Hayley Williams has announced a set of UK shows for summer 2027, extending a European visit built around a support slot at Slane Castle. Clash reported the dates on September 1, and the run is logged on the tour guide.

The Paramore singer moved into a solo era with last year's Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, and the new concert format, called The Hayley Williams Show, draws on material from all three of her solo albums plus what she has described as surprises.

The European leg opens on June 7 in Milan, then takes in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, including AFAS Live in Amsterdam on June 17.

The UK dates begin at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on June 23. Cardiff's Utilita Arena follows on June 30, and the run closes at Alexandra Palace in London on July 2.

Between the Glasgow and Cardiff shows she supports Fontaines D.C. at their Slane Castle date in County Meath, a bill that puts her in front of a far larger crowd than her own headline rooms.

Williams has spent the year working outside Paramore as well as inside her own catalogue, launching Power Snatch with Daniel James, whose second EP arrived unannounced, and guesting on Remi Wolf's single Twiggy. Fontaines D.C., her Slane hosts, were covered here in their single Marianne, and the run is a rock and pop solo proposition rather than a band one.
