Hayley Williams, lead singer of Paramore, has announced her first-ever solo tour following the release of her latest album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. The tour dates were subtly “leaked” by Williams via a shared image titled “oops.” The North American leg kicks off on March 28, 2026, in Atlanta and concludes with two shows at Los Angeles’ Wiltern on May 12 and 13. Key stops include Nashville, New York, Austin, and Chicago, with a European leg planned for June 2026. Fans had anticipated this tour since Williams first hinted at a solo trek in 2024.

Quotes and Reactions
Reflecting on her first solo tour, Williams shared, “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 than to be in a room, on a stage, in front of the people who I’ve grown up singing my lungs out for.”
Music analysts note that Williams’ decision to tour solo could expand her reach beyond Paramore’s established fanbase while giving her an opportunity to showcase new material.
Impact Analysis
The tour is expected to solidify Williams’ presence as a solo artist. Fans can anticipate performances of tracks from Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, as well as selections from her previous solo projects. Industry observers suggest that a successful solo tour could influence festival bookings, streaming performance, and overall visibility for Williams’ solo catalog.
What’s Next
After completing the North American leg in May 2026, Williams will perform a two-week European tour in June. Fans and ticket holders can expect official announcements regarding venues and dates in early 2026. Merchandise and VIP packages are likely to follow shortly after the official tour launch.
