Looking for a whole new experience in her beloved long-running career, Paramore wonder woman Hayley Williams has just announced her first-ever solo tour in support of her latest project Petals For Armor.
“Wow, I am going on tour. Myself. It’s not Paramore and truthfully, it’s just a little terrifying,” says the powerful frontwoman about her upcoming North American, UK, and European trek. “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.”
Williams added, “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.”
Touching on the up-close 22-date tour, the fun-loving vocalist said, “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.”
