WILL I GET TO MEET BILLIE?
Please note, this is a climate summit. It is not a performance. There is no guarantee that Billie – or any other person for that matter – will be there in person. But rest assured, Billie wants you to come.
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS EVENT IS THE SAME DAY AS BILLIE’S SHOW. WHAT HAPPENS IF I WANT TO ATTEND BOTH?
If you are lucky enough to have tickets for both events, we have more good news for you. OVERHEATED ticket holders who also have standing tickets for the Billie Eilish show will not lose their place in the queue at Billie’s shows. At the end of OVERHEATED you will be given instructions on where to go when you get to the arena.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT OVERHEATED
OVERHEATED is fun. We cover serious topics without getting too heavy. Expect to meet new people, get inspired with new ideas and exercise your creativity. It’s an unreserved seated event, but there are no bad seats. You will hear short talks, panel discussions, fireside chats, video presentations, and maybe see a surprise guest or two at the end of the day.
FOOD WILL BE SERVED
Healthy and delicious plant-based meals provided: light breakfast, lunch, drinks (coffee, tea, lemonade, water)
T-SHIRT PRINTING ON SITE
Say What?! Yes! The OVERHEATED fashion activation in Berlin celebrates the city’s vibrant, sustainable fashion scene. Bring a pre-loved T-shirt or pick one on-site — and make it your own.
