Williams will also be taking her Petals For Armor project around the UK, including a show at London's Electric Brixton on 16 May.

She says of her first solo tour, "Wow. I am going on tour. Myself. It’s not Paramore and truthfully, it’s just a little terrifying. But if I know anything, it’s that there’s no safer place (besides at home with my dog) than to be on a stage, in front of the people who I’ve grown up singing my lungs out for. There was a time I thought I wouldn’t tour Petals For Armor. What a joke. I must."

Williams adds, "It’s going to be so satisfying to feel the energy of a crowd that close again, especially while performing songs that feel so vital for me; songs I have never performed before for an audience."

Earlier this week, Williams revealed that boygenius contribute vocals to one of her Petals For Armor tracks.

Hayley Williams' Petals For Armor album arrives 8 May via Atlantic Records, and is available to pre-order now. Find a full list of her tour dates on petalsforarmor.com.
