From Intimate Venues to Iconic Amphitheaters: The Expansion of The Hayley Williams Show

What began as a series of high-energy concerts including rapid sellouts at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium, L.A.’s Hollywood Bowl, and São Paulo’s Espaço Unimed has blossomed into something much bigger. Williams has officially expanded The Hayley Williams Show tour, adding fresh stops across the continent and beyond to meet the soaring demand.

The North American leg is especially star-studded, featuring support from the synthpop duo Magdalena Bay and the fierce rapper Rico Nasty. Meanwhile, for Latin American and Puerto Rican fans, indie singer-songwriter Annie DiRusso will open the shows, bringing her own magnetic energy to the stage.

An Emotional and Eclectic Journey: Celebrating ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party’

For those of us who have followed Hayley’s career—both with Paramore and solo—her latest album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, feels like a milestone. It’s a raw, eclectic masterpiece that earned nods from the Grammys and the Libera Awards alike. During this tour, Williams isn’t just performing her current hits; she’s treating fans to a full spectrum experience. Expect to hear select tracks from all three of her solo albums, intertwined with “exciting surprises” that keep every show fresh and unforgettable.

This album, steeped in emotional honesty and sonic exploration, reveals a side of Hayley that’s both vulnerable and fearless. It’s been thrilling to witness her evolve beyond the Paramore frontwoman we’ve known, into a solo artist unafraid to embrace complexity and nuance in her storytelling.

Giving Back: Williams’ Activism-Driven Ticketing Initiatives

One of the many things that makes Hayley Williams’ solo tour stand out is her commitment to meaningful causes. On the North American dates, $1 from every ticket sold will support the environmental nonprofit REVERB and the community-focused Support+Feed. This thoughtful approach extends to Latin America, where ticket proceeds will be channeled into local initiatives, yet to be announced.

It’s refreshing to see a major artist blend activism with their art so seamlessly—reminding us that concerts can be about more than just music; they can be catalysts for positive change.

Fighting Scalpers and Putting Fans First

If you’ve ever lost out on tickets to a hot show because of scalpers, here’s some good news: Williams’ North American concerts will use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange. This platform restricts ticket resales to the original purchase price, making it fairer and more affordable for true fans.

If you’re eager to snag tickets, artist presales kicked off on May 12, with general sales opening May 14. Getting in early? The HW HQ fan club presale registration began May 7, offering its members a chance to grab tickets before the crowds.

Tour Dates That Span the Globe

Williams is keeping the momentum rolling with U.S. performances through mid-May, including a standout appearance at Utah’s Kilby Block Party. Then, she heads to Europe beginning June 5 in Milan, wrapping up the European leg by June 30 in Dublin. But the real excitement lies in the newly announced dates stretching from September to November, crossing the United States and diving deep into Latin America.
