Billie Eilish has officially unveiled the electrifying first trailer for HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D), her upcoming concert film co-directed with legendary filmmaker James Cameron. The groundbreaking 3D film will hit theaters on March 20th, 2026, promising an immersive, unprecedented look into Eilish’s record-breaking global tour.
The trailer immediately plunges viewers into the heart of Eilish’s massive “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT TOUR”, the worldwide stadium run supporting her critically acclaimed third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft. With the tour staged entirely in-the-round, the preview showcases sweeping 360-degree visuals, soaring crane shots, and close-up performance moments captured from angles fans have never seen before.
The intense montage features powerful live renditions of “bury a friend,” “bad guy,” and the fan-favorite “THE GREATEST.” According to Cameron, the immersive look of the film was made possible by filming technology that has “never been used before” in a concert movie, designed specifically to capture the full sensory experience of Eilish’s live shows.
One of the most emotional elements in the trailer centers around Eilish performing her first shows without her brother and musical partner, Finneas, who stepped away briefly last year to focus on his solo tour. Cameron’s footage captures the vulnerability and adjustment Eilish faced during that period, highlighting the personal side of life on the road.
Intercut with the concert footage is a humanizing look at Eilish’s day-to-day reality—processing overwhelming fan devotion, including scrapes on her hands from constant high-fives, witnessing fans camping outside her hotel, and decompressing backstage with the help of close friends, family, and even what appears to be a “puppy room” for stress relief.
Eilish had previously teased the concert film during her Manchester show back in June, hinting at “more cameras than usual” and something “special” being created with Cameron in 3D. She officially confirmed the project last month, sharing a behind-the-scenes photo with the director and writing that co-directing with him was “a dream come true.”
Meanwhile, Cameron’s own cinematic journey continues as his highly anticipated Avatar installment, Fire and Ash, arrives in theaters on December 19th.
With innovation, emotional depth, and electrifying performances, Eilish’s 3D concert film is already shaping up to be one of 2026’s most immersive and unmissable cinematic events.
