WHAT WENT DOWN
Hayley Williams closed the US leg of her first solo tour with three nights at the Wiltern and a festival set, bringing out a different lineup of collaborators each night. Jenny Lewis, Julien Baker, Jack Antonoff, Bethany Cosentino, and members of Jay Som, Water From Your Eyes, and American Football all made appearances.
THE DETAILS
- The Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party tour wrapped May 13–15 in Los Angeles, followed by Kilby Block Party in Salt Lake City on May 17
- Tuesday's guests included Melina Duterte performing Jay Som's "Past Lives" and Jack Antonoff on "Good Ol' Days"
- Wednesday featured Rachel Brown from Water From Your Eyes on "Discovery Channel" and Williams' new project Power Snatch performing This Is Lorelei's "Perfect Hand" with Nate Amos
- Friday brought Jenny Lewis for Rilo Kiley's "Silver Lining," Reggie Watts, and Julien Baker on "Parachute"
- Williams joined American Football at Kilby Block Party for their 2019 duet "Uncomfortably Numb," marking her first solo festival performance
- European dates start June 5 in Milan, with a September US leg billed as The Hayley Williams Show featuring material from across her solo catalog
THE TAKE
Williams treated the LA run like a rotating guest list rather than a victory lap, pulling from indie veterans and current openers without hierarchy. The September tour promises a broader setlist while this run stayed strictly on Ego Death material.
