Hayley Williams has announced the Petals For Armor Tour.
The Paramore vocalist will begin the European leg in Amsterdam on May 13, following which she'll appear at the Great Escape festival in Brighton on May 15 and Electric Brixton in London the day after.
Williams has also lined up a Paris show on May 18 and Cologne the next day. She'll be joined by special guests the Ninth Wave for all European headline dates.
Following this, she'll return to the US to kick off the North American leg of the tour in Seattle on May 28. Support for that run will come from Arlo Parks. Tickets for all dates go on general sale at 10am local time on March 13.
The tour shares its name with Williams' debut solo album, 'Petals For Armor', which is due out on May 8. She said:
“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.
"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.”
