Watch Hayley Williams cover Sinéad O'Connor's 'Mandinka' in Dublin

Hayley Williams has covered Sinéad O'Connor's 'Mandinka' during a show in Dublin on Tuesday.

She performed the track during the second of two shows at the National Stadium, Dublin, as she wrapped up her Ego Death at a Bachelorette tour.

She dedicated Sinéad O'Connor's 'Mandinka' to "all the Irish artists who use their voice," adding, "Fuck this genocide."

'Mandinka' originally appeared on O'Connor's debut album, The Lion And The Cobra (1987), and became her breakthrough single. It was inspired by Alex Haley's novel Roots, tracing the history of an African-American family back to Kunta Kinte, a Mandinka man captured and sold into slavery.

Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, the third solo studio album by Hayley Williams, was officially released to streaming services on August 28, 2025.

The tracks first appeared as 17 standalone songs hidden behind a code available through purchases from Hayley Williams' haircare brand, Good Dye Young. When the tracks later landed individually on streaming services, fans were encouraged to build their own versions of the album before Williams settled on an official running order.
