Annie DiRusso Announces Tour Dates Supporting Hayley Williams In Latin America

ANNIE DIRUSSO ANNOUNCES TOUR DATES SUPPORTING
HAYLEY WILLIAMS
 IN LATIN AMERICA

DELUXE VERSION OF HER CELEBRATED DEBUT ALBUM SUPER PEDESTRIAN OUT NOW



Annie DiRusso recently joined Hayley Williams in Nashville to perform her song “Wearing Pants Again” and this week DiRusso announces tour dates opening for Williams in Latin America in cities including Bogotá, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Mexico City and more (full dates below). DiRusso shared about these dates, “opening for hero of all time Hayley Williams in Latin America this November… can’t believe it. Means more than can I say right now. First time playing all of these cities - I can’t wait <3” Tickets for these dates will go on sale here on Thursday May 14th at 10am Local Time.
 
Recently, Annie DiRusso released Super Pedestrian (Deluxe), an expanded edition of her celebrated debut album which NPR Music called “an awesome debut full length…it’s fantastic start to finish” and Paper Magazine hailed as a “brilliant, visceral and vulnerable first album.” The album includes four new songs, “Muck” – which gave Annie her highest first day streaming ever upon release, and videos using the song totaled over 5M views— “Rotting Ripe,” “Hudson Line,” and “Back In Town – (Stripped With Samia).” DiRusso says of her debut, “a lot of the album is about this push and pull of acceptance and resistance. It's me learning to surrender and about not being in the passenger seat of your own life (even though I never officially got my driver’s license). I feel like a much more balanced, fully formed version of myself," DiRusso says. "I'm so excited to just show people where I'm at and how I'm feeling. I want this album to show people it's okay to have fun."  Super Pedestrian (Deluxe) is available on all formats here.

Annie DiRusso recently shared her performance on NPR Music’s Tiny Desk. NPR Music says of her debut album, “Super Pedestrian, an album crammed full of funny, charismatic, bittersweet pop-rock songs about doomed Gen-Z romance and the joy of movies, sports, and other distractions from… well, doomed Gen-Z romance. Whether or not 2025 ever gave you the exact song of the summer you craved, DiRusso gave some of us our album of the summer.” DiRusso performed her songs “Back in Town,” “Hybrid,” “Legs,” “Coming Soon,” and “It's Good to Be Hot in the Summer,” and watch her Tiny Desk performance here.

Super Pedestrian, produced by Caleb Wright (Hippocampus, Samia) follows DiRusso’s critically acclaimed EP God, I Hate This Place, and two straight years on the road, a surreal adventure that involved two sold out headlining tours, opening for Haim and beabadoobee, and debuting her EP on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Prior to this album, DiRusso was touring songs she originally wrote as a teenager and over time, felt like she was playing a past version of herself onstage. "I totally lost touch with my taste in a lot of ways," she reveals. So when the tour ended, DiRusso began "Party July." She moved to a new apartment in East Nashville and made herself available for all the friend hangouts, wine nights, and dance parties she'd missed while on the road.

This era of joyful abandon and radical openness suffuses the new album, and the party-stoic mindset unlocked something in her. By the end of Party July, she already had three new songs including her first single. "Legs” is a sexy summer anthem, born from a wine-fueled dinner party and a casual "I don't give a shit if we fuck" proclamation. "I Am the Deer,” another Party July track, is what happens when you surrender to hooking up with someone you shouldn’t and "Wet" is DiRusso trying not to drown in her feelings, but when she fails and the dam breaks loose on the chorus, she sounds more alive than ever. "Hungry" raised the emotional stakes. "That was written during 'Angry October,'" DiRusso says. The song is about the power dynamics between a predator and victim, she said, reflecting on her past experience in an abusive relationship and with sexual assault, and how naturally it felt to turn the blame on herself. It filled her with rage. The song's chorus echoes advice from her mother, a domestic violence prosecutor: "Nothing makes someone a victim other than their proximity to a predator. If you were in a cave with a hungry bear, it's going to eat you."

DiRusso's craft also evolved during this period. She dabbled in alternate guitar tunings on "Ovid" and "Back in Town," and read straight from her journal to Nashville singer-songwriter and producer Ruston Kelly, for whom she had previously opened. "I was just sitting there with him, reading lines from my journal, and he was like, 'yep, yep, yep,' and then we would kind of shape it," she explained. This is how the striking rocker, "Wearing Pants Again," took such vivid form, and showcases DiRusso's ability to channel impossible-to-articulate sentiments and craft them into songs that feel universal, despite their deeply personal confessions.
