Billie Eilish concert chronology

The Where Do We Go? World Tour[1] was the fifth concert tour by American singer Billie Eilish, in support of her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019).[2] The tour commenced on March 9, 2020 in Miami, Florida at American Airlines Arena and concluded prematurely on March 12, 2020 in Raleigh, North Carolina at PNC Arena, before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of performance venues. It was planned to conclude on September 7, 2020 in Jakarta, Indonesia at Indonesia Convention Exhibition, before Eilish canceled future shows due to the pandemic.

Background and development[edit]

The name of this tour essentially finishes the name of the previous tour (When We All Fall Asleep Tour), of which the same album was promoted. The tour was officially announced through Eilish's Instagram account on September 27, 2019. Eilish posted a picture along with the tour dates and venues.[3] Then, on February 28, 2020, Eilish announced Jessie Reyez as the support act for North America and European dates.

Eilish was planned to embark on a sold-out North American tour in March 2020 and was set to tour South America and Europe before heading to Asia. On March 16, 2020, Eilish announced the postponement of her North American tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[4] and on May 13, 2020, Eilish announced the postponement of the remainder of the tour for the same reason.[5][6] On December 3, 2020, Eilish announced that the tour would be officially cancelled and gave fans a full refund, while also informing them that they would be granted new tickets for her next tour.[7]
