ABOUT THE ARTIST

It’s unbelievable that O.A.R. are still together thirty years since their first gig at an eighth grade talent show, but these musicians are no strangers to “unbelievable.” In fact, they’ve quietly shattered expectations at every turn over the last thirty years. Their journey may have started in Maryland, but it’s taken them around the world with multiple sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, north of 1 billion streams, and multiplatinum success. Creating an expansive catalog beginning with 1997’s The Wanderer, they earned RIAA Gold certifications, three Top 15 Billboard 200 debuts, and collaborated with everyone from Robert Redford and Goo Goo Dolls to Wiz Khalifa and DJ Premier. Their latest album, The Arcade, features the fan favorite “In the Clouds.” O.A.R. members, Marc Roberge and Jerry DePizzo, are also founding partners of the Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City, Maryland, a world-class, multi-day celebration of music and community. Working alongside and driven by their talented partner Tim Sweetwood and his team, they helped create a festival that has quickly become a cornerstone of Maryland’s cultural calendar, making a lasting positive impact on the community. “The true reward isn’t just in the music, it’s in the way it uplifts the community and shines a light on the great state of Maryland,” says Jerry DePizzo. Through their charity, Heard The World Fund, O.A.R. have raised millions for education, sustainability, and pediatric cancer causes. Heading into their 30th year in 2026, Marc Roberge, Richard On, Chris Culos, and Jerry DePizzo are still having a blast as brothers—and it shows every time they take the stage.

For the last several months Hayley Williams has been touring her most recent album Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party. The tour has been a celebration of her critically acclaimed GRAMMY and Libera Award nominated album which she’s played in full each night. The full North American, UK and European tour legs sold out in seconds, and has featured numerous surprise guest stars at stops along the way. Now she announces a new era – “The Hayley Williams Show.” “The Hayley Williams Show” will feature material across all three of the singer’s solo albums as well as some exciting surprises.

Hayley Williams is a 3x GRAMMY winning singer, songwriter and musician best known for her role as the frontperson of legendary rock band Paramore. With her incredible range and delivery, Billboard ranked her at #13 on their list of 50 Greatest Rock Singers of All Times saying, “when it comes to singers in contemporary rock, Hayley Williams reigns supreme.” Frequently listed as a source of inspiration from contemporary performers as varied as Chappell Roan, Doechii and Billie Eilish – she’s also appeared on a wide variety of albums and singles as a collaborator and guest vocalist including Turnstile’s latest “Seein’ Stars”, Moses Sumney’s “I Like It I Like It,” and Taylor Swift’s “Castles Crumbling.” Swift went on to have Paramore open the first ever The Eras Tour show that debuted in Arizona and later they went on to open all dates on the European leg of her world tour.

At just 16 she brought Paramore to the masses with the release of their album All We Know Is Falling which was certified Gold and just celebrated its 20 year anniversary last week. The band’s breakthrough came with 2007’s Riot!, powered by the success of the 6X certified platinum single “Misery Business.” In 2009, Brand New Eyes solidified their place in the rock landscape. Paramore’s self-titled 2013 album marked a commercial and critical peak, with the platinum single “Ain’t It Fun” earning Paramore their first Grammy win for ‘Best Rock Song’ in 2015 and further nominations for ‘Best Rock Album.’ 2017’s After Laughter introduced a polished, ‘pop-influenced sound that continued to attract acclaim with the breakout single “Hard Times.” After a long hiatus, in 2023, they returned with This Is Why, a full grown, alternative-leaning record that earned the band two Grammy wins for ‘Best Alternative Song’ and ‘Best Rock Album’ making Paramore the first female-fronted rock band to ever win the category in its 31-year history.

At last year’s 68th annual GRAMMY’s, Hayley Williams racked up an impressive four nominations for Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party. Her album was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album, with nominations for songs “Parachute” in the Best Alternative Music Performance category, “Mirtazapine” in the Best Rock Performance category, and “Glum” in the Best Rock Song category. She has previously been nominated 5 times for her work in Paramore, with 3 wins including Best Rock Album and Best Alternative Performance in 2023. Ego Death is one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year and its success is even more impressive considering it was self-released on Williams’ newly created Post Atlantic Records (distributed by Secretly Distribution). On the same day the GRAMMY’S were announced, the final physical version of the record became available in stores worldwide. The completed album includes 20 songs.

“A surprise release of singles captures Hayley Williams as a superstar two decades in the making. The Paramore vocalists’ new set of solo songs details a bold new direction for the best rock frontwoman of the millennium. 9.0” – Paste

“Never has she sounded more certain with a sonic landscape that is all her own.” – Rolling Stone

“One of our most versatile, effortless rock stars” – Billboard

“Sonically, each track is truly idiosyncratic — though Williams’ heartfelt, personal style, a tug-of-war between all things rough and tender remains throughout.” – Alternative Press

“She’s buffeted from left and right by dissonant guitars, defies them with a barreling punk-pop chorus and reveals serious misgivings” – New York Times

“As one of the few mainstream pop acts brave enough to experiment with album structure, there’s no denying we’re watching the rock star live out her imperial phase in real time.”
– NYLON

“The lyrics are some of Hayley’s most personal and vivid to date, with evocative imagery.” – Brooklyn Vegan

Teddy Swims at Nationwide Arena!

Teddy Swims brings “The Ugly Tour” to Nationwide Arena on Wednesday, September 30th, 2026

Tickets on sale at Ticketmaster.com

ABOUT THE SHOW:

The announcement comes after the start of a brand-new era with “Mr. Know It All,” an instantly catchy and deceptively breezy cut about the pain of romantic self-sabotage. Listen HERE via Warner Records — and watch the visualizer HERE.

“Mr. Know It All” mixes vintage grooves, ’80s rock hook-craft, and lush modern production to build a moody but cool backdrop for Swims’ soul-searching lyrics. Amid sharp pizzicato strings and pillowy guitar, Swims delivers the brutal chorus: “Shoulda told you I could see this coming, like I’m lookin’ right into a crystal ball / When I fall in love it’s with misfortune, oh, I wish I wasn’t Mr. Know It All.”

Swims performed the song live for the first time last Friday at his star studded mainstage Coachella set – which featured appearances from David Lee Roth, Joe Jonas, and Vanessa Carlton. Tune into Teddy Swims’ set at 5:20pm PT on Friday April 25th on the Coachella Livestream HERE.

Last year was especially monumental for Swims, who wrapped a sold-out global tour, earned his second career GRAMMY® nod, and made history with his Diamond-certified smash “Lose Control,” which set the record for the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 hit after spending 112 weeks on the chart (and it only left due to a rule meant to make room for others). In addition to topping the Hot 100 and five radio formats, the hit has surpassed 5 billion global streams.

Taking a much deserved victory lap, Swims also released his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) in 2025. The definitive and dynamic 32-track collection unveiled the full vision behind his blockbuster two-part debut album, arriving with six previously unheard tracks. Among those was the emotional “God Went Crazy,” which inspired UPROXX to write, “I could see this lovey-dovey ballad still making waves years down the line at weddings and such.”

Swims also included a song about his newborn son, “Small Hands,” adding extra significance to a tracklist that traces his wild rise across a series of enduring singles from his record-breaking sets I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) and (Part 2). Among those: “Bad Dreams,” “Guilty,” “Are You Even Real” with GIVĒON, “The Door,” and, of course, “Lose Control.”

Still in full stride, Swims recently teamed with DJ/producer David Guetta and Tones And I for “Gone Gone Gone,” a chart-climbing ode to the pull of toxic love driven by undeniable dance-floor rhythms and gospel energy. He also joined Summer Walker for “Allegedly.”

Swims opened the year announcing his Summer 2026 East Coast headline dates alongside a run of major festival appearances. Before kicking off his string of headliners in Uncasville, CT — and after Coachella — Swims will perform at Stagecoach, BottleRock, New Orleans Jazz Fest, and Bonnaroo before his string of headline European shows.

With a meteoric climb behind him, “Mr. Know It All” out now, and a handful of thrilling dates ahead, Swims is embarking on what looks to be his biggest, boldest, and brightest era yet.
