Hayley Williams has made it clear that she is drawing a firm boundary ahead of her 2026 solo tour: fans who hold racist, sexist, or transphobic views are not welcome at her shows.
In a recent interview with Clash Magazine, Williams emphasized she wants her concerts to be explicitly inclusive spaces where every fan can “feel welcome to the party.” She added: “I don’t want racists around, and I don’t want sexist people around, and I don’t want people there who think that trans people are a burden.”
“I think that’s a hard line for me now,” Williams said, noting she hopes those who hold “harmful ideologies” will enter and “realize that the gang’s all here, all banded together around something positive.” She concluded: “All are welcome if you believe all should be welcome… If you don’t believe that, you’re not welcome.”
The tour supports her latest solo album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, and — after an initial announcement — the run was recently expanded due to what the singer called “overwhelming demand.”
