Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour – Everything you to know

22 years old Billie Eilish announced her plans to embark on her seventh career tour, Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, on the 29^th of April 2024, following the release of her 3^rd studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft – which was released on the 17^th of May 2024.

Billie Eilish has headlined six tours since she rose to fame in 2015. Her first career tour, the Don’t Smile at Me Tour headlined in 2017 became one of the most talked about, especially for the fact that it was headlined by a 16-year-old.

Billie did not overreach with her first tour, she planned just 11 shows for that tour, and all were in North America. And although that was a little under the bar, and a very long time ago, it served as part of the building blocks to the confidence she now has to organise a much bigger tour.

From the schedule recently made public by Billie’s touring team, most of the venues where the concerts will be held are indoor arenas, which are usually fun for concerts at this time of the year.

What you can bring to Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour

Concerts held in indoor arenas are a little bit different from the ones held in outdoor venues. The two can’t be compared to an extent, especially when it comes to extra entertaining activities. One thing they both have in common, however, is that there are certain items you can bring to the concert, which can guarantee that you have a good time there. Those are what we’ll be discussing here.

Phone and portable charger

Many times, on concert grounds, we’ve come across attendees left devastated by a single error in decision-making, which is not to bring along a charger to the concert. We often underestimate the duration of queuing, and exaggerate the capacity of our phone’s batteries. And we pay the price dearly. This is why we advise that you don’t forget to bring along a portable phone charger. This will serve as plan B, should your device not last long enough for you to capture some memories.

Ear protection

Concert grounds are lawless grounds when it comes to how loud the music can be, and this is one thing that makes them fun. However, too much of everything is bad, and your eardrum might not be capable of withstanding the loudness of the music, especially in an indoor arena with soundproofing, and also if it is your first time in one. So, do well to bring along a set of earplugs for your convenience when the music gets too loud.

Water bottle

It’s summer, and we’re bound to get hot. It’s scientifically proven that we consume lots of water this time of the year. Considering the dancing and jumping and singing you’re bound to engage in while at the Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, you’re better off bringing a water bottle for your convenience.

Small Bag or Backpack

You’ll need something to carry all your stuff, but there’s a rule to this which might make you lose your bag without playing by it. Thankfully, you’ve read this article, and you now know that your bag or backpack shouldn’t be bigger than an A4 paper size.

Not a necessity, if you don’t want to stand out. But if you do, make sure to rock some Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour tops. You can get those even at the concert grounds.

What you can’t bring to Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour

As with things you can bring to the concert ground, there are also items you can’t bring to the concert ground. Let’s check them out as well.

Professional cameras and equipment

Unless you’re officially granted a pass to do so, you’re better off sticking to your phone’s camera, or small digital camera. Anything above that will not be allowed into the concert.

Weapons and sharp objects

You already know the deal with weapons and sharp objects. Even if some concert rules can be bent for your sake, this is one you should adhere to.

Umbrellas and strollers

Aside from the fact that you’re probably going to be in an indoor arena, umbrellas and strollers can obstruct other concert attendees, and also serve as accidents-causing objects. Don’t bring anything big enough to obstruct other attendees.

Accessibility cheats at Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour

One thing all modern indoor arenas have in common is that their accessibility is top-notch. But you need to be familiar with the venue before the concert. The way to do this is to try and visit the arena a day before the concert. This will allow you to know how to locate key areas during the concert, and even the arena itself. Alternatively, you can visit the website of each venue (for those that have one) to get additional information about it before your concert date.

The best time to be at Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour

From experience, bin the original start time and attend the concert as early as you can. It’s better to wait at the venue than at home. This will give you some head start when accessing begins. An advantage over someone who’s coming after you.
