Hayley Williams - Franklin Music Hall 2026

Hayley Williams brought her solo tour to Philadelphia's Franklin Music Hall in 2026 for a show that felt completely separate from her work with Paramore. Rather than leaning on the familiar hits that made her famous, Williams focused almost entirely on her solo material, giving the performance a more intimate, experimental and personal feel. The set moved through songs from Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, including “Mirtazapine,” “Showbiz,” “Disappearing Man,” “Zissou,” “Hard,” “Kill Me,” “Glum,” “True Believer” and “Good Ol' Days.” She also delivered a memorable version of Nina Simone's “Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.” Williams was in terrific vocal form throughout, shifting easily between delicate moments and the more explosive sections of the set. The atmosphere inside Franklin Music Hall was enthusiastic without feeling like a typical Paramore arena crowd. The biggest surprise came when Philadelphia producer and Williams collaborator Steph Marziano joined her for “Parachute.” It was a fitting emotional ending to a show that demonstrated Williams' willingness to move beyond expectations. For fans who only know her from Paramore, this was a fascinating look at another side of one of rock's most distinctive voices.
