Hayley Williams

Hayley Williams brings her solo work to Manchester Academy, Manchester, on 22 June 2026. First known as the voice and songwriter of Paramore, she uses her own name to explore a more intimate side of her writing. Petals for Armor (2020) moves between alternative pop and indie rock with discreet electronic textures, putting the grain of her voice and the clarity of her lyrics up front. Flowers for Vases / Descansos (2021) pares things back toward folk and indie pop, with songs that breathe and sit close to the bone.

On stage, this material takes a lean, focused shape: tight song structures, nuanced melodies, dynamics that shift without excess. The set maps her trajectory from emo and pop-punk roots to a wider pop palette, informed by past crossovers with hip-hop and electro-pop collaborators. Expect a concert that centers her songwriting and interpretation, carried by arrangements that leave space for tension, groove and detail. A straightforward rendezvous with an artist refining her own voice, at Manchester Academy on 22 June 2026.
