We’re Happier Than Ever ‘Cos Billie Eilish Just Announced a 2022 Aussie Tour

Tickets go on sale 15 October.

With Australia on track to reach an 80 per cent double dose vaccination rate by the end of the year, heaps of huge musical acts have started announcing their plans to come back down under in 2022, including Tame Impala, Lorde, The Kid LAROI, and My Chemical Romance.

The newest name on this list is none other than seven-time Grammy award winner and global pop sensation Billie Eilish.

We’re screaming rn.

That’s right, Billie has officially announced an Australian and New Zealand arena tour for her latest album Happier Than Ever for September 2022.

It’s the first time the edgy young artist has performed in Oz since her tour in 2019, and while those dates sold out big time, this latest tour is expected to be on a whole other level.

The Happier Than Ever tour dates in North America, the UK, and Europe sold out immediately in May of this year, and the Aussie tour is anticipated to be the hottest shows in 2022.

“It’s just gonna be crazy. It’s gonna be jumping and screaming and getting low... It’s gonna be so much fun. I cannot wait,” she told triple j in August.

2021 and the release of Happier Than Ever have been insane for the young artist. Her single “Your Power” debuted at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, accruing more than 150 million streams in the first two weeks of release.

In March, she took home two Grammy’s: Record of the Year for “Everything I Wanted” and Best Song Written For Visual Media for her James Bond theme “No Time To Die”.

Then in July of this year, Happier Than Ever debuted at #1 on Album Charts worldwide.

“[Happier Than Ever]… fully establishes Eilish as one of her generation’s most significant pop artists”, wrote NME in their 5-star review.

So, where and when can I buy tickets?

Because likely none of us need any convincing to buy tickets to this gig, I’ll get straight to the point.
