Billie Eilish is set to bring her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour back to the United States next month, and she is bringing a few special guests along for the ride. Lucy Dacus and Young Miko will be joining her for select shows, with Tom Odell and Men I Trust also appearing at certain dates.
Dacus will take the stage in Phoenix on Nov. 18 and 19, and she will also join Eilish in San Francisco on Nov. 22 and 23. Young Miko, meanwhile, is scheduled for a longer stretch of the run. The Puerto Rican artist will perform in several cities, including Orlando, Philadelphia, and Long Island, from Oct. 14 through Oct. 26. Men I Trust will appear on the Tulsa and Austin dates in November, while Tom Odell will perform as the opener during Eilish’s three-show run in Miami beginning Oct. 9.
This marks Eilish’s return to North America after completing 36 shows on the first leg of the tour last fall. She went on to perform across Australia and Europe earlier this year. That round of shows featured openers such as Towa Bird, Nat & Alex Wolff, the Marías, and Ashnikko.
“Heard you wanted more shows,” Eilish wrote in her Instagram announcement. “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR. PART 2!!!!!!!!!” These newly added dates will be her final performances of the year.
Eilish is once again working with Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange for ticket sales. The system blocks most resale markups, though New York is the one state where exceptions apply. Fans will be able to buy or resell tickets at the original purchase price, and Eilish will donate one dollar from each ticket sold to Reverb, the nonprofit that supports efforts to fight food insecurity and address climate change.
In a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, Eilish explained, “I have never had an interest in being a role model, ever. 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.”
Hit Me Hard and Soft was released in May 2024 and features tracks like “Wildflower,” “Birds of a Feather,” and “Chihiro.” Reflecting on the project, Eilish said, “This album, to me, feels like a way to restart, in terms of my sharing.”
