Just weeks after wrapping her sold-out Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party tour, Hayley Williams is heading back out on the road. The Paramore frontwoman has officially announced The Hayley Williams Show, a second 2026 tour that scales her solo project up from intimate ballrooms to amphitheaters and arenas across North and Latin America. Williams unveiled the routing earlier this month, marking one of the most significant expansions of her solo career to date.
The tour, which builds on the momentum of her acclaimed solo album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, signals that Williams’ post-Paramore solo arc has firmly arrived at a new commercial tier — one capable of supporting Forest Hills Stadium and the Hollywood Bowl in the same calendar year.
The Routing
The Hayley Williams Show kicks off September 3, 2026, in West Palm Beach, Florida, and runs through November 27, when Williams will close out the tour in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The North American leg includes two nights at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and two at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, all four of which were announced ahead of the full routing and have already sold out.
Additional North American stops include Boston, Detroit, Cincinnati, San Diego, and New Orleans. The Latin American leg expands the trek into markets Williams has not consistently toured at this size, with confirmed shows in Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City, among others.
Openers and Charitable Component
Williams has tapped a deliberate pair of openers for the North American dates. Magdalena Bay and Rico Nasty will support the tour through the US and Canadian leg, while Annie DiRusso joins for the Latin American shows. The pairing reflects the same eclectic indie-pop instinct that has defined Williams’ solo direction since her departure from Atlantic Records in 2023.
In keeping with Williams’ history of activist-leaning touring, a portion of each ticket sale will benefit REVERB and Support+Feed, two nonprofits focused on environmental sustainability and food access. The artist has previously tied tour proceeds to The Ally Coalition during the spring leg of her Ego Death run, underscoring a consistent commitment to causes that move alongside the music.
Ticketing Details
General ticket sales begin May 14 at 10 a.m. local time, following an artist presale starting May 12 at 10 a.m. local time. Williams’ team has signaled an ongoing effort to make ticket access more transparent and bot-resistant. During the Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party rollout, Williams partnered with the verified-presale platform Openstage to cut down on scalpers and resellers, and similar protective measures are expected for this larger run.
A Set That Spans the Full Solo Catalog
Where the Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party tour was structured around playing the album in full nightly, The Hayley Williams Show will pull from across her solo career. That includes Petals for Armor (2020), Flowers for Vases / Descansos (2021), and Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, which was released in surprise installments through August 2025 and earned widespread critical acclaim.
The album, distributed through her independent imprint Post Atlantic via Secretly Distribution, marked Williams’ first release outside the major-label system that has defined her career since the early 2000s. NME gave it a five-star review, and the record ranked ninth on the publication’s year-end best-of-2025 list.
The promotional tease for the new tour leaned into Williams’ broader catalog as well. Posters at Forest Hills and Hollywood Bowl featured lyrics from her wider solo career, including the line “Are you gonna stay the night?” from her 2013 Zedd collaboration “Stay the Night,” and “Can we pretend that airplanes” from her appearance on B.o.B’s “Airplanes.”
A Notable Solo Trajectory
What makes The Hayley Williams Show announcement worth tracking is not just its scale but what it signals about how Williams has positioned her solo identity. The Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party tour returned her to the kind of small, sweat-soaked venues she has not played consistently since Paramore’s earliest years. The new tour reverses that — putting her in front of larger audiences, in larger rooms, and across more markets — while keeping the same musical center.
That center continues to mix alternative rock, indie pop, trip-hop, folk, and shoegaze sensibilities, all built around Williams’ instinct for direct, often diaristic songwriting. Critical responses to the Ego Death live shows in Atlanta, New York, and London consistently emphasized the rawness of the performances and Williams’ willingness to lean into the more vulnerable material that defines the album.
Williams’ second tour announcement of the year reflects a broader trend across the indie and pop landscape: artists once defined by their bands are now sustaining solo touring careers that rival the commercial reach of their original projects. She is doing so without the major-label infrastructure that powered the early Paramore years, which makes the scale of The Hayley Williams Show especially notable as an independent release rollout.
For Williams, the rest of 2026 looks like the busiest stretch of her solo career to date — a year that began in club-sized rooms and is on track to end in stadiums, amphitheaters, and venues across two continents.
