On May 21, 2021, the tour was announced through a YouTube video posted to her official page. In the short clip, the artist sits alone in the auditorium, while at the end of the visual, the camera points to Eilish's official website.[3] Subsequently, Eilish posted further announcements through other social media pages such as Twitter.[4] The tour used Ticketmaster's Verified fan program in North America.[5] It initially consisted of 50 dates (32 in North America and 18 in Europe).[5][6] Tickets sold out quickly, leading to the addition of more dates.[7] A third and fourth leg, with locations in Oceania and Latin America, respectively, were also added to the tour.[8][9]
Eilish worked with Apple Music to exclusively host a film of one of the concerts, specifically one of her shows at the O2 Arena in London. She billed the film as a way for fans who missed out on tickets to experience the tour for themselves, wanting more people to recognize her for her showmanship live.[10][11][12] Eilish previewed the film by sharing performances of two tracks from the album—"Therefore I Am" and "I Didn't Change My Number"—through her YouTube account.[13] An extended cut of the film was also released in limited cinemas worldwide on January 27, 2023.[14]
