The Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party tour, the debut solo headlining run from Hayley Williams, returned the singer-songwriter to the small and intimate venues she grew familiar with during the early days of Paramore. Williams hasn’t even wrapped the tour yet, but she’s already itching to get back onstage — and even bigger ones, at that. In September, she’ll kick off another tour, dubbed The Hayley Williams Show, with performances across North and Latin America.
The tour begins on Sept. 3 in West Palm Beach, Florida and extends through Nov. 27, when Williams will wrap with a performance in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The run includes two nights at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and two at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl. All four shows were announced prior to the complete tour run and have already sold out. Fans can also catch Williams in Boston, Detroit, Cincinnati, San Diego, New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and more cities worldwide.
The North American dates during The Hayley Williams Show trek will be supported by Magdalena Bay and Rico Nasty, while the Latin American leg will feature Annie DiRusso. A portion of each ticket sale will benefit REVERB and Support+Feed. General sales begin on May 14 at 10 a.m. local time following an artist pre-sale beginning May 12 at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour will pull together material from across Williams’ solo catalog, including Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, Flowers for Vases / Descansos, and Petals for Armor. In the lead-up to the announcement, posters at Forest Hills and Hollywood Bowl teased her upcoming appearance with lyrics from her solo career, like “Are you gonna stay the night?” from “Stay the Night,” her 2013 collaboration with Zedd, and “Can we pretend that airplanes” from her collaboration with B.o.B.
The Hayley Williams Show run might be a scale-up from the Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party tour, but the heart is the same. “When the world feels the way it does, I find myself wanting to plug back into what’s local,” she told Rolling Stone last year. “I’m wanting to go to smaller shows. I’m wanting to feel like I can see the blood and the bone.”
