Hayley Williams Reunites With Zedd to Perform ‘Stay the Night’ for First Time in 12 Years
The Paramore frontwoman brought the EDM star on stage at her Hollywood Bowl show.
On Monday night, October 5th, Hayley Williams surprised her audience by inviting Zedd onto the stage during her Hollywood Bowl show in Los Angeles. This marked their first live performance of the song "Stay the Night" together in 12 years. The performance was a stripped-back version of the original track, highlighting Williams' powerful vocals instead of the usual polished EDM production.
"Stay the Night" was first released in 2012 as a collaboration between Williams and Zedd, becoming a massive hit on the Billboard Dance Club Songs and Dance Airplay charts in 2013. For Zedd, this reunion was particularly significant as the song came after his hit album "Clarity," which contained the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit "Clarity" with Foxes, and earned him a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in 2014.
More recently, Williams has been incorporating various nostalgic songs into her tour, including a performance of B.o.B's "Airplanes" with opener Rico Nasty during a September concert in New York. The Hayley Williams Show tour is currently nearing its end in Los Angeles, with the final Hollywood Bowl show scheduled for Tuesday, October 6th.
Following this, Williams will continue her tour through South America in November and then move on to Australia and Europe in 2027.
