In December 2020, Billie Eilish’s first arena tour, titled ‘WHERE DO WE GO?’, was abruptly canceled after the first three shows in North America due to the worsening COVID-19 pandemic.
Two years later, in February 2022, the American artist restarted the tour with a new name—Happier Than Ever, The World Tour—and a much longer list of stops. The Happier Than Ever tour consists of 4 legs spanning the USA, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, including five Asia stops in Manila, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Tokyo. Although COVID-19 is still a significant health concern worldwide and containment restrictions for live entertainment venues vary significantly from country to country, the tour proceeded with little interruption.
The following photographs of the fans and the show were taken during the Billie Eilish tour stop at IMPACT Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, on August 24, 2022. These editorial photos were shot exclusively for Shutterstock Now, and can also be licensed directly from me.
