Billie Eilish is giving fans the chance to attend the ‘HIT ME HARD AND SOFT – A Listening Event Presented by Apple Music’ in cinemas.
On May 16 and 17, those who cannot attend the Los Angeles and New York listening parties will be able to head to AMC Theatres in North America for the preview.
The ‘What Was I Made For?’ hitmaker shared on her Instagram Story: “[Something] special for those of u who can’t make it to la or ny (sic).”
Tickets will cost just $5, including a donation to AMC Cares Charitable Fund.
The pair of US listening parties are taking place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and LA’s Kia Forum on May 15 and 16, respectively. The free events swiftly reached capacity.
‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ lands on May 17, and the 22-year-old Grammy winner is also embarking on a tour in support of the LP, which will run from September 2024 to July 2025.
The ‘Ocean Eyes’ singer will commence the run in North America and Canada, before heading to Australia in February the following year, and will eventually make her way over to Europe, where she will wrap the run in Dublin, Ireland.
Billie first revealed the tracklist for her highly anticipated LP earlier this month, with the 10-track LP including the tracks ‘Skinny’, ‘Lunch’, ‘The Diner’, ‘Birds of a Feather’, ‘Chihiro’ and ‘The Greatest’, among others.
Billie previously spoke about how she and her brother Finneas O’Connell wrote the songs “without much thought of other people”.
Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she said: “Every time you put anything out, it feels like your n**** leaked a little bit.
“I think this one specifically is like that. Something that Finneas and I said to a couple of people when we started to play it for people is we kind of made the album that if somebody had said, ‘I want you to make an album, and no one is going to hear it. You don’t have to worry about anyone’s ears or opinions or anything at all. It’s in your contract to make an album but no one can hear it.’
“We pretty much made that album. We made that album without much thought of other people.”
