The ‘Happier Than Ever’ tour will begin with a North American leg next February, with the first show taking place in New Orleans. Before that, Eilish will headline a handful of US festivals late this year, including Las Vegas’ Life Is Beautiful, Delaware’s Firefly, New York’s Governors Ball, and Austin’s Austin City Limits.

Announcing the album, Eilish called it “my favorite thing I’ve ever created”. “I am so excited and nervous and EAGER for you to hear it,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I can’t even tell you. I’ve never felt so much love for a project as i do for this one. hope you feel what I feel.”

The record was co-written and produced by Eilish’s brother Finneas and recorded in LA. It will not feature any external songwriters or producers.
