Comprehensive U.S. Tour Expansion
The second American leg kicks off in October with three sold-out nights in Miami at the Kaseya Center, followed by performances in Orlando, Raleigh, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Long Island. The tour continues with stops in New Orleans, Tulsa, Austin, and Phoenix before reaching its conclusion in San Francisco.
Eilish announced the expansion on social media with characteristic enthusiasm, writing “Heard you wanted more shows. HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR. PART 2!!!!!!!!!” The extension responds to overwhelming demand from fans who were unable to secure tickets for the initial tour dates, which sold out rapidly across multiple markets.
Ticket Sales and Anti-Scalping Measures
Tickets for the new U.S. dates went on sale Tuesday, May 20 at noon local time for American Express cardholders, with general public sales beginning Thursday, May 22 at noon local time. The singer continues to use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange system to combat scalping and ensure fair access for genuine fans.
All tickets remain mobile-only and non-transferable, except in New York where state law requires transferability. Fans who cannot attend shows have the option to resell tickets at face value through the official exchange, maintaining the original purchase price to prevent price gouging by scalpers, according to Yahoo News.
Album Success and Tour Impact
The tour supports Eilish’s third studio album “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” which was released in May 2024 without any preceding singles but generated chart-topping hits including “Lunch,” “Birds of a Feather,” and “Chihiro.” The album has been praised as both her coming-of-age and coming-out record, showcasing emotional and musical evolution.
“Birds of a Feather” has become a particular standout, becoming the most streamed song on Spotify by a female artist in the last decade with over 2.5 billion streams. The track holds the record as the fastest song in history to achieve this milestone and represents the longest charting solo song by a female artist in Billboard Pop Airplay chart history.
Environmental and Social Initiatives
The expanded tour continues Eilish’s partnership with environmental nonprofit Reverb, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas pollution and decreasing single-use plastic waste. Each show features Billie Eilish Reverb Eco-Villages where fans can participate in sustainability efforts and learn about climate action.
One dollar from each ticket sold is donated to Reverb, while 50% of special Changemaker ticket prices support both the Reverb Climate Impact Fund and Support+Feed, an organization promoting plant-based food options. The tour has also updated concession offerings to encourage environmentally conscious food choices, according to Yahoo News.

Sold-Out Shows Break Arena Records Worldwide
The tour has received rave reviews from critics who praise Eilish’s ability to bring intimacy to arena settings while delivering spectacular production values. The shows feature multiple costume changes, elaborate staging, and Eilish performing on various instruments including piano, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar.
In Sydney, the tour broke a long-standing attendance record at Qudos Bank Arena, with 21,001 attendees surpassing Justin Timberlake’s previous record of 20,839 set in 2007. The achievement demonstrates Eilish’s incredible draw as a live performer and her ability to connect with audiences across diverse markets and venues worldwide.
