5 “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” European Dates You Shouldn’t Miss
Looking through the timeline of Billie Eilish’s career, we see that Europe has always been on her good side when it comes to receiving adequate gigs during her tours. But that is only because she has a massive fan base in Europe that is capable of pushing her singles and albums up the charts whenever she drops them. She recently released the “Hit Me Hard and Soft” album, and guess what? Her fans did it again. It topped the charts of major countries in Europe – hence why we get to enjoy the last show of her tour in Europe.
Czech Republic
Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft” album remains on the No.1 spot of Czech Albums (ČNS IFPI), with no sign of being overtaken anytime soon. But how would it? When Billie’s fans there enjoy the track listings so much, they decide to master each song on the album to ensure they become lyrically prepared for the concert ahead.
The “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” is set to be in the Czech Republic on the 1st of June. The concert will be held in Prague, where the O2 Arena is located, with a concert capacity of 20k people. This reminds us of the last time Billie Eilish was in Czech, that is in 2019, during the “When We All Fall Asleep Tour.”
Her concert back then was held in the same venue as it’ll be held in 2025, so the only difference that we’ll be taking note of this time is the change in the setlist and the possible appearance of support acts from the Czech Republic.
Poland
Unlike the Czech Republic, the countdown to Billie Eilish’s concert in Poland is different in the sense that the singer has never taken any of her live performances to Poland before, until now, in the “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour.”
You can imagine the excitement in the city of Kraków, as the date draws near. Even though it might look like there’s still a lot of time between now and the 3rd and 4th of June when the concerts in the city are scheduled, the rate at which these months shrink causes one to always make hay while the sun shines, and even when it isn’t shining – not to be caught off-guard.
The Kraków will be held at the city’s Tauron Arena, which has a concert capacity of 22k people. Unrelated, but check and see that most of the venues Billie is set to perform in amidst the “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” in Europe have a concert capacity of 20k+, and she’s currently 22 years old. Could this have been carefully planned to carry a specific message? Guess we’ll find out soon.
Austria
The “Hit Me Hard and Soft” album maintains its No.1 spot also in Austrian Albums (Ö3 Austria), even after months of being released. Billie was in Austria in 2019, during the “When We All Fall Asleep Tour” and hasn’t been there since then.
Going back to Austria in 2025 will be a reconnection between her and a fan base that has remained loyal all through the years that she has toured other places. One of the few ways to denote if you have an active fan base is from the ratings your recordings receive, and the fans in Austria haven’t slacked a bit in supporting Billie Eilish’s career.
The concert will be held in the Austrian city of Vienna, where the Wiener Stadthalle, with a 20k concert capacity, is located – on the 6th of June, 2025. Best mark the date and don’t skip.
Italy
Shortly after her concert in Austria, Billie Eilish will be in Italy, to entertain her fans in Bologna, where the Unipol Arena is located, which has a concert capacity of 20k people. The concert is scheduled for the 8th of June, 2025 – a single day with the goddess of music.
We looked back at Billie Eilish’s history with Italy, and we discovered that the two go a long way together. She visited the country in 2019, during her “When We All Fall Asleep Tour,” and also during her “Where Do We Go? World Tour” in 2020.
Billie Eilish’s fans in Italy have also been active in engaging her music. Her latest album for instance made it to the No.2 spot of the Italian Albums (FIMI), even though it isn’t an Italian album. But the people understand and love it well enough to give it a fighting chance on the charts, and it isn’t disappointing.
France
Finally, the city of love, where Billie’s concert is bound to be more of a romantic encounter for many attendees. The “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” is scheduled in France on the 10th and 11th of June, 2025, and the concert will be held in the Accor Arena, which has a concert capacity of 20k people and is located in Paris.
Billie was in France in 2020, and also in 2022 during the “Happier Than Ever, The World Tour,” which ended in 2023. Her fans are still actively engaging her recordings to ensure she remains relevant in their nation – they placed the “Hit Me Hard and Soft” album on the No.1 spot when it was released, and it still is maintaining the position for now.
Some of the places that Billie will be visiting in Europe by 2025 for the “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” are places she has never visited before, while some are places that have been long since her last visit. So, the concert grounds will be funnier due to the reconnection. Don’t miss it.
