Hayley Williams at Austin City Limits

Hayley Williams is in Austin this weekend, but the interesting part is not just that she’s playing ACL Live. It’s that these May 2 and May 3 shows are part of her first-ever solo tour, under the very Hayley title “At A Bachelorette Party,” and Austin ended up with two nights after demand pushed a second date onto the schedule. That makes this less like a routine tour stop and more like a small event for Paramore fans who have mostly known her through the band. ### What’s actually happening in Austin? Williams is playing ACL Live at the Moody Theater on Saturday, May 2, 2026, and Sunday, May 3, 2026. Both shows are listed for 7:00 p.m., and both are under the full tour name, “Good Dye Young Presents: Hayley Williams At A Bachelorette Party.” Water From Your Eyes is the opener for the Austin dates. there two nights? Austin was not originally a two-night stop. A second date was added last November after what was described as strong demand for the tour’s expansion dates. That matters because Austin is also the only Texas stop on the run, so fans across the state are basically funneled into these two Moody Theater shows. ### Why is this a bigger deal than a normal tour stop? Because Williams has spent two decades being known first as Paramore’s frontperson. This tour is the first time she’s doing a full solo run under her own banner, which changes the frame completely. Fans are not just showing up for a familiar voice — they’re seeing what a Hayley Williams show looks like when it is not built around Paramore as the main unit. ### What is she touring behind? The tour is built around *Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party*, the album released on November 7, 2025. The Austin date announcement said Williams would perform that album in full at every stop. So if you’re wondering whether this is just a greatest-hits set with a few new songs mixed in, turns out the core idea is much more album-forward than that. ### Will this still feel like a Paramore-adjacent show? Almost certainly, yes — even if the pitch is “solo tour.” ACL Live’s event page leans hard on Williams’ Paramore history, from *Riot!* through *This Is Why*, because that is still the biggest shared vocabulary between her and the crowd. So the appeal here is a mix: the ors know her as the singer behind “Misery Business,” “Ain’t It Fun,” and the rest. ### What’s the catch with tickets? The ticketing rules are unusually tight. AXS lists a strict four-ticket limit per household, says orders that break the rule can be canceled, and notes that tickets are handled through AXS Mobile ID. Tickets are also marked non-transferable on the event page. Basically, the setup looks designed to reduce scalping and keep more seats in actual fans’ hands. ### Is there anything else attached to the show? Yes — $1 from every ticket goes to The Ally Coalition, which supports LGBTQ+ youth. It’s a small per-ticket number, but it fits the broader Hayley Williams world, where the show is not just merch, lights, and a setlist. There’s usually a values layer built into the package. online If you’re in Austin this weekend, this is not just “Hayley Williams plays downtown.” It’s the Texas stop of her first solo tour, expanded to two nights, built around a full-album performance, and staged in one of the city’s signature rooms. For fans, that’s the draw — not just seeing her live, but seeing what she sounds like when the whole night is finally hers.
