In a quadrilateral against his demons, Billie Eilish rises to Barcelona as the Popstar Gen Z …

The first time Billie Eilish He stepped on a stage in our country had 17 years And he hadn’t even published his debut album. On March 9, 2019, he put an end to his first international tour, 1 by 1 tourbefore about 4,000 people, after having relocated the concert From room 2 of Apollo to Sant Jordi Club for the high demand for tickets. That is why, in which the American has become the youngest artist in history to win the album of the year in the Grammy, and to get the triple crown of music and cinema, being the youngest to win an Oscar, a golden balloon and a grammy for an original song for a movie, thanks to No time to die.

Therefore, after consolidating himself as one of the most important artists of his generation – and of the current panorama -, nobody is surprised that, during the homonymous tour of his third album, with more than one hundred dates all over the world (April 2024 until the fall of 2025), he has managed to hang the poster of “Everything Sold” Two consecutive nights at the Palau Sant Jordi, June 14 and 15. With practically unconditional support, gathering some 28,000 people seems as easy as breathing.

If the first night was a success, the afternoon of Sunday, June 15, despite seeming a complicated day for its position in the week, it confirmed that the Crown of Generation Z has been his years ago that is his

But these nights do not go from figures, achievements or records. The differential value of Eilish has been, is and will be to create a unique and indisputably Billie Eilish sound. Listening to his atmospheres, his soft voice, the forcefulness of his bass or the rawness of his bankruptcies, combined with a narrative universe where vulnerability is his great strength, is what connects directly with his fans. A connection that is reflected in a total delivery of your followers. If the first night was a success, the afternoon of Sunday, June 15, despite seeming a complicated day for its position in the week, it confirmed that the Crown of Generation Z has long belonged to it.

From six in the afternoon, the enclosure was filled with wide bermuda, bandanas and XL t -shirts that evoked the aesthetics of the artist. Among the public highlighted the number of excited adolescents, mostly girls, who were accompanied by their fathers and mothers. It was sensed that it was the first concert of many of them. Everything was new, brilliant, stimulating, and the parents seemed to breathe relieved before the fact that the favorite artist of her daughters, hikes, sons were someone with great musical talent. Nothing to complain with the cantinela of “The music of now is only autotune”. Although the thing was complicated if they wanted to acquire a garment of Merchwhich could reach 110 euros for a shirt.

The most important mass of their lives

At seven in the afternoon, the evening was enlivened by Tom Odell. Despite being the opening one, he offered a concert at the height of any poster head. If one day he wrote Another Loveit was to go down in history. The delicacy of his piano, accompanied by his voice, resonated the entire stadium when, after the first chorus, the hype entered and everyone went crazy. The desire to feel were in the air, and the commitment to the live, both above and under the stage, was already served.

With a rectangular scenario in the middle of the Palau, the show was lived as a 360º experience. Billie Eilish does not need anyone to cover her back: she goes with everything, without hiding anything. With an absolutely dazzling staging, he made the stadium tremble even before leaving. Flying on a bucket, he opened the night with the succession of Chihiro and Lunch. The public sang so strong that, sometimes, the singer’s voice was lost among the crowd.

He ran from one side to the stage, without neglecting a centimeter of the public. The energies feeded each other. Like who makes a pact that does not need to sign: you put words to our discomforts and yearning

He ran from one side to the stage, without neglecting a centimeter of the public. The energies feeded each other. Like who makes a pact that does not need to sign: you put words to our discomforts and yearnings, form what we do not even know how to express, and we sing it all back. Each silence was filled with ovations. If the energy was vibrant with topics such as Therefore i amdelivery with ballads like Wildflower It was total. And if there is something practically impossible before a stadium audience is to ask for a sepulchral silence … and that everyone fulfills it. But she succeeded. For when the party’s overused loops from his own voice generated live, and asked for silence. They all rigorously fulfilled it, as if we were in The most important mass of our lives. It was hard to believe that all this devotion was generating a girl of only 24 years, alone in a stage. Neither choreographies, nor dancers, nor seals, nor impossible changing changes, nor changing decorations. The money. Crudeness and forcefulness. The show was a constant dance with the public reactions – and an audiovisual and light production studied to the millimeter. A very clear sample was the choreography of flashlights that the public made during Ilomilo.

Generally, in concerts where the artist already has more than a couple of albums, the public’s favorites can be clearly distinguished by the level of jumps, raised mobiles, ovations … with Billie Eilish, it was impossible. All the songs were the best song, the most sung, the most celebrated. The Greatestfrom his latest album, he had nothing to fear to be eclipsed by Bad Guy —One of the singles that placed it on the radar as one of the most interesting proposals in the late 2010.

Billie Eilish made everything that passed through her hands was spectacular: sing a stadium rock ballad while floats on a mobile platform, or make an acoustic guitar version so that the simplicity of the moment triumphs between the crowd. Everything had its emotional space in Hit me hard and soft. And as everyone wants to feel that they have lived a unique experience, many artists work on the idea of ​​having a surprise song for every night and city. A gesture that celebrates the here and now. If on the first date it was Halley’s Cometdespite the failed rumors about an appearance of Rosaliathe second night was awarded with an acoustic of TV.

In the Ecuador of the concert, the night seemed just starting. Energy was constant: fire, subgraves and Bury A Friend. And, yet, he showed that one more degree could be uploaded the madness that shook the Sant Jordi. With the celebration of the first anniversary of Brat of Charli XCXby interpreting your collaboration Guess Remixthe presence of the British was not necessary to raise the temperature of the pavilion. Always on the right side of the story. Brat Summer Foreveri guess.

After just over an hour and a half, Billie Eilish had demonstrated why she is the definitive gene z

With a perfectly executed combo to the piano of Lovely – Blue – Ocean Eyeswe approached the final stretch. L’Amour de Ma Viejo —With the danceable extension Over Now– And your song for the movie Barbie. Everything exploded with the short but electrical and cathartic version of Happier than Everwhich allowed to shout that of You Made Haate This City In Crescendo. And, as who puts balm to the wounds, closed with the luminous and classical snapshot since the day it came out: Birds of A Feather.

After just over an hour and a half, Billie Eilish had demonstrated why she is the definitive gene z. With impeccable genres hybridization, it manages to delicately encapsulate generational anguish, but also a luminous search for hope and pleasure. And all this with a direct at the height of someone who was born to be on stage. If in a few years someone has to explain what it meant to have twenty years at a time when the world seemed dark, hostile, in obvious ways of collapse, and social isolation among young people was increasingly latent – despite the desire of collective hope – perhaps a good idea would be to revisit one of the direct ones Billie Eilish.
