Billie Eilish to host climate change conference before London O2 Arena shows
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 4 May 2022
Billie Eilish has announced a climate change conference, called Overheated, which is basically a series of events that will take place at the O2 Arena in London in June to coincide with her tour dates at the venue.
While specific sessions will vary across the dates, all will include screenings of a new documentary, also called ‘Overheated’, in which Eilish, Vivienne Westwood, Emily Eavis, Girl In Red, Yungblud and others feature.
The first day, billed as ‘Overheated Live’, will take place on 10 Jun, kicking off with an introduction from Eilish and her brother Finneas. There will then be a keynote from a yet-to-be-announced speaker, plus other talks from Earthrise, Isaias Hernandez, Tori Tsui, Vanessa Nakate and more.
After that, 16 Jun has been billed the ‘Music Climate Session’, featuring talks from Earth/Percent, Chiara Badiali and Dominique Palmer, among others, as well as performances by Sigrid and Love Ssega.
There will also be other smaller events on 10-12, 16 and 26 Jun. Tickets and information are available at imoverheated.com.
