Hayley Williams has announced details of her first-ever solo tour.
The Paramore vocalist will release her album Petals For Armor on May 8 through Atlantic Records.
She’ll hit the road beginning on May 13 in Amsterdam before wrapping up the Euro leg in Cologne on May 19. She’ll then play dates in the US and Canada from May 28.
Williams says: “Wow. I am going on tour. Myself. It’s not Paramore and truthfully, it’s just a little terrifying. But if I know anything, it’s that there’s no safer place – besides at home with my dog – than to be in a room, on a stage, in front of the people who I’ve grown up singing my lungs out for.
“There was a time I thought I wouldn’t tour Petals For Armor. What a joke. I must. This is a brand new adventure. It’s important to embark on something new every now and then just to show yourself that you can. I welcome the discomfort and the joy and I’m ready to be present for this.
“The first run of shows is going to be hot, sweaty, and intimate. My brand-newly-formed band and I will be playing rooms that Paramore outgrew a decade ago. It’s going to be so satisfying to feel the energy of a crowd that close again, especially while performing songs that feel so vital for me; songs I have never performed before for an audience.
“Thank you for the chance to tour this. I hope to see a ton of old friends and make some new ones too.”
Tickets for the tour will go on general sale from 10am local time on March 13, while those pre-ordering the record through the official store by 4pm on March 10 will receive a code to purchase tickets in advance.
Williams recently release Petals For Armor I – a five track collection featuring the singles Simmer, Leave It Alone and Cinnamon.
