The tour will continue in Australia starting February 2025 ahead of her European, UK, and Ireland arena dates from April through late July.

Eilish’s forthcoming album was written by Eilish and brother and longtime collaborator Finneas, who also produced the album. The project will be available on all digital platforms, and in a variety of limited edition physical formats in a continued effort to minimize waste and combat climate change.
