Billie Eilish is gearing up to deliver what looks set to be one of the most high-spec live streams we’ve seen so far — it's being described as “virtual, multi-dimensional, interactive and immersive”.

It’s a must-see for devotees and an intriguing prospect for everyone else. Eilish says she’s been working on the concept for “months”, and has teased fans by saying she will be “bringing you inside my head in crazy XR environments”.

Here, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know, from start times and ticket prices to whether or not we can expect any new music during the show.

When is Where Do We Go? The Livestream and how much are tickets?

The pre-show will kick off at 10pm (more details on that below) with the main event set to begin at 11pm on Saturday October 24. Tickets are priced at $30 (£22.60) and can be bought from livestream.billieeilish.com.

What can we expect from the pre-show?

The biggest draw here is the promise of a sneak peek of the artist’s new documentary. A never-before-seen clip from Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry will be unveiled at some point from 10pm onwards — the full film will arrive in cinemas and Apple TV+ in February.

Elsewhere, there will be access to exclusive merch (with proceeds on some items going to Crew Nation, to support live events professionals struggling during the pandemic) as well as appearances from some currently anonymous “special guests”. It’s anyone’s guess who they might turn out to be.

And what about the main event?

In some ways, this stream will make up for the cancellation of Eilish’s 2020 world tour — which should have included four massive dates at The O2 in London. As such, it looks as if she’ll be pulling out all the stops to make it something special.

She’s enlisted the help of Moment Factory, the company who were on board to produce the world tour, to create a dazzling set-up: alongside brother and songwriting partner Finneas, as well as drummer Andrew Marshall, Eilish will perform live on a 60ft x 24ft stage, flanked by 100ft x 24ft LED screens. There's going to be a XR reality element to it all, blending real-life with virtual reality.

Will there be any new music?

It’s a strong maybe. Eilish released the track My Future back in July, which is bound to get an airing. It’s not unlikely that she’ll deliver a rendition of her Bond theme, No Time To Die, the video for which premiered earlier this month.

In a recent Instagram Q&A, Eilish revealed that another new song will be released in November. Could we hear it for the first time on the stream? Only time will tell.
