Hayley Williams Announces Petals for Armor Tour
Hayley Williams has announced a tour for her upcoming solo project, Petals for Armor, out May 8th.
The Petals for Armor Tour will begin May 13th with a set of dates in Europe and the U.K., followed by a North American tour kicking off May 28th at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, Washington. The route will feature shows at rhe Wiltern in Los Angeles, Brooklyn Steel in New York and a special homecoming show at Nashville, Tennessee’s Brooklyn Bowl on June 29th, which will also close the tour. British singer-songwriter will support on all North American dates of the tour.
In her tour announcement, Williams wrote: “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 (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.”
She continued, “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.”
