The OVO Hydro arena was packed to capacity well before the show started. The venue’s plant-based concessions, efficient crowd management, and strong eco-friendly policies (including cashless payments and small bag restrictions) reflected Billie’s ongoing commitment to sustainability — something she’s emphasized throughout her career and particularly during this tour.

Fans began arriving as early as 15:00 to queue for limited-edition merch from the external merch truck, which reportedly sold out of exclusive Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour items by showtime. News.com.au even reported fans were stunned by the merch prices but eager to get their hands on rare collectibles.

🎧 The ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ Experience
This tour is built around Billie’s third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft — an 11-track odyssey of emotional dissonance, introspection, and unfiltered vulnerability. Released to critical acclaim in May 2025, the album has since become the emotional core of her live performances.

The Glasgow concert amplified these emotions with breathtaking visuals — shadowy backdrops, underwater projections, and strobe-lit dance sequences that captured the duality of Billie’s sound.
During “THE GREATEST,” the screen behind her fractured into a cascading mirror, while fans lit up the arena during “when the party’s over” with their phone lights, turning the moment into a glowing constellation of heartbreak.
