Austin, Texas
Billie Eilish has announced an extension of her “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour, adding new performances in Texas, further increasing the total number of shows to 106. The extended leg of the tour features 23 new dates, including stops in Japan and a second U.S. leg, with Eilish set to perform at the Moody Center in Austin on November 13 and 14. These shows will be the only Texas performances during this leg of the tour.
The ongoing tour, which is promoting Eilish’s third studio album “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” started in Quebec, Canada, in September 2024. Eilish is currently in the middle of the European leg of her tour, recently headlining six sold-out nights at The O2 in London. Additionally, the tour has witnessed multiple night stops in major cities, with five sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and three performances at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Presale tickets for the new Texas performances will be available to American Express Card Members starting at noon on May 20. General ticket sales will open to the public on May 22 at noon, with tickets purchasable through Eilish’s official website. To combat ticket scalping, Eilish is implementing Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange, allowing fans to buy tickets at face value. Tickets are nontransferable, and any listings above the original purchase price may result in cancellations. However, in New York, where resale laws differ, tickets will be transferable.

The tour has been well-received by audiences and critics alike, bolstering Eilish’s standing as one of the preeminent figures in contemporary music. Over the course of her career, she has received numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards, nine Grammy Awards, and two Golden Globes. Notably, Eilish is the second artist in Grammy history to win all four general field categories in the same year and the first person born in the 21st century to earn an Academy Award.
The expansion of Eilish’s tour marks an exciting development for fans, particularly in Texas, as concertgoers eagerly await their chance to secure tickets for her only Texas shows. With the music industry continually evolving, Eilish’s efforts to promote fair access to tickets further highlight her commitment to her fans. As the tour progresses toward its conclusion on November 23 at the Chase Center in San Francisco, anticipation continues to build among fans nationwide.
