Billie Eilish announces new 3D concert movie for 2026
Billie Eilish just announced a full 3D concert movie of her latest world tour co-directed with James Cameron. Here’s what to expect from the cinematic release.
Billie Eilish is closing out her Hit Me Hard and Soft era with a full-length 3D concert movie capturing the tour in all its intensity and visual flair. The film, titled Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D), arrives in cinemas in March 2026 and is co-directed by Eilish and Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron.
Eilish made the announcement onstage during the final stop of the tour at San Francisco’s Chase Center, where she told the crowd how meaningful the project had become to her. She later reiterated the excitement online, calling the chance to co-direct the film “surreal” and saying she “can’t wait for everyone to see it.” Fans had already suspected something big was coming, months earlier in Manchester, Eilish teased that “more cameras than usual” were following the show.
Filmed throughout her global run, the movie captures the elaborate stage production that defined the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, LED visuals, shifting stage platforms, and a heavier, more atmospheric live sound. It was one of Eilish’s most visually cohesive tours yet, making it a natural fit for a cinematic treatment. Shooting in 3D adds a new level of immersion, aiming to replicate the scale and intimacy of the live experience in a way traditional concert films rarely achieve.
The film is a blend high-energy performances with behind-the-scenes footage and personal moments collected throughout the tour. Rather than a straightforward recording of a single show, it aims to present a fuller emotional narrative, capturing the tension, excitement, and exhaustion that come with touring at a global scale. With Cameron’s involvement, the project is expected to push technical boundaries, using advanced cameras and depth-focused cinematography to create a more enveloping concert experience.
