News Hayley Williams announces ‘Petals For Armor’ tour

And she’ll be heading to the seaside for a special show at this year’s The Great Escape!
With her debut solo album ‘Petals for Armor’ set to arrive in May, Hayley Williams has just announced some brand new tour dates, including a special show on 15th May at this year’s The Great Escape festival!
“Wow. I am going on tour. Myself. It’s not Paramore and truthfully, it’s just a little terrifying,” she says. “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.”
