Kansas City will be “Happier Than Ever” at Billie Eilish’s concert on Saturday, Nov. 16.

The “LUNCH” singer will take the stage at a sold-out T-Mobile Center for her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour.

The 23-year-old has played Kansas City before, first performing in 2017 at a $20 per ticket show at the Record Bar.

Since then, Eilish’s star has risen, winning several awards, including an Oscar and Grammy for “What Was I Made For?” from the 2023 “Barbie” movie. Eilish is currently nominated for seven 2025 Grammys, including song and album of the year.

On Saturday, the Los Angeles native is set to play hits including “Guess,” off of Charli XCX’s “Brat” album, and “bad guy,” which topped charts in 2019.

The Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, named after her May album, has stops scheduled in the United States, Canada, Australia and all over Europe.

Before you bring your friends and “Birds of a Feather” to Eilish’s KC concert, here’s what you should know.

How much are tickets?

Tickets are sold out on the Ticketmaster website as of Thursday morning. Luckily, you can still find tickets on resale sites.

Here’s how the lowest ticket prices compare as of Thursday:

What time will Billie Eilish go on stage?

Billie Eilish is expected to take the T-Mobile Center stage at 8:30 p.m., according to the venue. The concert’s openers, sibling duo Nat and Alex Wolff, start at 7 p.m.

When do doors open?

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for all attendees. If your cellphone provider is T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile or MINT, you can enter through the expedited T-Mobile gate on Grand Boulevard when all doors open.

The venue is cashless, so you can only buy concert merchandise with credit and debit cards or contactless payment methods, like Apple Pay.

Concertgoers with general admission tickets can start lining up at 11 a.m. outside of the T-Mobile Center’s Oak Street entrance, according to the venue website.

What is Billie Eilish’s set list?

While Billie could bust out any song Saturday, aggregator Setlist.fm shared an average set list online with more than 20 songs.

What can and can’t I bring to T-Mobile Center?

T-Mobile Center does not have a clear bag policy, but the venue encourages fans to pack lightly when attending. Your bag should not be larger than 12” by 6” by 12”. Don’t bring backpacks or chain wallets.

These other items are not allowed inside:

  • Artificial noisemakers

  • Beach balls and balloons

  • Cameras with detachable lenses

  • Coolers and containers

  • Laptop and tablet computers

  • Outside food and beverages

  • Pocket knives

  • Selfie sticks

  • Spurs

  • Umbrellas with spike-like points

  • Any type of weapon, fake weapon or object resembling a weapon

Where can I park in downtown Kansas City?

Downtown Kansas City has plenty of parking available near T-Mobile Center. The arena offers on-site parking in the red lot at 12th and Oak streets and the yellow lot at 13th Street and Grand Boulevard, which is the KC Live! garage.

You will have to purchase passes to these lots in advance online. Both lots cost $20 before online fees. Event parking opens three hours before the concert.

Other than those, there are over 40,000 parking spaces in the downtown area. Many are paid lots, and street parking is available, though it may cost up to $40 during events like concerts.

You can also park farther away and take the free KC Streetcar to the stop 14th and Main streets, the closest to T-Mobile Center.

Where can I be dropped off and picked up for the concert?

Grand Boulevard and Oak Street in front of T-Mobile Center will be blocked off for the concert.

If you’re being dropped off by a family, friend, Uber or Lyft, they can take you as close to the 13th and Oak Street entrance as possible. They may also drop you off on streets that aren’t blocked off in the Power & Light District or farther away if walking isn’t an issue.

The same is true for picking up concertgoers after the show. Communicate with your driver so they can find you once the show’s over.
