Hard core devotees of the Birds of a Feather singer started forming huge queues at the venue in Glasgow last night, despite torrential rain.
The concert doesn't start until 7pm today, but people have been waiting in lines since 1:30am.
Photos have emerged showing throngs of music fans sitting outside the 14,300-capacity Hydro, with the lines snaking around the metal barriers.
Many are kitted out with out with bags of food and drinking bottles to get them through the wait.
Fans can also be seen clutching blankets and relaxing on camping chairs.
Other pictures show a row of tents inside the 'Smartie Tube' tunnel over the Clydeside Expressway.
Billie's huge tour includes six gigs at the O2 Arena in London and four shows at the Co-op Live in Manchester.
Her previous tours include the Don't Smile at Me Tour, When We All Fall Asleep Tour, and Happier Than Ever, The World Tour.
In 2022, the music megastar hit the headlines after ordering a Glasgow restaurant's biggest takeaway haul ever.
Billie spent more than £1,000 at the city's Bucks Bar during her Happier Than Ever gigs.

Staff at the West Regent Street site stacked containers which included grub like burgers and wings sky high as they went above and beyond to fulfil the record breaking order.
Taking to Facebook, a post on the bar's page read: 'BIGGEST BUCK'S BAR TAKEAWAY ORDER EVER.
'Billie Eilish knows how to look after her crew - £1,000 takeaway order packed up and off to the OVO Hydro for all her hard working team.
'Well done to the team at Buck's Bar WRS for supplying the goods and looking after Billie's crew over the last few days.

'What a bunch of legends.'
Last year, fans of American singer Olivia Rodrigo were spotted queuing outside the Hydro ahead of the UK leg of her GUTS World Tour.
