Hayley Williams Announces Petals For Armor Tour

Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has announced the details for a global tour that she will be launching in support of her forthcoming debut solo album.

The new album will be entitled "Petals For Armor" and is set to be released on May 8th. A few days later, Hayley will launch the European leg of the Petals For Armor Tour, which will be followed by a North American leg.

She had this to say, "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." See the dates below:
