Billie Eilish has fans around the globe, and is about to meet many more on the other side of the pond! 

The award-winning singer, who is just 21, is counting down the days until she departs the United States to fly to the UK, where she will be headlining at two major festivals, Reading and Leeds, at the end of August. 

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the superstar shared the lineup posters for the two well-known music events on her Stories, alongside the caption: "Can't wait to be back in the UK for Reading and Leeds."

Billie will be away from the United States for much of the month, as this weekend on August 12, she will be performing at the Sziget Fesztivál in Budapest, Hungary, and Lowlands festival in the Netherlands on August 18. 

Just before heading over to the UK, she will be singing at the Rock en Seine in Saint-Cloud, France.

She added that she was hoping to be even braver in the future: "For the first time ever next year, I would like to maybe skydive, maybe do, like, a big bungee jump off a cliff or something. I really enjoy fear."

Billie gets fans talking not only about her songs and performances, but her evolving appearance as well. Earlier this week, she debuted an entire new look as she shared a photo on Instagram of her latest hair transformation.
