The two free listening parties will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on May 15 (in association with YouTube Music) and at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California on May 16 (in association with Snapchat). Both events are presented by American Express, with special perks for cardholders available.
Fans can request up to two tickets for the listening parties via this link here. All requests must be submitted by Tuesday May 7 at 9am PT (12pm EST / 5pm BST) . Submissions do not guarantee tickets to the event. Confirmations will be sent out on Friday May 10.
The listening parties are in support of Eilish’s third studio album ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft‘ which is set for release on May 17 (pre-order / pre-save here).
As part of Eilish’s environmental drive, fans are encouraged to take public transportation or carpool to and from the album listening parties to help reduce greenhouse gas pollution.
Eilish has been very vocal about her focus on sustainability. She recently shared details of eco-friendly vinyl for her upcoming album, with the pressings of her LP being made out of 100 per cent recyclable materials.
Last year, the singer brought her Overheated climate action event back to London. The event focused on “discussion, community building and resources to help tackle the climate crisis.”
She has also previously partnered with environmental nonprofit Reverb during her tours which previously resulted in over $1million donated to environmental, greenhouse gas reduction, and climate justice projects, more than 150,000 fan actions, and much more.

Elsewhere, the ‘What Was I Made For?’ singer previously explained why she isn’t sharing any singles from her new album before its release, saying that she wanted fans to experience it “all at once”.
“I don’t like singles from albums,” she told Rolling Stone. “Every single time an artist I love puts out a single without the context of the album, I’m just already prone to hating on it. I really don’t like when things are out of context.”
She continued: “This album is like a family: I don’t want one little kid to be in the middle of the room alone.”
In other news, Eilish is one of the musicians who have signed an open letter calling for a bill to be passed to protect gig-goers from ticket scams.
