Good news, Eilish fans — the American singer is bringing her Hit Me Hard And Soft tour to Australia in February and March 2025. Eilish is playing a massive 12 dates across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
The Grammy and Academy Award winner will start out in Brisbane, playing the Entertainment Centre from February 18, 2025 to February 22. She will then head to Sydney, playing Qudos Bank Arena from February 24 to 28. Her final stop will be Melbourne, where she will take over Rod Laver Arena from March 4 to 8.
How to get tickets to Billie Eilish's Australian tour
Presale tickets for all dates of the Australian leg of Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard And Soft tour will be available for AMEX holders on May 1, 2024 from 12pm, with Frontier Touring, Live Nation and Vodafone offering presales on May 2 from 12pm. All presale tickets will be staggered by city, and you can find the exact timings on each presale website.
Following the presale, general tickets for Eilish's Australian tour dates will go on sale here via Ticketek from 1pm on May 3, 2024. Sydney tickets will be available first at 1pm, followed by Brisbane at 2pm, and Melbourne at 3pm.
Ticket prices start at $129.90, and are limited to four per customer.
At the moment, Billie Eilish has not announced touring dates for New Zealand as part of the Hit Me Hard And Soft tour — which perhaps explains why she is performing so many dates in Australia.
The design was replicated for Zendaya's character in the film and has been worn by the actress during the press tour, while co-star Josh O'Connor wore a shirt version on the red carpet, and Anderson — who is responsible for the film's costumes – posed in one alongside director Luca Guadagnino as they promoted the film in Rome.
Now, Loewe has announced the launch of a line of 'I Told Ya' T-shirts and sweatshirts, which will no doubt be a sell-out success. The label has released both white and grey iterations of the style in lightweight cotton jersey, which are unisex, and will look excellent worn oversized with jeans and loafers all summer long.

Vivid Sydney 2024 program
Vivid's holistic and immersive program is packed full of a huge mix of experiences, performances and installations this year, taking place everywhere from Circular Quay to Carriageworks. You can discover the entire program here, or below, we break down the highlights of each segment of the festival.
Amy Poehler is offering a talk
Last year Vivid hosted Jennifer Coolidge, and this year they've got Amy Poehler on board. The Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actor and comedian is headlining this year's Vivid Ideas line-up for an exclusive in-conversation event sure to offer plenty of laughs and girlboss inspiration.
The Saturday Night Live star and actor behind the iconic and uber bubbly, Galentine's obsessed Parks and Recreation character Leslie Knopewill chronicle her iconic comedy career to moderator Zan Rowe — while also showing a sneak peek at Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2. Poehler voices the character of Joy in the film franchise, which won the Oscar for Best Animated Picture in 2016.
Rejoice! Amy Poehler is headlining Vivid SydneyVIVID SYDNEY
"I'm really looking forward to taking part in Vivid Sydney this year, a place that welcomes Joy in every way," Poehler said.
"I can't wait to share a little of Inside Out 2: a movie that lets Joy and Sadness, Anxiety and Envy — all try to work together in hilarious and touching ways."
The one-off event will take place at the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House, on Monday May 27 from 7pm with red carpet arrivals to take place from 6pm.
This year's Vivid Ideas program seeks to expand its own boundaries, offering panels, conferences and talks as well as more interactive formats — like walking tours, meditations and other immersive experiences to encourage meaningful connections between strangers.
"Sex Work: A legal and social history" is a deep-dive into Kings Cross and Darlinghurst's red-light stories that challenges stereotypes; while "Say My Name: The Humanity of Names" is a storytelling session and panel discussion unpacking how and why certain names are categorised are "tricky" or "foreign".
"Golden Age of Humanity" will spotlight nine influential Australians (including chef and restaurateur Kylie Kwong and journalist Kate McClymont) across nine nights at the Golden Age Cinema in Surry Hills. And for a more quirky spin, Liesel Badorrek's "Window Dressing" engages our natural human fascination with privacy, allowing viewers to peer through illuminated windows to watch ordinary people living ordinary lives across eight windows of a Frank Gehry building on The Goods Line.
You can even put yourself in the centre of the action at "A Thousand Ways: An Encounter" from New York company 600 Highwaymen, which places you and a stranger at the centre of a private "performance" encouraging you to see each other in a new light.

Vivid Music 2024 program
A curated program of live performances, concerts and DJ sets across a number of venues — including Tumbalong Park, Machine Hall Precinct, Sydney Opera House and Carriageworks — will bring a huge group of local and international musicians to Sydney.
12 nights of free performances at Tumbalong Nights is sure to be a highlight, featuring the likes of Brisbane's pop princess Mallrat, Western Sydney's rising indie star grentperez and Coodjinburra crooner Budjerah, who opened Ed Sheeran's Australian tour last year.
At the Sydney Opera House, prepare to be transported by artists including American singer-songwriter Sky Ferreira, returning to Australia for her first time in 10 years; the genre-defying Queensland star Tia Gostelow; Meanjin-born Gamilaraay singer-songwriter Thelma Plum; and Swedish-born, Los Angeles-based R&B singer Snoh Aalegra, in her Australian debut.

Machine Hall Precinct will play host to Vivid Music for the first time, with its program spotlighting international headliners Deerhoof, Underscores and Jen Cloher. And Mary's Underground will transform again into the Vivid Sydney Supper Club, with a lineup of music, theatre and television talents from Montaigne and Mo'Ju to Annabel Crabb and Julia Zemiro.
This year's Vivid Light program promises to be as spectacular as ever — or perhaps more than ever before. US artist Yvette Mattern brings "Global Rainbow" to the Sydney Tower, with its 40-kilometre beams of vibrant lights shining over the city. The signature Sydney Opera House Lighting of the Sails will spotlight talented 2023 Archibald Prize Winner and Sydney-based textiles artist Julia Gutman, with her patchworks brought to life for "Echo".
Customs House and the Museum of Contemporary Art will have their façades reimagined by Australian artist Reg Mombassa and Chinese-Australian artist Guan Wei, respectively. Elsewhere, "Hika Rakuyo" brings the Japanese concept of the same name to Cockle Bay, using flowers and falling leaves as a metaphor for life's transient beauty — shown through spectacular Australian native flora that will bloom over the bay.
NSW artist Sinclair Park's work "Stateless" will feature 4000 solar-powered LED candles burning along Barangaroo Reserve, representing the increasing number of stateless people around the globe; while Leila Jeffreys and Melvin J. Montalban's "Nest" projection at the Stargazer Lawn showcases humanity's connection to nature through the mating dance of the native brolga.

Vivid Food 2024 program
Vivid's Food program returns for its second year in 2024, celebrating Sydney's rich and diverse culinary scene. "Vivid Fire" Kitchen returns with the universal appeal of a communal barbecue at The Goods Line; while "A Culinary Canvas by Danielle Alvarez" welcomes guests to the Opera House's Yallamundi Rooms to celebrate women in Australian gastronomy and winemaking.
"Our Shared Humanity" sees some of NSW's best chefs plate up a three-course vegetarian menu using rescued local produce, while a 10-course degustation at Kyiv Social highlights the authenticity and abundance of a Ukrainian family table for "Plates With Purpose: A Taste of Ukraine".
And for those who love to meander and sample, VividPlace Food Trail will take over Sydney Place and Bulletin Place laneways — featuring over 20 of Australia's top chefs, restaurateurs and bartenders in a night food market style experience.
This year, Vivid Sydney will run for 23 nights from May 24 to June 15, 2024. Each night, the lights will flicker on at 6pm — offering you plenty of time to explore all the incredible installations scattered throughout the city.

Celine launches '60s-inspired fragrance, ZOUZOU
The beauty products to stock your shelves with this monthCOURTESY OF CELINE
If you're inspired by the French girl chic style of Françoise Sagan and Jean Seberg — Celine has the parfait new fragrance for you. Joining the House's esteemed Haute Parfumerie collection is ZOUZOU: another scent for the now 12-piece line-up, which has both "for the day" and "for the evening" fragrances. Inspired by the joie de vivre of '60s icons, creative director Hedi Slimane distills the "fresh-faced and mischievous-looking" characters from film and literature — those that atypically have pixie haircuts and beaming pouts. The particular name, ZOUZOU, recalling the affectionate nickname formerly given to young Parisian girls with short hair.
With notes of amber and musk, the parfum offers a sweet caramel allure — think a warm and deliciously inviting French boulangerie — which are enveloped with Benzoin and Tonka Bean. Meanwhile, Patchouli and Labdanum underline the ambery and elegant character of the accord, with Celine's distinct powdery note also running through the Francophile scent. Just throw on your ballet flats, capris and breton stripes — and you'll be whisked away to the Marais with just light ZOUZOU spray.

The most memorable Met Gala looks of all time | V0A9GS9 | 2024-04-30 14:08:01
WHERE THE OSCARS follows film and the Grammys glorify music — it's the Met Gala where fashion, in all forms, is stylishly celebrated.
No train is too long (think Rihanna's gold Guo Pei gown), no headpiece is too gaudy — remember Sarah Jessica Parker's flaming hat that sparked a million memes? — and wearing more than one ostentatious outfit is actively encouraged. Simply cast your mind back to Lady Gaga in 2019 where she changed ensembles four times for the Camp: Notes on Fashion theme.
There's truly never been a dull Met Gala moment. And it's likely this year's event will bring plenty more memorable moments, as the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Benefit returns to its traditional date of the first Monday of May.
But until the haute couture event, here's a look back at some of the most memorable Met Gala outfits — which certifiably stopped Manhattan traffic.
Controversial comedian Russell Brand says he was baptised in the Thames and is now a Christian | 93Z955M | 2024-04-30 13:08:01
CONTROVERSIAL comedian Russell Brand says he was baptised in the Thames on Sunday and is now a Christian.
Brand previously said he was a Buddhist but reckoned he saw baptism as an opportunity "to die and be reborn".

In a video on social media yesterday, he said he had found his "path" and had felt "incredibly blessed" and "nourished" following the ceremony.
Brand, 48, has been accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse by four women after a joint probe by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Times.
He denies all claims about his behaviour at the height of his fame between 2006 and 2013.
In the clip at the weekend Brand did not mention the accusations directly, but referenced "challenges".
Singer Nicole Scherzinger said: "Amen! So awesome you are doing this! Jesus is the way!
"You will be reborn, renewed and cleansed!
"Maybe just don't do it in the Thames, praying for you."

Billy Joel sings iconic song Uptown Girl to ex-wife Christie Brinkley at MSG concert as fans praise the 'GOAT' singer | 93Z955M | 2024-04-30 13:08:01
BILLY Joel fans have praised the star for still singing his iconic song Uptown Girl to his ex-wife Christie Brinkley despite their split 30 years ago.
The celebrity couple called it quits in April 1994 after nine years of marriage.

But that seemingly hasn't ruined their relationship as both co-parents and friends.
Their daughter, Alexa, was born on December 29, 1985, eight months after the wedding.
In April 1994, Billy and Christie officially called it quits after five months of separation.
Their divorce was attributed to several factors, including the supermodel's wish to relocate to the West Coast from New York, and the difficulties associated with his tour schedule.
The exes have remained close friends throughout the years, though, as they've raised their daughter together.
RELATIONSHIP WOES
The same year the divorce was finalized, Christie married Real estate entrepreneur Richard Taubman.
But their relationship was short-lived and they split just one year later in 1995.
Immediately after, the supermodel tied the knot again, this time with architect Peter Cook.
Their marriage lasted until 2008 when they filed for divorce.
Meanwhile, Billy waited until 2004 to remarry post-divorce from Christie, when he said "I do" to author Katie Lee.
But they called it quits only five years later in 2009.
In 2015, the iconic singer married once again, this time to equestrian Alexis Roderick, a woman 33 years younger.
ANOTHER CHANCE AT LOVE?
In January, Christie opened up about her thoughts on dating in her 70s, to which she complained that the options are limited.
Despite saying that she "remains open" to the idea, "there just doesn't seem to be anybody out there," she told People.
"At the same time, I am pretty comfortable with my life the way it is, so, que será, será!" she added.
"I always said my whole life that I think that you have to be happy alone so that you get with a man for the right reasons and you're not clinging to him because you need to, you know?"
The swimsuit model's last relationship was with singer John Mellencamp, but the couple called it quits in 2020 after a year of dating.
