Hayley Williams

On 26 June 2026 at O2 Academy Glasgow, Hayley Williams steps out under her own name. First known as the vocalist and songwriter fronting Paramore, she has built a solo catalogue that turns the volume down just enough to bring the writing into focus. Petals for Armor opened the door in 2020 with alternative pop and indie rock shaded by discreet electronic textures, placing voice and lyrics at the center. A year later, Flowers for Vases / Descansos stripped things back to a more folk-leaning, bedroom intimacy.

On stage, that palette becomes a set moving between taut, rhythmic songs and quiet, close-mic moments, carried by her precise phrasing and melodic instinct. Pieces drawn across her solo chapters often appear reshaped for the room, channeling the energy she has honed since the mid-2000s. Williams favors concise forms and nuanced arrangements, letting personal themes and small details do the work. In Glasgow, a familiar voice takes a different route: direct and unguarded.
