Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has big dreams for 2025, including embarking on her first ever solo tour.
The pop-punk icon released her debut solo LP Petals for Armor in 2020 and was scheduled to take the record on the road that same year, before COVID bulldozed all live plans. By the time touring was back in business, Williams had already shifted gears back to Paramore, with the band dropping their sixth studio LP This Is Why in 2023 (and celebrating it with an Australian tour).

Now though, in celebration of her 36th birthday, the versatile singer-songwriter is feeling like she has some unfinished business.
“Thanks for the birthday wishes. It’s beautiful to feel seen and celebrated,” Williams posted on her Instagram stories just before the New Year. “35 felt like tilling soil and throwing little seeds down. Waiting, waiting, waiting to see. 36 is exciting and a little scary, already. So much to hope for. I’m still in the dirt, ready for whatever might grow. Fruit?”
Then, in a cheekily crossed-out paragraph, she added: “I’m going to try and finally play some shows next year that would’ve happened nearly 5 years ago now. That is, if the world doesn’t fucking stop before then. Here’s hoping. Hayley.”
