Billie Eilish is bringing her Hit Me Hard and Soft world tour to Japan this August, with two highly anticipated performances at the Saitama Super Arena. These will be her only headline shows in the country, and fans can expect a full-scale arena experience packed with emotion, artistry, and energy.
The Hit Me Hard and Soft tour began in late 2024, and has already taken Billie across North America, Australia, and Europe. With over 100 dates scheduled, it has become one of the most talked-about tours of the year. Each performance blends intimate storytelling with large-scale visuals, creating a unique atmosphere that feels personal even in a packed stadium.
The set list showcases from her latest album, including standout tracks like "Lunch," "Chihiro," and "Birds of a Feather," while also featuring fan favorites like "Bad Guy" and "Happier Than Ever." Other legs of the tour have also featured fun covers of classics from other artists, such as "Michelle" from The Beatles and "The Only Exception" from Paramore, so fans heading to the Japan shows can look forward to the possibility of a few surprises mixed in. With Billie known for tailoring her performances to each audience, there's a good chance this leg will include some unique moments or rare tracks not heard elsewhere on the tour.
While the show for August 16th is sold out, tickets are still available for August 17th at the time of writing. Please visit the official tour website for more information.
