Billie Eilish: Talented, relevant, edgy - the voice of a generation
Billie Eilish has two upcoming gigs at 3Arena in Dublin.
It is difficult to recall a time Billie Eilish wasn’t one of the biggest pop stars on the planet but that moment was a mere four years ago. In the summer of 2018, there was widespread bafflement as it was reported this relatively unheard of singer, with her green-tipped fringe, brooding gaze and oversized hoodies, had clocked up one billion plays on Spotify. “Billie Who?” was the question on many lips.
Eilish’s status as the world’s largest cult artist would quickly be upgraded, however. And as she prepares to play her first stand-alone Irish dates, in Belfast and Dublin this weekend, she has indisputably ascended to the status of generation-defining figure – one of the first true superstars of Gen Z.
