Hayley Williams - Parachute - Live from Manchester Academy - Monday June 22nd 2026

Hayley Williams performing Parachute as the final song on the first night of the Manchester leg of her Hayley Williams at a Bachelorette Party Tour at Manchester Academy on Monday, 22nd June 2026. It was an incredibly warm evening - so much so that the gig had to be stopped four times for incidents - and I started about four from the front. However, it very quickly grew far too warm for me to stay there, so I ended up having to decamp to the bar a little further back and to the right side of the venue - hence, I'm afraid, the visual quality of the footage with my phone's (Google Pixel 7) zoom having to work overtime. I can also only apologise for the rando phones in front of me that keep creeping into shot - I am not a very tall man. Still, it was a fantastic cap to an amazing performance and night. I originally had a ticket for Hayley's 2020 solo shows until they were cancelled, so this was a long time coming. It was also the first gig and indeed public event I'd attended since my mother passed last year, so it meant a lot to me.
