Hayley Williams, frontwoman of Paramore, has revealed the dates for her long-awaited first solo tour, titled 'Hayley Williams at a Bachelorette Party.' The tour follows the release of her new song 'Showbiz' from the complete edition of her album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party and kicks off in March 2026 across North America, with European dates to follow.
The announcement comes shortly after Williams dropped 'Showbiz,' the closing track on the expanded version of her recent solo album. In a playful nod to her style, she 'leaked' the tour dates via a JPEG file titled 'oops' on her website.
Tour Details
The North American leg begins on March 28, 2026, at Atlanta's Tabernacle and concludes with two nights on May 12 and 13 at Los Angeles' The Wiltern. Highlights include two-night stands at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium (April 25 and 27), New York's Hammerstein Ballroom (April 9 and 10), and Philadelphia's Franklin Music Hall (April 6 and 7). Other stops feature Boston's Citizens House of Blues (April 3 and 4), Chicago's Chicago Theater (April 21 and 22), and Austin's ACL Live at The Moody Theater (May 2). Following the U.S. and Canadian dates, Williams will tour Europe for two weeks in June 2026, though specific cities remain unannounced.
Background and Context
This marks Williams' first solo tour, delayed multiple times. In March 2020, she announced plans to support her debut solo album Petals for Armor, writing, 'Wow. I am going on tour. Myself. It’s not Paramore and truthfully, it’s just a little terrifying... I must.' The COVID-19 pandemic forced cancellations, leading to virtual performances like NPR's Tiny Desk concert. By the time restrictions eased, Paramore reunited for their 2023 album This Is Why and joined Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
Williams hinted at the solo tour in a December 2024 fan message, initially suggesting a 2025 start, but it has shifted to 2026—six years after her original announcement.
