Billie Eilish Adds More Dates to ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ Tour: New Orleans Gets Two Nights!
Billie Eilish is showing no signs of slowing down! Fresh off the release of her critically acclaimed album, 'Hit Me Hard and Soft,' the pop sensation has announced a second leg to her already massive tour, and fans in New Orleans are in for a treat. Eilish will be bringing her electrifying show to the Smoothie King Center for two nights, November 7th and 8th, 2025.
This announcement follows the initial wave of tour dates, with Eilish adding shows across the U.S. and even a couple in Tokyo. "Heard you wanted more shows," Eilish playfully wrote on Instagram, fueling the excitement surrounding the tour extension. The 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour promises a deep dive into Eilish's latest album, which has been described as both a coming-of-age and a coming-out experience, packed with emotional and musical twists.
New Orleans holds a special place in Eilish's touring history. She first graced the city with her presence on February 3, 2022, during her 'Happier Than Ever' tour, playing to a sold-out crowd. The energy and enthusiasm of the New Orleans fans clearly left a lasting impression, prompting her return for two nights of her new tour. The provided photo by Matty Vogel captures the energy of that first show.
Tickets for the new U.S. dates will be available through an American Express resale, starting on Tuesday, May 20th, at 12 p.m. local time. The general public can snag their tickets starting at 12 p.m. on Thursday, May 22nd, via www.billieeilish.com.
Eilish is also prioritizing ethical ticketing practices. She's partnering with Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange program to combat ticket scalping. Additionally, $1 from each ticket sold will be donated to Reverb, an organization dedicated to supporting food security and tackling climate change.
While the opening acts for the fall shows are yet to be announced, Eilish's 2024 tour featured a diverse lineup of supporting artists, including Towa Bird, Nat & Alex Wolff, the Marías, and Ashnikko. Fans can anticipate a similarly exciting selection for the upcoming shows.
'Hit Me Hard and Soft' has already spawned chart-topping hits like "Lunch," "Birds of a Feather," and "Chihiro." Don't miss your chance to experience these tracks live and witness Billie Eilish's captivating stage presence in New Orleans!
