As of today, May 3, Canadian fans can get their hands on tickets to Billie Eilish's upcoming Hit Me Hard and Soft tour.

Announced earlier this week, the tour accompanies the pop star's new record of the same name, out May 17. The tour kicks off in Quebec City at the Centre Videotron on Sept. 29, before two nights at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and, later, a stop in Vancouver. Tickets are available here.


Missy Elliott fans can also now secure their spot in the crowd at the her first ever headlining tour, Out Of This World. The star just added a second date in Toronto, on Aug. 20 at Scotiabank Arena due to popular demand, where she'll be accompanied by Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and super-producer Timbaland. Elliott is also coming to Vancouver on July 4 and Montreal on Aug. 17. Grab tickets to see the Supa Dupa Fly rapper before they're gone.
