Hayley Williams announces UK and Europe 2027 tour
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has announced a full-scale UK and Europe tour for summer 2027, following a run of smaller UK shows earlier this year that left many fans unable to get tickets. The announcement came via Instagram on 1 September, timed to coincide with the launch of her North American solo tour, "The Hayley Williams Show," which opens in West Palm Beach, Florida, on 3 September.
The nine-date European and UK run begins on 7 June at Carraponte in Milan, taking in Rome, Brussels, Paris and Amsterdam, before arriving in the UK from 23 June with shows at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and in Cardiff, finishing at London's Alexandra Palace on 2 July. She will also play Slane Castle in Ireland, supporting Fontaines DC. To stop tickets falling into the hands of resellers, Williams is requiring fans to register with a verified email and phone number for a presale by 10am UK time on 3 September, with the presale running from 4 September and general sale opening on 8 September.

Paramore's Hayley Williams has built a reputation both as the band's frontwoman and, more recently, as a solo artist releasing music under her own name. Earlier in 2026 she played a handful of smaller UK shows, but demand far outstripped supply, leaving many fans without tickets.
She has now announced a much larger UK and Europe tour for summer 2027, spanning nine dates across cities including Milan, Rome, Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Glasgow, Cardiff and London, plus a support slot for Fontaines DC at Slane Castle in Ireland. It comes as she also launches a separate North American solo tour, "The Hayley Williams Show".
The ticketing process matters here because reselling is a known problem for high-demand tours, driving up prices for genuine fans. Williams is asking fans to register in advance with a verified email and phone number ahead of a presale, with general sale to follow shortly after.
Full account
Hayley Williams, the Paramore frontwoman who has built an increasingly substantial solo career in recent years, has confirmed that her live show will travel to the UK and mainland Europe next summer. The news was shared via Instagram on 1 September and extends "The Hayley Williams Show" tour, which has already taken in more intimate UK dates earlier this year and, more recently, opened across North and South America, including a performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The timing of the announcement coincides with the North American leg resuming, with the next US show due on 3 September in West Palm Beach, Florida, ahead of a run of dates that continues through to early October.
The European run opens on 7 June at a venue in Milan (given as Carroponte or Carraponte depending on the report), before moving on to Rome, Brussels, Paris and Amsterdam. Williams then heads to the UK and Ireland, playing Glasgow's OVO Hydro, a Cardiff arena show, and closing out the leg at London's Alexandra Palace on 2 July. Also included is a support slot for Fontaines D.C.'s large homecoming concert at Slane Castle in County Meath, announced separately on 31 August. Accounts of the running order are not entirely consistent, with the Slane date positioned either just before or just after the Cardiff show depending on the source, and reports also differ on whether eight or nine shows make up the full run, likely reflecting whether the Slane support slot is counted alongside the headline dates.
Keen to avoid a repeat of the difficulties fans faced securing tickets for her smaller-scale UK shows earlier this year, Williams has introduced a verified registration system for this tour. Prospective ticket buyers must supply and confirm an email address and phone number in order to receive a unique access code, with registration open from 1 September until mid-morning on 3 September UK time. A presale using those codes is due to follow on 4 September, with general sale opening on 8 September, both at 10am local time in each market. The Slane Castle support show operates on a separate schedule, with tickets for that date going on sale on 3 September in step with the wider Fontaines D.C. show.
The tour draws on Williams's solo catalogue to date, comprising 2020's Petals for Armor, 2022's Flowers for Vases / Descansos, and last year's surprise release Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, which was well received critically, earning a five-star review and a top-ten placing in at least one outlet's albums-of-the-year list. Coverage of the new European dates also pointed out that they fall around the same period as Glastonbury 2027, fuelling fan speculation about a possible festival appearance, though nothing of the sort has been announced. Williams's North American shows are supported by Magdalena Bay and Rico Nasty, with a portion of ticket sales there going to environmental and food-relief charities.
Where outlets differ
One report gives the Milan venue as 'Carraponte', the other as 'Carroponte'.
Total show count differs: one source says nine shows, the other says eight, likely depending on whether the Slane Castle support slot is included.
The running order around the Cardiff and Slane Castle dates is presented differently by each source — one implies Slane comes after Cardiff, the other lists Slane before Cardiff (26 June vs 30 June).
One outlet frames the tour mainly around new UK/Europe dates and the resale-prevention ticketing process, giving detailed presale timings; the other frames it more as a continuation of a tour that has already crossed the US and South America (including a Hollywood Bowl show) and gives less detail on the verification process but includes a full city-by-city date list.
Only one source elaborates on Williams's album history, critical reception (including a five-star review and year-end list placement) and a new musical side-project, while the other omits this wider career context.
Only one source explicitly links the new tour dates to the Glastonbury 2027 timeframe.
