Hayley Williams

Hayley Williams steps out solo at Poolen in Copenhagen on June 16, 2026. Known first as Paramore’s vocalist and songwriter, she’s built a parallel path where the voice and the writing sit at the center. Her solo work moves away from full-band urgency toward tighter song forms and a more intimate register, balancing alternative pop, indie rock and subtle electronics. Petals for Armor (2020) charted that terrain with muted synths, elastic rhythms and melodic lines that leave space for the words; Flowers for Vases / Descansos (2021) pared things back even further, closer to folk and indie pop, with a stripped, home-recorded feel.

On stage, these tracks unfold with nuanced dynamics and clear contours: hushed guitar figures, light percussions, minimal synth pulses, and vocals pushed forward. Still closely linked to Paramore, Williams has also widened her palette through one-off collaborations in hip-hop and electro-pop, from B.o.B to Zedd, a background that occasionally surfaces in her textures and grooves. The set leans into personal themes and melodic detail, bringing her songwriting into focus outside the band framework, in a live format that stays lean and direct.
