Hayley Williams has announced her eagerly awaited first solo tour. The “Petals For Armor Tour” officially gets underway on May 13th with a series of European dates, including shows in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. North American dates begin May 28th at Seattle, WA’s Moore Theatre and then travel to Los Angeles, CA’s Wiltern on June 1st, Brooklyn, NY’s Brooklyn Steel on June 24th, and through to a very special homecoming concert set on June 29th at Nashville, TN’s Brooklyn Bowl. The Ninth Wave will support all European headline dates, while Arlo Parks will provide support on all US dates.
“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.” – Hayley Williams
