If you have a bachelorette party on your calendar for this weekend but realize you don’t actually know anyone who’s getting married, there may be an explanation: you probably just have tickets to one of the city’s most highly anticipated tours. Hayley Williams At A Bachelorette Party is officially headed to NYC!
And if not the latter? We’re not totally sure, actually, that’s sort of a unique predicament.
The three-night residency at the Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom (April 9th, 10th, and 12, 2026) marks the Paramore frontwoman’s very first solo tour.
After the 2020 Petals for Armor tour was indefinitely postponed due to the pandemic, fans have waited six years to see Hayley take the stage solo. This tour follows the surprise release of her third solo album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, released under her own independent label, Post Atlantic.
Weather you have your bachelorette party invitation (or ticket, in this case) hanging on your fridge or you’ll be tuning in via social media, our favorite city will surely be buzzing this weekend. Here’s how to celebrate the tour right here in NYC.
Head to Metropolis Vintage
Hayley has called this her “must-visit” when she’s in our favorite city.
A staple of the East Village, this is where she hunts for the rare, thrashed-in punk and hardcore t-shirts that have defined her style for two decades. Whether you’re looking for a 90s band tee or just want to soak up the grit of the NYC underground, it’s the ultimate pre-show stop.
Spend a night out at Beauty Bar
This East Village staple is the ultimate intersection of two of Hayley’s worlds: high-voltage hair and iconic music.
Originally a 1960s hair salon, Beauty Bar still offers its famous “Martinis & Manicures” special. It’s the perfect place to sit in a vintage chrome beehive dryer, sip a cocktail, and channel the bright-orange energy of early Paramore or your favorite Good Dye Young shade.
Go out for mimosas (or simply just orange juice)
Ice in your OJ, anyone?
Inspired by the album’s citrusy, sharp energy, grab a high-end orange juice (or a celebratory mimosa) to start your day. For a classic East Village vibe that Hayley loves, head to Veselka for juice and pierogis.
To elevate the vibes a bit, the city is home to many bottomless brunch spots where the OJ and champagne will surely be flowing.
Get as close to being stranded on Mars as possible at the Hayden Planetarium
If you’re going to get stranded on Mars, you might as well be with someone you’re not willing to quit on. In the fan-favorite track “I Won’t Quit On You,” Hayley uses the vastness of space as a metaphor for a love that survives even the most alien distances.
Channel that by heading to the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History to catch the immersive Encounters in the Milky Way show, or visit the 360° Mars exhibit to see the Red Planet up close. It’s a literal way to live out the lyric while finding your way back to “home” (which, as we know, is not a place, but a person—or maybe just the front row of a Hayley Williams set).
Step out to a karaoke Bar
What better way to honor the album’s iconic title track than by belting it at a titular karaoke bar?
NYC is home to countless spots where you can grab a mic and take the stage with your bachelorette party crew.
For a moment of quiet reflection, head to the West Village for a tea service at Tea & Sympathy.
Hayley has a well-documented love for British comfort and cozy, intimate spaces. It’s the perfect place to sit with the vulnerability of the new record before the high-octane energy of the Hammerstein Ballroom.
If you’re Running Out of Time before the show starts, head to The Strand. Hayley is an voracious reader, often sharing her Top Books lists. Spend an hour getting lost in their 18 miles of books for some afternoon reflection.
If the Petals for Armor era taught us anything, it’s that there is strength in the fragile and the fleeting. This weekend (April 11th–12th, 2026) is the absolute peak of NYC’s cherry blossom season.
For the ultimate Watch Me While I Bloom aesthetic, hop on the Roosevelt Island Tram. The island’s waterfront paths are currently blanketed in Yoshino petals—creating a literal “pink snow” effect.
