Hayley Williams has announced new tour dates for North America and Latin America, which will see her perform solo material and have some “exciting surprises” planned.
The new dates come as an extension of ‘The Hayley Williams Show’ tour – which the singer announced recently by sharing an assortment of sly quips from fans online, which accused her of making Paramore feel more like a solo project.
Initially, the dates just included a slot at the Espaço Unimed in São Paulo, before adding shows at the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Now, she has made it into a full-blown tour, with shows planned for Florida, North Carolina, New Orleans and more in North America, and shows in Latin America too.
The new dates kick off on September 3 at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida, and continue with stops in Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Boston and more throughout the month.
October dates include a variety of California shows, plus a night at the Bank Plus Amphitheater at Snowden Grove in Southaven, Mississippi. From there, Latin American shows run throughout November, and include shows in Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
A press release has stated that ‘The Hayley Williams Show’ “will feature material across all three of the singer’s solo albums as well as some exciting surprises.”
An artist pre-sale will start on May 12 at 10am local time, and general sales begin on May 14 at 10am local time.
Annie DiRusso will act as support for the Latin America and Puerto Rico dates, and the North American leg will feature support from Magdalena Bay and Rico Nasty. On top of that, $1 from every ticket sold in North America will directly benefit REVERB and Support+Feed.

Williams dropped her solo album ‘Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party’ as a surprise release last Autumn, and NME gave it five-stars, writing: “As with almost every era of Hayley Williams’ career, this new release has come with questions about the future of Paramore.
“The determined lyrics on the tender ‘I Won’t Quit On You’ should be all the reassurance worried fans need, but if that’s not enough, there’s plenty in this brilliant, swaggering new chapter to be excited about.
“These songs might be about missed second chances, but Williams is certainly making the most of hers.”
It also went on to be named as the ninth best album of the year in NME’s end of year list, and since then, she has launched a new musical collaboration with Daniel James – Power Snatch.
