The Setlist: A Deep Dive Into The 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' Experience
The core of the San Francisco concerts was, of course, the music. The setlist was a meticulously curated journey through her discography, heavily featuring tracks from the new album while honoring the hits that catapulted her to superstardom. The show was structured to mirror the emotional ebb and flow of the HIT ME HARD AND SOFT album, creating a cohesive, theatrical experience.
The concert began with the atmospheric and complex "CHIHIRO," immediately setting a moody, introspective tone. This was quickly followed by the infectious, bass-heavy "LUNCH," which instantly lifted the energy of the Chase Center crowd.
Fans were treated to a near-complete performance of the new album, which felt particularly poignant on the tour’s final night. Deep cuts like "THE DINER" and "WILDFLOWER" were given the stadium treatment, showcasing Billie’s growth as a vocalist and performer.
The Essential Hits and Emotional Peaks
No Billie Eilish concert would be complete without the classics. The crowd reaction to older fan favorites like "bad guy" and "Therefore I Am" was deafening, providing huge singalong moments. The acoustic section, featuring Billie and Finneas, brought the intensity down for a moment of shared intimacy, especially during the performance of "when the party's over."
The inclusion of "ilomilo" and "NDA" demonstrated the breadth of her catalog, satisfying long-time fans who have followed her journey since her debut. The final act was a powerful blend of emotional ballads and high-energy anthems, perfectly building the tension toward the final surprise announcements.
The Shocking Announcements That Closed The Tour
The San Francisco finale was destined to be memorable, but Billie Eilish ensured it would be legendary by dropping two bombshells that immediately became the top trending topics in music news. These announcements provided a clear roadmap for her creative future, pivoting from the tour's conclusion straight into the next phase of her career.
1. Fourth Album Tease: The Road to Album 4
In a moment of raw emotion on stage, Billie Eilish confirmed what fans had hoped for: new music is officially in the works. She teased her fourth studio album, a revelation that sent the Bay Area crowd into a frenzy. Her brother, Finneas, later provided a crucial update, confirming that the duo was heading to a studio in Berlin immediately following the tour to begin the recording process.
This rapid turnaround suggests that the creative juices are flowing, and the sound of Album 4 is likely to be a direct evolution from the themes and sonic palette explored in HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. The pressure is immense, but the duo’s track record suggests another genre-bending masterpiece is on the horizon, likely arriving in late 2026 or early 2027.
2. The 'Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour Live in 3D' Movie
The second major revelation was the announcement of a 3D concert movie, capturing the spectacular production of the "Hit Me Hard and Soft" tour. Titled *Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour Live in 3D*, the film is set to be a cinematic event, co-directed by Billie Eilish herself.
This move follows a trend of major artists bringing their live shows to the big screen, but Billie’s commitment to a 3D format promises an immersive, high-fidelity experience that captures the scale and emotional intensity of the stadium shows, including the dramatic lighting, choreography, and the sheer power of her performance. The film’s release date is expected in the first half of 2026, giving fans a chance to relive the tour while they wait for Album 4.
The Supporting Act: Lucy Dacus’s Perfect Prelude
Adding to the prestige of the San Francisco shows was the selection of indie-rock darling Lucy Dacus as the special guest opener. Dacus, known for her emotionally resonant songwriting and powerful, narrative-driven tracks, provided a perfect contrast and complement to Billie Eilish’s introspective style.
Her performance warmed up the Chase Center beautifully, setting a high standard for the evening. Dacus’s presence highlights Billie’s commitment to showcasing talented female artists and adding topical authority to the entire tour package. Her songs, often dealing with themes of memory, love, and identity, resonated deeply with the Eilish fanbase, creating a seamless transition into the main event.
The Legacy of the San Francisco Tour Stop
The "Hit Me Hard and Soft" tour was a monumental undertaking, spanning 106 dates across the globe, but its final bow in the Bay Area will be remembered as the moment a chapter closed and a new one began. The energy, the sold-out crowds, the surprise announcements, and the sheer emotional weight of the final performance established the San Francisco shows as a historic landmark in Billie Eilish’s career.
For the thousands of fans who packed the Chase Center, they didn't just attend a concert; they were present for a pivotal moment in the life of a global superstar. As Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell head into the studio, the music world eagerly awaits the next evolution of her sound, knowing that the foundation for her future was laid on those two unforgettable nights in San Francisco.
