Hayley Williams announced Thursday she is hitting the road to support the release of her debut solo album Petals for Armor.
“Wow. I am going on tour. Myself. It’s not Paramore and truthfully, it’s just a little terrifying,” Williams said, in a release. "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.”
The North American leg of the tour kicks off in Seattle on May 28 and includes one Canadian stop – on June 22 at Rebel in Toronto, with special guest Arlo Parks.

“There was a time I thought I wouldn’t tour Petals For Armor,” the singer said of the album, which drops on May 8. “What a joke. I must.”
Williams promised the shows will be “hot, sweaty, and intimate” in “rooms that Paramore outgrew a decade ago.”
She added: “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.
