Billie Eilish takes a bow for the North American leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour this December in Los Angeles. Below, read everything you need to know about attending the shows.
In support of her 2024 LP Hit Me Hard and Soft, Billie Eilish will perform at the Kia Forum in Inglewood for five highly anticipated nights. The show starts at 7 p.m. with the venue’s terrace opening at 5 p.m. On Dec. 15, The Marías will open, while Towa Bird will warm up the stage on Dec. 16 and Nat & Alex Wolff on Dec. 17. Then, on Dec. 20, music will kick off with Ashnikko, while her brother, Finneas, will open on Dec. 21.
The Kia Forum is a cashless venue with a clear bag policy. Concertgoers can carry their belongings in a clear bag sized up to 12” x 6” or non-clear wristlets/clutches that are sized up to 9” x 6.” You can also bring a gallon-sized plastic bag.
Before leaving home, download your tickets to your digital wallet for easy entry. Then, make your commute plan. If you drive, you can buy a parking pass now. You can also arrive a little early to search for a spot at nearby, but offsite surface lots. Additionally, if you opt for the L.A. Metro Bus Lines, take the 211/215 to the Prairie/Manchester or Prairie/Kelso stops. You can also opt for the complimentary park-and-ride shuttle service, which will have stops at Union Station, Pierce College and Harbor Gateway Transit Center. Just be sure to make a reservation in advance. Alternatively, if you take a rideshare service like Uber, map your drive to the dedicated ride-share pick-up/drop-off lot located at lot H.
When the Forum’s terrace opens at 5 p.m., you’ll be set to drink and snack on popcorn, hot dogs, tacos and other standard arena concessions. On the other hand, you can also plan to eat at a nearby place if you prefer a standard restaurant experience. Check out Dulan’s, 1010 Wine & Events or Cork & Batter for your pre-concert meal. See our full list of nearby recommended restaurants.
Not only do Eilish’s Kia Forum shows mark the end of the tour leg, but the Los Angeles run is also a homecoming for the Highland Park Native. Additionally, Eilish turns 23 on Dec. 18—right in the middle of the L.A. concerts—so the performances will undoubtedly be one big party. She usually hits the stage around 8:30 p.m. for the 22-song setlist. The lineup has been known to change around, with Eilish throwing in the occasional cover, but you can expect plenty of your favorites from the new album and her biggest hits. Get ready to dance along to “Chihiro,” “Lunch, “Bad Guy” and more.
The Kia Forum is located at 3900 W Manchester Blvd 90305.
