Background and development

In November 2017, Billie Eilish announced her second concert tour, the Where's My Mind Tour, to her first major-label EP, Don't Smile at Me (2017). Tour dates and locations were released on the same day. The setlist included all of the songs from Don't Smile at Me, including a cover of Drake's "Hotline Bling" and Eilish's brother Finneas O'Connell, performing his single "New Girl".

Synopsis

In North America, Eilish started the tour with a performance of "Bellyache". She would throw her hair around, stick her tongue out, and jump around. Eilish's brother and producer Finneas O'Connell, would perform his 2016 single "New Girl". Eilish would perform a cover of rapper Drake's "Hotline Bling" on a ukulele and Finneas would play an acoustic guitar. The cover would later transition into "Party Favor". She would perform an unreleased song called "When the Party's Over".

Eilish's performance at the Black Cat was opened by Reo Cragun and DJ Kieroglyphics. Eilish would start the show off with "Bellyache". She then moved into "Idontwannabeyouanymore" and "Watch". "Watch" was blended with "&Burn". Eilish would rap the verse of Vince Staples. After continuing with "Bored" and "Six Feet Under", she invited her brother, Finneas, to perform one of his own songs "New Girl". After Finneas finished performing, Eilish would come back out, holding a ukulele. She would sing "Hotline Bling" before segueing into "Party Favor". Eilish would usually talk to the audience in between songs, and say stuff like: "I want to thank you guys for existing." When performing "When the Party's Over", she told the crowd to put away the phones, saying "If you just look up and look at me." Eilish then sang "Ocean Eyes", with an a capella singalong, and after it concluded Eilish exclaimed: “You guys hit a spot in my heart!" She would then perform "My Boy", making the audience dance and shout. She would shush them as she sang "Hostage". She noted that the crowd was one of the best she ever had and asked them to "jump like a kangaroo" for the last song "Copycat". The audience obliged and when the concert was over Eilish jumped into the arms of the crowd.

In Europe, Eilish would open with "Bellyache". She would then perform "&Burn". The recorded version features America rapper Vince Staples, but it was performed live Eilish without him. It would begin with the original arrangement before the beat drops and Eilish would break into dance. Eilish would sing "Six Feet Under", Eilish chants the crowd with "fuck that hoe" having explained that two years ago she'd spent the day with a boy, going to see a movie and after their first kiss that night he let her know it was as magical as he believed. She then plays the unreleased song, saying "how could I say I like you like that". Eilish would finish with "Copycat", red lights would flash as Eilish sang it.

Reception

Eilish's performance at The Bowery Ballroom was praised by the staff of Billboard magazine. Lyndsay Havens described the performance as "explosive" and said it was "at times tender, and entirely exciting".
