Source-derived summary

Happier Than Ever, The World Tour was the sixth headlining concert tour and first full arena tour by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, in support of her second studio album Happier Than Ever (2021). The tour commenced on February 3, 2022, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, and concluded on April 2, 2023 at the Arena VFG in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Background

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. Subsequently, Eilish posted further announcements through other social media pages such as Twitter. The tour used Ticketmaster's Verified fan program in North America. It initially consisted of 50 dates (32 in North America and 18 in Europe). Tickets sold out quickly, leading to the addition of more dates. A third and fourth leg, with locations in Oceania and Latin America, respectively, were also added to the tour.

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.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2022–2023 concert tour by Billie Eilish” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q106987351. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
