Here’s what Hayley Williams played as she kicked off ‘The Hayley Williams Show’ tour in West Palm Beach
Hayley Williams launched her solo tour "The Hayley Williams Show" on 3 September 2026 at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, Florida, opening with a run of live debuts and a cover of Nina Simone's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The Paramore frontwoman drew on all three of her solo albums, though the setlist was dominated by tracks from her latest record, "Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party", released last year, marking a significant live outing for the project since its release.
Of the roughly 24 songs performed, eight were live debuts, including "Just a Lover", which opened the show, alongside "Cinnamon", "Dead Horse" and "Pure Love". The main set featured cuts such as "Ice in My OJ", "Kill Me" and "Glum", while the three-song encore comprised "Mirtazapine", "Brotherly Hate" and "Parachute"; Williams also worked a Portishead snippet into "Simmer" and closed the night with a message to fans urging them to look out for one another. The tour follows her recent announcement of UK and European dates for next summer, including stops at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and London's Alexandra Palace, and comes after NME awarded "Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party" a five-star review.
