released. The singer and songwriter - and current Rolling Stone cover star - has made clear that she won't be releasing any singles from the record in advance, but she has announced an extensive global arena tour in support of the release.

The Hit Me Hard and Soft tour will mark Eilish's first return to the road since the conclusion of the Happier Than Ever world tour, which ran for 88 shows from February 2022 through April 2023. This new run of shows will include 81 stops across North America, Australia, and Europe beginning in September 2024 and wrapping in July 2025.

Eilish will begin the tour in Québec on Sept. 29 and perform in Toronto, Philadelphia, Nashville, Cincinnati, Denver, Seattle, Chicago, and more on the North American leg. Multiple venues on the trek will host the musician for more than one night, including New York's Madison Square Garden and Inglewood's Kia Forum, where she's set to perform for three nights in a row in October and December, respectively.

The Australian leg will begin in February 2025, with stops in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney. From there, Eilish will head over to Europe in April 2025 for performances in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, London, Dublin, and more.

General sale for the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour will begin on Friday, May 3 via the official Billie Eilish website . The sale will include any tickets remaining following the conclusion of multiple pre-sales, most of which will begin on Tuesday, April 30.

The North American tour leg, in particular, will feature the use of Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange, which allows fans to resell their tickets to other people for the original price they paid in an effort to discourage price-gouging resellers. "To help protect the Exchange, the tour has requested all tickets be mobile only and restricted from transfer," a press release notes. "This applies to all shows except those in Colorado, Illinois, and New York where Face Value Exchange cannot be mandated."

The tour will also implement environmental sustainability practices at the request of Eilish. "I have never had an interest in being a role model, ever," she told Rolling Stone . "If you're going to think I'm a role model, think I'm a role model in terms of trying to save the environment, and being more conscious of the way that you live, and your carbon footprint, and your contribution to animal agriculture."

Billie Eilish wraps up Happier Than Ever, The World Tour with rousing performance at day two of Music Midtown 2023: 'Officially the last show'

The long and winding road of Billie Eilish 's latest tour has come to an end.

The pop superstar delivered her last performance of the Happier Than Ever, The World Tour at day two of the Music Midtown 2023 at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday. 

The Ocean Eyes hitmaker appeared to be thoroughly enjoying herself while giving it her all on stage dressed in sheer black shorts that she matched with a white 'Great Oak' football jersey and sneakers.

Spicing up the style, the Los Angeles native also donned sexy black fishnet stockings and fingerless white gloves, along with an assortment of silver necklaces.

Rounding out her look for her swan song show, Eilish went with predominantly black locks, with touches of bright red on the roots and under layers of her hair.

That's a wrap! Billie Eilish, 21, wrapped up her Happier Than Ever, The World Tour at day two of the Music Midtown 2023 festival at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday

The long tour, which began back in February 2022, was in support of her second studio album, Happier Than Ever (2021).

Eilish co-wrote the album with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O'Connell, who also produced the album and played every instrument.

Eilish cited self-reflection during the COVID-19 pandemic as the biggest inspiration for the record that drew heavily from her rise to fame as a teenager and the drawbacks that come with it. 

initially, the tour consisted of 50 dates (32 in North America and 18 in Europe), but tickets sold out quickly, leading to the addition of more dates as the days and weeks went by.

During the global trek Eilish did her best to play all of the hits fans come to expect to hear, which include Ocean Eyes, Bad Guy, I Love You, NDA, When The Party's, Everything I Wanted, OverTherefore I Am, and show opener Bury A Friend.

Ahead of Saturday's show Eilish informed her fans that this would be the last of her long tour.

Taking to Instagram stories, the singer wrote, 'Officially the last show of this whole tour tonight. Until next time my loves.'

She sent out the message over a photo of Hollywood leading man Ryan Gosling.

Singer and guitarist Matty Healy led the band's 17-song performance alongside his childhood mates, Adam Hann (lead guitarist), Ross MacDonald (bassist), and George Daniel (drummer and producer).

The end of the tour is likely welcome news for Eilish, considering her previous show at Electric Picnic 2023 in Stradbally, Leinster, Ireland she had been very ill.

Before the performance, the Grammy  winning singer sent a message to her fans on social media, writing, 'Ireland.  I am really, really sick and honestly, really suffering.'

But in the end, the 21-year-old superstar did not disappoint fans and powered through the illness to the delight of the the 50,000 people who had come to see her. 

Referring to her work ethic she added, 'You know me and you know that I wouldn't cancel a show if I was like literally dying... (this does feel pretty close tho lol) but the show must go on.'

'I will see you tonight,' the What Was I Made For artist penned.

She then asked for some consideration completing the message with, 'Please keep in mind that I am trying my best and I'm gonna need your help tonight. Go hard for me ;)'

In a video shared by Leinster Express from the top of the show, the ailing hitmaker sounds a little stuffed up as she speaks into the microphone.

The Lovely singer asked the crowd to 'give me all that you've got, okay, because I can only do so much tonight.'

She then ordered them to build up the energy by bouncing with her. 

'If I can do it, you can f**cking do it,' she told them.

Billie opened the show singing You Should See Me In a Crown while bouncing across the stage. 

Trooper: Just a couple of weeks ago Eilish powered through an illness and performed at a festival in Ireland after warning the crowd she was 'really, really sick'

Message: The ailing singer delivered a message ahead of her show at Electric Picnic 2023, asking her fans to 'go hard for me ;)'

Bounce: Eilish began her 70 minute performance by asking the crowd to bounce with her before performing  You Should See Me In a Crown

Cough: Billie was heard coughing and sniffling during the show, but kept going until the end

The Billboard Music Award winner chose a loose fitting white  Nike top over black basketball shorts, with black socks and white sneakers for the performance.

She placed a cap that with the word 'Danger' on it over her dark hair.

The crowd can be heard singing Happier Than Ever along with the artist, who had to pause to cough in a fan video shared on Instagram.  

To build more of a community feeling among the audience, she asked them to turn to the person next to them and give them a hug, according to Independent.ie . 

The outlet reported Billie closed the 70 minute show telling the crowd, 'I love you so much, thanks for having me, but I'll see you again. '

Fans are following taylor swift to europe after finding eras tour tickets less costly there.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

LONDON (AP) — Thousands of ride-or-die Taylor Swift fans who missed out on her US concert tour last year or didn’t want to buy exorbitantly priced tickets to see her again found an out-of-the-way solution: Fly to Europe.

The pop star is scheduled to kick off the 18-city Europe leg of her record-setting Eras Tour  in Paris on Thursday, and planeloads of Swifties plan to follow Miss Americana across the pond in the coming weeks. The arena where Swift is appearing said Americans bought 20% of the tickets for her four sold-out shows. Stockholm, the tour’s next stop, expects about 10,000 concertgoers from the US.

A concert might sound like an odd raison d’etre for visiting a foreign country, especially when fans can watch the Eras Tour from home via the documentary now streaming on Disney+ . Yet online travel company Expedia says continent-hopping by Swift’s devotees is part of a larger trend it dubbed “tour tourism” while observing a pattern that emerged during Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” world tour .

Some North American fans who plan to fly overseas for the Eras Tour said they justified the expense after noticing that tighter restrictions on ticket fees and resales in Europe made seeing Swift perform abroad no more costly — and potentially cheaper — than catching her closer to home.

“They said, ’Wait a minute, I can either spend $1,500 to go see my favorite artist in Miami, or I can take that $1,500 and buy a concert ticket, a round-trip plane ticket, and three nights in a hotel room,” Melanie Fish, an Expedia spokesperson and travel expert, said.

That was the experience of Jennifer Warren, 43, who lives in St. Catharines, a city in the Niagara region of Ontario. She and her 11-year-old son love Swift but had no luck scoring what she considered as decently priced tickets in the US. Undeterred, Warren and her husband decided to plan a European vacation around wherever she managed to get seats. It turned out to be Hamburg, Germany.

“You get out, you get to see the world, and you get to see your favorite artist or performer at the same time, so there are a lot of wins to it,” said Warren, who works as the director of research and innovation for a mutual insurance company.

The three VIP tickets she secured close to the stage — “I would call it brute-force dumb luck” — cost 600 euros ($646) each. Swift subsequently announced six November tour dates in Toronto, within driving distance of Warren’s home. “Absolute nose-bleed seats” already are going for 3,000 Canadian dollars ($2,194) on secondary resale sites like Viagogo, Warren said.

Tour tourism: Is it really a thing?

Hard-core fans trailing their favorite singer or band on tour is not a new phenomenon. “Groupie” emerged in the late 1960s as a somewhat derogatory word for the ardent followers of rock bands. Deadheads took to the road in the 1970s to pursue the Grateful Dead from city to city.

More recently, music festivals like California’s Coachella and England’s Glastonbury, and concert residencies in Las Vegas by the likes of Elton John, Lady Gaga and Adele, have attracted travelers to places they wouldn’t otherwise visit, Fish noted.

Travel and entertainment analysts have also spoken of a pent-up consumer demand for “experiences” over material objects since the coronavirus pandemic. Some think the willingness of music lovers to broaden their fandom horizons is part of the same mass cultural correction.

“It does seem like it’s more than a structural shift, maybe a personality transformation we all went through,” said Natalia Lechmanova, the chief Europe economist for the Mastercard Economics Institute.

As Swift hopscotches across Europe, Lechmanova expects restaurants and hotels to see the same boost that Mastercard observed within a 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) radius of concert venues in the US cities she visited in 2023. The US dollar’s strong value against the euro may also increase retail spending on apparel, memorabilia, beauty products and supplies for the friendship bracelets fans exchange as part of the Eras Tour experience, the economist said.

Former college roommates Lizzy Hale, 34, who lives in Los Angeles, and Mitch Goulding, 33, who lives in Austin, Texas, already had tickets to see the Eras Tour in LA last summer when they decided to try to get ones for Paris, London or Edinburgh, Scotland, too. They saw a Europe concert trip as a makeup for travel plans they had in May 2020 to celebrate Goulding’s birthday but had to cancel due to the pandemic.

Goulding managed to secure VIP tickets for one of Swift’s three Stockholm shows. He, Hale and two other friends scheduled a 10-day trip that also includes time in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

“As people who enjoy traveling and enjoy music, if you can find an opportunity to combine the two, it’s really special,” said Hale, who is pregnant with her first child.

For Stockholm, 120,000 Swifties can’t be wrong

The local economic impact of what the zeitgeist has termed “Swiftonomics” and the “Swift lift” can be considerable. It’s no wonder the exclusive arrangement Singapore’s government made with Swift to make the city-state her only tour stop in Southeast Asia earlier this year aroused regional jealousy.

No European governments have complained of their countries not being among the dozen selected for the Europe leg of the Eras Tour, although some fans have expressed surprise that Gelsenkirchen, a city with a population of about 264,000 is one of the three cities in Germany that made the cut.

Airbnb reported Tuesday that searches on its platform for the U.K. cities where Swift is performing in June and August — Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London — increased an average of 337% when tickets went on sale last summer.

Not to be outdone when it comes to trend-spotting, the property rentals company cited the demand as an example of “passion tourism,” or travel “driven by concerts, sports and other cultural events.”

In Stockholm, 120,000 out-of-towners from 130 countries — among them 10,000 from the US — are expected to swarm Sweden’s capital this month, Stockholm Chamber of Commerce Chief Economist Carl Bergqvist said. Stockholm is the only Scandinavian city on Swift’s tour, and airlines added extra flights from nearby Denmark, Finland and Norway to bring people to the May 17-19 shows, he said.

The city’s 40,000 hotel rooms are sold out even though prices skyrocketed for the tour dates, Bergqvist said. Concert visitors are expected to pump around 500 million Swedish kroner, or over $46 million, into the local economy over the course of their stays, an estimate that does not include what they paid for Swift tickets or to get to Sweden, he said.

“So this is going to be huge for the tourism sector in Sweden and Stockholm in particular,” Bergqvist said.

Nightclubs, restaurants and bars are seizing the opportunity to cater to fans with Taylor Swift-themed events, such as karaoke, quizzes and after-concert dance parties.

Houston resident Caroline Matlock, 29, saw Swift more than a year ago when the Eras Tour came to the Texas city. Now she’s making more friendship bracelets and trying to learn a few words of Swedish as she prepares to see the 3 1/2-hour show in Stockholm. The idea of seeing Swift in Europe was her friend’s, and Matlock needed some persuading at first.

“I was like, ‘I only want to go if it’s a country I haven’t been to. I’ve seen Taylor Swift,’” she said.

Visiting the Scandinavian cities of Oslo and Gothenburg is on their itinerary. The concert is the last night of the trip and Matlock looks forward to interacting with Swifties from other countries: “Americans tend to have a very obsessive culture, especially Taylor Swift-related, so I’m curious if the crowd will be more toned-down.”

Will tour tourism endure after Eras?

It remains to be seen if the music tourism trend has legs as long and strong as Swift’s and Beyoncé’s, and if it will carry over to Billie Eilish, Usher and other artists with world tours scheduled next year. Expedia’s Fish thinks other big-name artists in Europe this summer will prove that booking a foreign trip around a concert is catching on.

Kat Morga, a travel consultant based in Nashville, isn’t so sure. Morga saw Swift perform in Nashville last year and helped two clients with school-aged children book European family vacations this summer that include seeing Swift in concert. But she thinks the difficulty of navigating ticket purchases through language barriers, currency conversions, international banking regulations and the risk of cancellations will limit the appeal of regular gig getaways.

“I think this is an anomaly,” Morga said. “People aren’t typically going to build their $20,000 huge family vacation only because Taylor Swift is there. She’s the one-off. She’s special.”

Booking Holdings CEO Glenn Fogel, whose company operates Booking.com, priceline.com, agoda.com, Kayak and OpenTable, is even less enthusiastic about concert tours as a tourism instigator. The Swift Effect causes a “little blip” when the superstar goes to smaller destinations, but for the worldwide travel industry, “one star touring around does not make a difference,” he said.

“It may just shift it a little bit. A person was going to go to the Caribbean for a week vacation. Instead that person (says), ‘Let’s travel to the Taylor Swift thing,’” Fogel said. “It doesn’t increase it. It just moves it from here to there.”
