Get ready to bury a friend or two with excitement, folks. Gothic-pop sensation Billie Eilish is embarking on "Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour," to debut her latest groovy tunes. Mark your calendars for when she sweeps through Inglewood this December because she’s about to turn the Kia Forum into her very own bad guy lair for a thrilling three-night stand.

The much-awaited tour comes alongside the release of Eilish's third album, "Hit Me Hard and Soft," which will see the light of day on May 17, according to KTLA. Canadian fans will get the first look when Eilish kicks things off on Sept. 29 in Quebec. Fans in the Southern California area can snatch their tickets during the American Express presale starting April 30 or wait out for general admission on May 3. If checking your watch and local listings is your thing, you better do it because on-sale times will vary by market.

But it's not all about the haunting melodies and the neon-green hair; Eilish is also waving the flag for sustainability louder than anyone. She's teaming up with nonprofit REVERB to install eco-villages at the main concourse of every show, as noted in a press release obtained by KTLA. These aren’t your typical concert stalls. Here, fans will get to lend their hands to sustainability efforts, learn from nonprofits, and turn their concert glow into a green one.

On top of that, a part of the North American ticket sales proceeds will go to REVERB’s extensive work combating food insecurity and the climate crisis, per the same source. Because when Billie asks, “What Was I Made For?” the response is more than creating haunting tunes—it's about feeding both souls and bellies. And if you’re planning to rock out sustainably, she urges fans to fight against fast fashion by going for thrifted, upcycled, or borrowed outfits.

Oh, and lest we forget, there’s also a side dish of plant-based food options at each venue working in cahoots with Support+Feed, because why not? And for those hydration levels, just bring an empty reusable water bottle or pony up a donation for a custom RockNRefill Nalgene bottle on site. Water refill stations? You bet they’ll be there, crystal clear and as free-flowing as Eilish's hauntingly silky vocals. For further details, you can creep on over to Eilish's Instagram post or visit her official website. Grab your tickets, toss on an upcycled beanie, and remember – when it comes to making the world a bit better, we should all be as cool as the girl singing 'Ocean Eyes'.
