Billie Eilish and her mother, actress Maggie Baird, have announced the return of their OVERHEATED climate action event, which will come back to The O2 in London for a third time.
The event was launched in London in 2022, in collaboration with non-profit Support+Feed, an organisation founded by Baird which focuses on tackling the climate crisis and food insecurity around the world. This year, the summit will return to The O2 in London on July 14, while making its debut in Berlin a few days before on July 9.

The event aims to host climate activists and music industry individuals, organisations and fans to connect and come together for discussion and activities on green initiatives. The official webpage for OVERHEATED says that attendees can expect short talks, panel discussions, fireside chats, video presentations, and maybe a surprise guest or two at the end of the day.
This year, OVERHEATED will host a ‘Community Village’ within the venue spaces in both London and Berlin. Here, audience members and organizations can meet and connect, partaking in conversation and fashion activities such as customizing shirts and watching local designer showcases. Fans can bring their own T-shirt to customize or pick one on site, free of charge.
A press release states: “OVERHEATED will bring together climate activists, music fans, and other leading voices for two days filled with discussion, community building and resources to help tackle the climate crisis. The programs will highlight a variety of easy and accessible actions for audience members to have a positive impact on their communities and in the continued global effort to combat climate change.”
Maggie Baird expressed her excitement for the event: “We are so grateful and incredibly humbled to be able to bring OVERHEATED to Berlin for the first time ever this year, and back to London where it all started for us. We can’t wait to continue the conversations with you all, finding ways to help our planet and combat climate change, with so many incredible people, all under one roof.”
Billie Eilish herself is no stranger to climate activism. She’s often used interviews to share her stance on the climate crisis, such as in an early feature with NME, stating “Hopefully the adults and the old people start listening to us [about climate change] so that we don’t all die.”
She spoke further on her advocacy for green initiatives in an interview with Vogue, humorously explaining “I’m still not shoving information down people’s throats. I’m more like, I’m not going to tell you what to do. I’m just going to tell you why I do this. But you’re also a bad person if you don’t do it.”
During her 2022 ‘Happier Than Ever’ world tour, Billie set up eco-villages within her concert venues, collaborating with Reverb, a non-profit organization that aims to educate and engage musicians and their fans to promote environmental sustainability. Within these spaces, fans were able to fill their water bottles for free, register to vote, and learn about environmental organizations.
Eventgoers with standing tickets for Eilish’s evening performances on the same days at both the Uber Arena in Berlin and The O2 in London will receive ‘dedicated entry’ to their chosen show – ensuring they won’t have to rejoin the general queue or risk losing their place in the line.
The OVERHEATED events will also be streamed globally via Billie Eilish’s official YouTube channel. More details can be found on the Support + Feed website, here.
