Hot on the heels of receiving four Grammy nominations, Hayley Williams is taking her show on the road.
Williams’ upcoming tour, “Hayley Williams at a Bachelorette Party,” won’t skip the bachelorette capital of the U.S.
On April 25 and 27, Williams will hit the stage at the Ryman Auditorium in her home city, Nashville.
On Nov. 10, the 36-year-old alt-pop legend and Paramore frontwoman officially announced the tour dates in support of her August solo record, “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.”
Days earlier, she quietly leaked the tour dates on her website via a picture.
Williams dropped her album in a similar fashion, posting files of the songs online before uploading her record to digital streaming platforms.
Williams’ 20-date North American tour will kick off in Atlanta on March 28 before stopping in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Minneapolis, Los Angeles and more. In June, Williams will begin the U.K. and European leg of her tour.
At most shows, opener Water From Your Eyes will support. Some nights will include performances from Snuggle and Tiberius b.
On Nov. 7, Williams was nominated for Grammy Awards for best alternative album, best rock performance for her track “Mirtazapine,” best alternative music performance for “Parachute” and best rock song for “Glum.”
How to buy tickets to see Hayley Williams on ‘Bachelorette’ tour
On Instagram, Williams shared a plan to ensure that tickets land in the hands of her fans at reasonable prices.
In order to combat scalpers and bots, Williams is partnering with a platform called Openstage, which will host a verified presale registration.
Tickets will be sold on a first-come first-served basis, and registering for the pre-sale is the best chance to buy tickets, Williams said.
“I know this won’t be perfect,” she wrote. “You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to buy tickets to see my show, but unfortunately, it’s a broken and convoluted system.”
Fans can register at hayleywilliams.club.os.fan/presale until 9 a.m. CT on Nov. 11 to receive a unique “Ticket Unlock” code.
Fans will be granted access to a ticket presale on Nov. 14 at 10 a.m. local time.
