Background

On May 21, 2021, the tour was announced through a YouTube video posted to her official page. In the short clip, the artist sits alone in the auditorium, while at the end of the visual, the camera points to Eilish's official website. [3] Subsequently, Eilish posted further announcements through other social media pages such as Twitter. [4] The tour used Ticketmaster's Verified fan program in North America. [5] It initially consisted of 50 dates (32 in North America and 18 in Europe). [5] [6] Tickets sold out quickly, leading to the addition of more dates. [7] A third and fourth leg, with locations in Oceania and Latin America, respectively, were also added to the tour. [8] [9]

Eilish worked with Apple Music to exclusively host a film of one of the concerts, specifically one of her shows at the O2 Arena in London. She billed the film as a way for fans who missed out on tickets to experience the tour for themselves, wanting more people to recognize her for her showmanship live. [10] [11] [12] Eilish previewed the film by sharing performances of two tracks from the album—"Therefore I Am" and "I Didn't Change My Number"—through her YouTube account. [13] An extended cut of the film was also released in limited cinemas worldwide on January 27, 2023. [14]

Concert synopsis

The show begins with strobing lights, white backdrops, whilst Eilish is catapulted from under the stage to perform "Bury a Friend", accompanied by a drummer, Andrew Marshall, and her brother, Finneas, on guitar. [15] [16] It is followed by the "slinkier" and "hard-hitting" track "I Didn't Change My Number". [17] [18] Next, she sings "NDA", while the stage projects a street and the monitors display cars swerving, later transitioning to "Therefore I Am", when the screens turn red. [15] The singer proceeds with a "hypnotic" shortened rendition of "My Strange Addiction" [19] and a "downshifted" and shortened version of "Idontwannabeyouanymore" before transitioning to "Lovely". [16] During the shortened "You Should See Me in a Crown" performance, Eilish instructs her fans to stay still "like Squid Game " and scream as loud as they possibly can. [17]

The "Billie Bossa Nova" performance is "turned into a libidinous rager" with backdrops projecting faceless, scantily clad dancing bodies. [18] According to The New York Times ' Lindsay Zoladz, the performance of "Goldwing" is a "kinetic call-and-response number", where she asks fans to sing, and then she asks fans to sing from their lowest voice possible to their loudest voice possible. [18] Later, she follows with the "quieter" song "Halley's Comet" on select shows. [19] On select shows, Eilish performs "No Time To Die (song)" Next, Eilish performs "Oxytocin", which also includes a fragment of "Copycat". The artist additionally asks fans to get as low as possible, so all of them can jump at once. [15] [17]

The tour's acoustic interlude. Eilish first performed the two tracks from her second extended play, Guitar Songs, during this section. BillieEilishO2160622 (43 of 45) (52152970696) (cropped).jpg
The tour's acoustic interlude. Eilish first performed the two tracks from her second extended play, Guitar Songs , during this section.

To begin the tour's acoustic interlude, Finneas joins Eilish on stage so they can perform "Your Power" with guitars. [19] In select concerts, starting with the first night at Manchester on June 7, the two debut the song "TV". Alongside "The 30th", it is part of Eilish's two-track extended play Guitar Songs , released in July 2022. [20] [21] She and Finneas performed "The 30th" in place of "TV" for the first time in the tour's Manila concert; Eilish remarked that "The 30th" was hard to sing for her due to its personal lyrics. [22] [23] When they do not perform "TV" or "The 30th", Finneas returns to the keyboard, leaving Eilish at center stage to sing "Male Fantasy" by herself. [16] [17] On select shows, such as the entire Australian leg, she and Finneas perform "I Love You" to start the acoustic section, mashing it up with "Your Power".

It is followed by the "Not My Responsibility" interlude, after which she segues into "Overheated", during which she is on the crane, which is featured in all shows in Australia, all shows in Europe except Pilton, and all shows in North America. [16] After that, the singer asks the fans to do a Mexican wave with their phones in select shows, such as the entire Australian leg, then performs a mashup of "Bellyache", "Ocean Eyes", and "Bored". [17] On the shows where she gets off the crane, she goes back to the stage, touching fans' hands as she passes by them. Upon returning back to the stage, she performs "Getting Older" on select shows, with home videos of the singer and her family being shown on the backdrops. [15] [17] On select shows, such as the entire Australian leg, "Getting Older" is shortened. She then performs "Lost Cause" during select shows, before she has a talk with the audience, and asks fans to hug the person next to them, and give that person a hug. She follows the talk with a performance of "When the Party's Over". For "All the Good Girls Go to Hell," the screens present the effects of climate change, [19] such as polar bears on melting ice caps, pollution, oil spills, and wildfires. The visuals turn from flames to completely red during the song's chorus. [15]

Eilish starts an encore with "Everything I Wanted", which is called "relatively breezy" by Keith Spera of The New Orleans Advocate . [16] Before she starts, singing, she asks fans to give the people next to them a hug. She follows it with a performance of "Bad Guy", which sees her jumping around the stage, and confetti shooting up from the ceiling. [15] "Happier Than Ever" is the concluding song of the show, where Finneas plays the electric guitar, [16] and Eilish headbangs during the second half of the song. "Goodbye" plays in the background as the show's outro, where she touches fans' hands. [17]
