Singer’s For Cryin’ Out Loud! Tour kicked off Thursday at the Ryman Auditorium
Finneas’ For Cryin’ Out Loud! Tour kicked off Thursday night in Nashville, where he was joined onstage by a surprise guest… no, it wasn’t Billie Eilish. Instead, Hayley Williams made a cameo appearance.
For the final song of the evening at the Ryman Auditorium, Finneas and the Paramore singer delivered a rendition of that band’s “Crushcrushcrush,” which marked the first time Williams had sung the Riot! track live since 2018.
Both Finneas and Williams were on the bill at last week’s G*ve a F*ck benefit concert in Los Angeles, although they didn’t perform together at the time. Instead, Williams played a pair of acoustic covers — Failure’s “Daylight” and Bjork’s “All Is Full of Love,” both with Failure’s Ken Andrews on guitar — and staged a semi-Rilo Kiley reunion, while Finneas’ two-song set featured his solo songs “For Cryin’ Out Loud!” and “Only a Lifetime.”
Finneas’ 14-date tour continues Friday in Atlanta and runs through March 5, concluding at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium.
Williams has also hinted at a return to the road this year with the long-awaited solo trek in support of her album Petals for Armor, as the initial tour was canceled due to the Covid pandemic.
