Hayley Williams covers Failure and Björk with Ken Andrews at G*VE A F*CK LA benefit show

Hayley Williams has performed her first live set of 2025, appearing at this week’s G*VE A F*CK LA benefit show.

The Paramore singer joined Ken Andrews onstage at the Hollywood Palladium on February 5 for a two-song set, covering Failure’s Daylight and Björk’s All Is Full Of Love.

G*VE A F*CK also hosted appearances from FINNEAS, Courtney Barnett, St. Vincent, Kevin Morby, Lucy Dacus and more, with 100 per cent of the net proceeds going to a selection of local charities (Altadena Girls, Friends In Deed, One Voice and Pasadena Humane Society) following the devastating fires at the start of the year.

On top of that, Hayley is also taking part in the forthcoming G*VE A F*CK charity auction, where the outfits she wore in the Running Out Of Time and This Is Why music videos will be available to bid on, as well as a stage-worn ensemble from The Eras Tour.

For Hayley, this could all be a sign of more to come, too, as recently she said that she was “going to try and finally play some shows [in 2025] that would’ve happened nearly 5 years ago now” (referring to her planned solo dates that were cancelled due to COVID). Watch this space…
