After weeks of speculation and direct teases from venues, Hayley Williams has officially announced her first-ever solo Australian shows.
The Tennessee singer-songwriter and erstwhile Paramore frontwoman will perform at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Wednesday, February 10th and the Forum in Melbourne a week later on Wednesday, February 17th.
This comes after both venues shared images of their respective marquees on social media yesterday (September 17th), with each mocked up to display corresponding lyrics from Williams’ track ‘Dead Horse’.
In an effort to verify that tickets are being bought by and sold to genuine fans of Williams and not bots or scalpers, Frontier Touring are implementing a similar tactic to their recently-announced Radiohead tour – and one that Williams herself has used.
Those interested in purchasing tickets will be asked to register their details with the company, and those who do will be randomly selected to have the opportunity to buy next week.
Registration for the ticket ballot is open now, and will remain open until 8am AEST this Sunday (September 20th). The form, as well as a full list of FAQs, can be found here.
The invite-only ticket sale will commence from 10am AEST on Tuesday, September 22nd.
Williams’ current world tour, dubbed The Hayley Williams Show, began earlier this month with a date in West Palm Beach, Florida. It is currently working its way through North America, with the next stop at the time of writing being at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium.
Her solo career was launched during COVID lockdowns, releasing her debut album Petals for Armor in May 2020 and its follow-up Flowers for Vases / Decansos in February 2021. A tour in support of the releases was planned, but was ultimately shelved due to ongoing restrictions on live music at the time.
As such, Williams has been touring extensively since the release of her third studio album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, in 2025.
The singer has been especially busy of late – not only touring as a solo artist, but collaborating with artists such as David Byrne and Moses Sumney on new music and forming a new band, Power Snatch. Most recently, she cameoed on the Netflix animated series Dang! as herself.
