Hayley Williams will be performing at the 2026 edition of the legendary Newport Folk Festival, taking place July 24-26 in Newport, Rhode Island.

The Paramore frontwoman’s set is billed as “Hayley Williams & Friends,” suggesting she’ll be joined by some special guests.

Tickets to Newport 2026 are sold out, but you can sign up for the waitlist at NewportFolk.org.

Williams’ Newport performance will follow her debut solo tour, which kicks off in March. She’d originally planned to embark on her first solo tour in 2020 before it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Williams released a new solo album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, in 2025.
