Billie Eilish will visit Korea and host a concert titled “Hyundai Card Super Concert 26 Billie Eilish” on Aug. 15 at 8 p.m. at Gocheok Sky Dome in western Seoul.

The concert is an extension of the singer’s world tour for her second album “Happier Than Ever,” which was released in May 2021. She is expected to perform tracks from the album, as well as her other popular songs.

Eilish initially tried to visit Korea for a concert in 2020, but the trip was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Billie Eilish receives global recognition as a popular artist who possesses exceptional talent in musicmaking,” Hyundai Card said. “Her songs have set a record to have been streamed over 73 billion times on global music sites.”

This is Hyundai Card’s first "Super Concert" in two years and seven months, since it hosted British rock band Queen in January 2020.

Ticket reservations can be made through Interpark and Yes24. Users of Hyundai Card can reserve the tickets from 12 p.m. on July 5 and reservations are open to everybody else from 12 p.m. on July 6.

The singer will donate part of the profits from the concert to non-profit environmental organization Reverb. A dollar per ticket will be donated, which will be used to resolve environmental problems such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
