Billie Eilish unveils Young Miko, Tom Odell as star lineup tour openers for ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ run

Multi grammy-winner superstar Billie Eilish has announced an exciting lineup of opening acts for the second North American leg of her record-breaking Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour. Kicking off October 9 and concluding November 23 at San Francisco’s Chase Center, this leg features a diverse roster: British singer-songwriter Tom Odell, Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko, indie band Men I Trust, and critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus.

The ongoing Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour has already solidified its place as one of the most successful tours of Eilish’s career. Since launching in September 2024 in support of her acclaimed third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft, the tour has shattered arena attendance records worldwide. Notably, in February 2025, Eilish broke Justin Timberlake’s 18-year attendance record at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena with over 21,000 fans in a single night. Later, she surpassed Metallica’s record at Prague’s O2 Arena, drawing more than 20,000 attendees.

Beyond the impressive numbers, the tour emphasizes environmental responsibility. Partnering with sustainability organization Reverb, Eilish has implemented Eco Villages at venues, such as London’s O2 Arena, allowing fans to engage with climate action initiatives. Venues have also been encouraged to adopt plant-based catering during shows, reflecting Eilish’s deep commitment to environmental causes.


Billie’s album, released in May 2024, has been a commercial and critical triumph. Co-written and produced with her brother Finneas, Hit Me Hard and Soft topped charts in over 20 countries and debuted at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200, with all ten tracks entering the Billboard Hot 100. “Birds of a Feather” emerged as the album’s biggest hit, peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100. The album also garnered seven Grammy nominations at the 67th Annual Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.

This tour not only showcases Billie’s artistic evolution but also highlights her dedication to blending music with meaningful activism, offering fans a truly engaging and memorable live experience enhanced by a stellar lineup of openers.
