Massive star arrives in Brisbane completely unrecognisable

One of the biggest names in music walked unrecognised through the Brisbane Airport on Monday thanks to her incognito outfit and accessories.

Billie Eilish arrives at Brisbane Airport

Music megastar Billie Eilish has arrived in Brisbane, where she will play four concerts this week.

The ‘Ocean Eyes’ singer – who was wearing a NY snapback hat, sunglasses, face mask, hoodie, baggy shorts, and black sneakers – and her entourage arrived on a Qantas flight from Melbourne and were whisked through into a private area and into a black van outside the Brisbane Domestic Terminal.

There was one organised fan waiting at the airport who was clutching a photograph of Eilish and hoping for an autograph.

The 23-year-old will play four concerts at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre from February 18-22 as part of her mega ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour,’ which will see her perform 12 concerts across the country.

She’ll then head to Sydney for four shows at Qudos Bank Arena from February 24, before finishing up at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne with a further four concerts from March 4.

The tour is her third to Australia, where she has dominated the annual Triple J Hottest 100 countdown, with 25 entries over eight years – the most for any artist.

Earlier this year, the America singer-songwriter’s brother, fellow popstar FINNEAS said Brisbane “wasn’t his favourite city” after revealing in an interview with Buzzfeed Australia his confusion behind why Brisbane residents “hate their own city”.

“The people in Brisbane hate the city of Brisbane and I don’t understand what the fuss is all about, I’ve had a great time,” he said.

He later added: “I’m not on the hate train, but I don’t know if I can say it’s my favourite city in Australia.”

Brisbane fans were already camped out in tents near the concert venue at 10.30am on Monday, a day and a half before the first show, with the crowd expected to grow.
