Hayley Williams Is Taking Her Solo Show to Amphitheaters This Fall

If you tried to get tickets to Hayley Williams' current theater run and got shut out, I have very good news for you. Williams just announced a huge expansion of her first-ever solo tour, and this time she's moving into amphitheaters. The new dates are being billed as "The Hayley Williams Show" and they kick off September 3rd in West Palm Beach, running through mid-October across the US before heading to Latin America in November.

The support lineup alone is worth the ticket price. Magdalena Bay and Rico Nasty will open the US dates, while Annie DiRusso joins for the Latin America and Puerto Rico shows. DiRusso has already popped up as a surprise guest at a few stops on the current run, so that pairing makes a lot of sense.

A Bigger Stage for a Bigger Show

This expansion isn't random. Williams' current theater tour in support of Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party sold out practically everywhere in seconds. Shows at iconic spots like Forest Hills Stadium in Queens and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles were gone immediately after being announced. The demand is clearly there, and amphitheaters are the logical next step.

Here's what's really interesting about the fall dates. The setlists are going to be different from the current run. Right now, Williams has been playing Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party front to back most nights, plus a Nina Simone cover. But "The Hayley Williams Show" will pull from all three of her solo albums, including Petals for Armor and Flowers for Vases, along with what's being described as "exciting surprises." Whether that means Paramore songs or more special guest moments, I'll let you speculate on your own. But I wouldn't bet against either.

How to Get Tickets

Presale registration through Williams' HW HQ fan club opened today, May 7th, at 3:00 p.m. ET. The artist presale starts Tuesday, May 12th at 10:00 a.m. local time, and general on-sale is Thursday, May 14th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.

I'll be real, if these sell anything like the theater dates did, you're going to want to be locked in for that presale. Even with the jump to amphitheaters, I wouldn't count on tickets sitting around.

One thing worth noting: US tickets will use Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange, meaning they're non-transferable and can only be resold at face value on Ticketmaster. That's a big win for fans who don't want to deal with scalper markups. Also, $1 from every North American ticket sold goes directly to REVERB and Support+Feed.

Why This Tour Feels Like a Moment

It's hard to overstate where Williams is at right now. Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, released in August 2025 under her independent imprint Post Atlantic, landed a 91 on Metacritic and earned four GRAMMY nominations. Rolling Stone put it at number nine on their best albums of 2025 list. This is her first release since Paramore parted ways with Atlantic Records in 2023 after more than 20 years, and the whole thing feels like Williams operating at a creative peak with zero compromises.

The current theater tour has backed that up. Two sold-out nights at House of Blues in Boston pulled in nearly 4,850 combined tickets and almost $320,000 in gross, per Pollstar. That's theater-level demand, and now she's scaling up to venues like Shoreline Amphitheatre, Pine Knob, and two nights at the Hollywood Bowl.

She's also been making headlines beyond the setlist. At a recent New York show, Williams brought out Jason Isbell for a performance of Cover Me Up, and she had American Football's Mike Kinsella join her in Chicago for Parachute. Noah Kahan even showed up at one point. The "exciting surprises" teased for the fall shows suddenly feel very real.

Don't sleep on this one. Register for the presale through HW HQ today and be ready when tickets go live on May 14th.
