Paramore at AO Arena — stage times, supports, setlist and more

They're in the midst of their first tour anywhere in over three years. This is going to be an absolute party.

In case you somehow missed the countless videos on TikTok and people’s Instagram stories, Paramore are well and truly back and have been delighting fans with their world tour since October.

Arriving for the UK and Ireland leg of their ‘ This Is Why Tour’ earlier this month, pop-punk turned alt-rock outfit are playing top tracks from their latest album of the same name — as well all the hits, of course — and judging by what we’ve seen online, they’ve been absolutely smashing it.

Now stripped to just three of the original four founding members , it looks like they really are back to doing what they do best: making music, playing massive shows and having fun.

With that in mind, Paramore arrive at Manchester’s AO Arena this Tuesday, 18 April, and for those of you going along to relive your noughties emo days or simply watch Hayley Williams be Hayley Williams, here’s all you need to know.

Tickets for Paramore in Manchester

First things first, if you were still hoping to grab yourself some tickets, we’re sorry to be the bearer of bad news but pretty much every one of these puppies sold out in the blink of an eye — even we couldn’t even bag ourselves any, try as we might.

That’s at least in terms of standing anyway; it looks like are a few seated tickets floating about on sites like Twickets and TicketSwap but they’re pretty pricey and, as always, we’d urge you to be super cautious when it comes to buying from resellers.

However, plans always change and someone always drops out, so we sincerely hope you get a miracle and bag yourself some standings in time for the gig.

Support acts — what a billing!

As if getting to see the band back on stage with new music wasn’t enough, Mancs will be treated to some serious talent when it comes to Paramore’s support acts for the AO Arena gig.

In addition to bringing rising Winchester-born and London-based artist Rozi Plain (‘Help’, ‘Friend City’, ‘Inner Circle’) along for the UK and Ireland leg, those who grabbed tickets have also somehow managed to land themselves the legendary Bloc Party as ‘warm-ups’. You jammy so-and-sos…

The indie and alt-rock veterans, known for the likes of ‘Helicopter’, ‘Flux’ and ‘This Modern Love’, have been around since 1999 if you can believe it, but are still one of this country’s best exports and it seems the Tennessee trio know it.

There are special guests and then there’s having literal headliners as your ‘warm-ups’, come on, guys.

Paramore stage times for Manchester AO Arena gig

According to the Arena, doors will open to the event at 6pm. The gig itself should start shortly after with Rozi Plain due to play around 6:30pm before lead supports and special guests Bloc Party starting around 7:30pm.

If you even have any energy left after watching Kele Okereke and co. do their thing, Paramore are likely to take the stage at around 9pm for what we can only assume will be two hours of bangers, Riot! era headbanging and pure partying.

God, we’re jealous.

Predicted set-list

Last but not least, judging by what’s been played at the shows on the tour so far — with Dublin kicking off the first date on this current leg — the core ‘ This Is Why ‘ Tour setlist hasn’t been switched up too much from night to night.

That being said, there has been some flexible around the middle section of these and coming to such a massive music city like Manchester, they’re sure to pull something big out of the bag.

With help from setlist.fm , here’s what we think it’s going to look like:

• Note To Self (spoken word intro)
• Playing God
• That’s What You Get
• Running Out of Time
• Caught in the Middle
• Ain’t It Fun
• Crystal Clear (Hayley Williams song)
• Still Into You
• Rose-Colored Boy
• Cover 1 (they’ve done everything from The Cranberries to Fleetwood Mac in the past)
• Cover 2 (we’re going to assume some Manc anthem — just please not ‘Wonderwall’, guys)
• I Caught Myself
• Misery Business
• This Is Why
• Crave (Encore)
• Green Island Festival returns to Hulme Garden Centre for 2023
• Wunderhorse at Deaf Institute – so good you’ll never see them on a stage this small again
• A club night paying tribute to legendary indie club Jilly’s Rockworld is back in Manchester

This is the first time Paramore have been back to Manchester’s AO Arena since 2018 when the band were touring the After Laughter album and the lineup was different, so this feels like somewhat of a homecoming for the band as we first knew them.

Now six albums and nearly two whole decades into their career, we think it’s fair to call Paramore veritable rock and pop royalty — I mean, you don’t get the honour of playing the Arena if you aren’t worth the entry fee.

So, if you were wondering exactly why people are so buzzing for this gig, well, this is why:

24-year-old neo soul singer Olivia Dean was in Manchester last night performing her Mercury prize-nominated album effortlessly with a voice and style made for the stage.

Fans of the star have watched her go from strength to strength over the past year, from being nominated for three Brits, performing at Coachella and now preparing for this year’s Glastonbury festival.

As someone who frequents gigs like they’re going out of fashion, it’s a bold statement but I think this may be one of the best I’ve ever experienced, and Olivia Dean can only be described being a star.

Before we dive into the performance, it’s only fair to take a minute to shoutout what an incredible venue for music the Albert Hall is. The former Methodist hall projects and echos acoustics perfectly and the raised stage and balcony area mean everyone in the building has a good view.

It’s no surprise that given her recent success the show at the Albert Hall was a complete sell-out, appearing on stage in a stunning floor-length silk dress the sea of fans filled the venue with admiring applause.

With a seven-piece band behind her, the star jumped straight into an atmospheric  UFO before a cheery ‘How are we Manchester?’ and raising a can of Red Stripe. She quickly follows with Ok Love You Bye  – a track that gets the whole crowd singing along and contemplating their past love decisions (maybe that last bit was just me).

The singer seamlessly glided through her set with ease, tambourine in hand, wowing fans with gorgeous melodies and relatable lyrics.

• Why Leeds is the best city to visit this summer for live music, gigs and festivals
• Moovin’ Festival 2024 – full line-up announced for Stockport’s much-loved festival as it hits major milestone
• Manchester’s Barton Aerodrome announces huge line-up of outdoor gigs including McFly, JLS and UB40

Gracefully sitting at the piano the room fell to silence as we heard Everybody’s Crazy and I Could Be a Florist , I’d predict I wasn’t the only person crying at this point.

As the evening rolled on and the songs kept coming the genuine talent Olivia has, not just as a singer but as a lyricist, had the crowd hooked on her every word. Of course she ends with  Dive , the standout track from the album that perfectly depicts how it feels to fall in love.

Olivia Dean 2024 setlist

• Ok Love You Bye
• Cross My Mind
• Be My Own Boyfriend 
• What Am I Gonna Do on Sundays?
• No Man 
• Touching Toes 
• Everybody’s Crazy 
• I Could Be a Florist 
• Ladies Room 
• Reason to Stay 
• The Hardest Part

Saying her goodbyes with a ‘I’ve had such a lovely evening’ and telling the crowd how happy she is to be back home in the UK after recent shows in America.

Experiencing Olivia Dean at Albert Hall felt genuinely special, the star is destined for a life time of deserved fame but her voice was made to be experiences in an intimate venue. The opportunity to enjoy her talent in such a perfect venue was nothing short of a divine evening.

Poyton’s Party in the Park is back for 2024 and has an announced legendary disco act as their biggest headliner ever.

Marking the 20th anniversary of the cult favourite event, the old Cheshire town which neighbours the likes of Stockport and Macclesfield is hosting its biggest party to date at Poynton Park this summer in partnership with the local Rotary Club, promising a jam-packed day of live music and more.

Confirming classic New York disco group and vocal trio Odyssey and the main event, with millions of records sold worldwide and some of the most iconic tracks of the 1970s and 80s to their name, this little one-day festival is set for a massive year.

Better still, as a fundamentally not-for-profit event raising money for local charities and community groups, you can party all day and all night whilst doing your bit for a good cause.

Alongside Odyssey , the lineup for Poynton’s Party in the Park 2024 includes critically acclaimed cover bands like The Soul Providers and Soulvation Band, performing some of the greatest soul, funk, Motown and disco hits of the 1960s.

There’s plenty of local talent from around the North West on show too, such as Manchester singer-songwriter Imogen Paige , Liverpool-based indie band The Garnetts and, returning due to popular demand, Party in the Park favourites and Poynton’s very own Monkey Harris Band.

Great name and an even greater stage presence.

They’re the stuff of legend around the local area, regularly playing the likes of the Poynton Beer Festival and this is by no means their first turn around the park.

This year’s Party in the Park is being put on by local festival organiser and Hale Barns Carnival creator, Max Eden, working alongside Poynton Rotary – who founded the event two decades ago – to deliver what they’re calling a “refreshed and updated event for all the family to enjoy”.

The one-day festival also promises to feature lots of new and exciting additions for 2024 including traditional funfair rides for all ages, alongside an extended showcase of the amazing local food and drink, as well as a new VIP area offering premium seats, table service and exclusive meet and greets.

Local station Happy Radio UK will also be covering the event as the official radio partner, broadcasting in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and across various other parts of the North West , with well-known presenters like Steve Penk, Darren Proctor and Chelsea Norris all set to be involved.

Speaking ahead of the fundraising festival, Odyssey lead singer Steven Collazo said: “We’re so excited to be headlining Poynton Party in the Park this June. We’ve heard you guys know how to party and we can’t wait to get our groove on with y’all!”

• You can ‘run and rave’ as part of this new charity-driven social in Manchester city centre
• A brand-new all-British music festival is coming to Cheshire and the lineup is a pure throwback

As for organiser Max Eden, he added: “I’m thrilled to be working with Poynton Rotary this year to stage the biggest Poynton Party in the Park to date.

“We have an incredible headliner alongside outstanding local musicians and performers, amazing family attractions and the best food and drink from the local area – it’s the perfect lineup for a really good party!

“We hope to raise vital funds for Poynton Rotary to enable them to continue the incredible work they do locally in supporting charities and community groups in our area.”

Party in the Park starts at 1pm on Saturday, 8 June with tickets starting from £28.50 for adults and just £15 for 5-16s – not to mention kids four and under going completely free. You can grab your general admission, or VIP passes if you’re feeling a bit posh, right HERE .

Venue pre-sales will begin on Wednesday 26 October. Fans who have already pre-ordered the album will get a code to access the pre-sales.

Paramore were interviewed by The Guardian to mark the album announcement back in September. Looking back at the band’s career so far, Hayley Williams reflected, “We met at the craziest age and we should not have made it through all the things we’ve been through together.”

Williams went on to discuss writing the lyrics for the new album, “I look at the internet, the news, and it feels like [we’re in] Lord of the Flies . When I was writing the lyrics, I was like, this social experiment – the internet – has been going wrong since day one. It exposes and exploits the general population’s blatant disregard for nuance. Some days I feel so over it, almost to the point of apathy, but that’s the struggle – that you have to fight.”

Check out Paramore's banger-filled setlist from the first night of their UK and Ireland tour

Paramore kicked off their UK and Ireland tour yesterday with a packed setlist of new hits, old classics and even a few covers. Here's what went down

In support of their recently-released sixth album This Is Why , Tennessee alt rockers Paramore jumped the pond yesterday for the first night of their UK and Ireland 2023 tour.

Serving as their first Irish stop since 2017, the show took place on April 13 in Dublin. Across the evening, the band delivered 21-songs to the 3Arena audience, comprised of welcome classics, new hits and even a few covers. 

Commencing with two This Is Why tracks, formed of the atmospheric You First and the jaunty The News , Hayley Williams and co. quickly picked up the momentum with old but gold fan-favourites such as Playing God and Riot! classic That's What You Get. 

Towards the midpoint of the set, the band honoured Hayley Williams' Petals For Amor solo ditty Crystal Clear with a live debut, before playing through a handful of covers including Baby by Half Noise and and an acoustic version of Dreams by The Cranberries , in tribute to the Irish band's late vocalist Dolores O'Riordan.

Ending the set on a high, Paramore fired out their trademark anthem Misery Business followed by After Laughter hit Hard Times and the new album title-track, This Is Why, before closing the set with an encore comprised of just Crave. Looking by their physical set list from the night, they had originally planned to play 2009's All I Wanted as the penultimate track - which had only just been brought into Paramore setlists as of last year due to its overly-demanding vocal parts - but sadly, was unfortunately axed.

Paramore's next show will see them head over to Cardiff's Motorpoint International Arena on April 15.

Recent tour reviews

This is the third time I've seen this wonderful band but the first time I've actually paid to see them exclusively. The other two were at festivals.

What you see with Hayley Williams and her merry crew is what you get. A powerful, energetic, sometimes outrageous performance. The music they wrote in their first three albums contributes heavily to this. They made lively punk-pop music and their shows reflect that.

But something changed this time around. Paramore's most recent piece of work, After Laughter, completely changes direction from what they're historically used to providing. While it's a solid album in its own right, it doesn't blend well with the old stuff.

So the group has made a similar switch in their live shows. Two songs from RIOT!, one from Brand New Eyes, nothing from All We Know Is Falling in the setlist. After Laughter was played almost in its entirety, turning this more into a pop concert than a punk one.

Don't get me wrong, Hayley and crew still provide a great night of entertainment and their audiences are equally as explosive. It's just now expectations need to be managed accordingly. For some, this is the end of the line. For me? I'm not sure. But if you come looking for one of the best rock acts on the planet, you may leave feeling a little disappointed.

Report as inappropriate

Absolutely amazing. I was standing and I was very close to the front. The whole stage presence of the band was incredible and Hayley Williams especially connected so well with the audience. I was looking foward to this show since September, and God was it worth the wait. I’ve seen a lot of bands in my life, but they are right up there with the likes of Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi and Guns n Roses. If all the concerts I’ve been to, this just might be my favourite yet.

And when Hayley chose someone from the crowd to come up on stage and sing Misery Buisness I was jumping as high as I could shouting “ Pick me, pick me!”. Although I was not picked, it didn’t matter, it was still in my eyes, the best band I’ve seen yet. Unfortunately I’m only 15 but if I could drive, I would’ve booked tickets for another show that same night.

Being able to jump and sing to songs like Still into You, Misery Buisness, Ignorance and That’s what you Get was an experience I could not have imagined to be any better. Thank you for an amazing show Paramore. I’ll see you next time

Thanks for the Memories BECAUSE THEY WERE SO GREAT | Monumentour 2014:

On August the 2nd, 2014, with a full bladder and a happy heart I arrived at the Austin360 amphitheater to live out a dream – See Fall Out Boy perform live.

After a brief visit to a way-too-hot Port O Potty and a little loss of dignity, that dream was well on its way to becoming true.

I’m sad to say that I missed the opening band (New Politics). I’m going to go ahead and put the blame for that one on my mom. She’s perpetually late to everything. And yes, that’s right ladies and gents, I do indeed go to concerts with my mom. She can hang 10x better than most people I know and we have virtually the same taste in music. Anyways, after finding our seats (because this was a seated venue which, *annoyed sigh*, we’ll get into another time) it was time for the second band to take the stage. And let me tell you, they made themselves known by firing confetti guns that nearly gave me a heart attack. FOUR TIMES. FOUR MINI HEART ATTACKS. I suppose I should probably tell you that the confetti firing band was Paramore. Maybe you’ve heard of them? Oh, who am I kidding? Everyone knows Paramore, and for good reason.

They’re music is totally energetic and now I can vouch that their performances are too. From the synchronized head banging during Misery Business to the cheesy “we’re all a family” speech, there wasn’t one boring moment during their set. They played both older and newer songs, keeping up the energy and excitement the whole time. Hayley and the boys are so cute when they interact. I have this fantasy that they eat pizza rolls and watch The Simpsons together when they’re not touring. Also, my crush on bassist, Jeremy Davis, only increased when I saw his dance moves. AND THE TATTOOS. MY GOODNESS.

Next up was a music video interlude which I am totally all for. Then, we all went home. JUST KIDDING. After the music videos, the stage lights were dimmed, a creepy voice started talking about fears, and from the center of the platform, four glorious human beings arose. Fall Out Boy started their performance by playing The Phoenix and from there played incredible song after incredible song (because that’s the only kind of song they write). They even did a Queen cover at one point and that is always okay in my book.

I have a lot of feelings about this band. I’ve been a fan since the days of guyliner (ehem, Pete) and novels-for-song titles. On one hand, they make me feel totally hardcore because of their bangin music but on the other hand, I feel like a gigantic puddle of fangirl because they’re all really adorable. I mean, at a certain angle, Joe looks like Patrick Dempsey circa Can’t Buy Me Love, and then you’ve got the precious teddy bear on drums. Andy wore a stoic, almost grumpy, face of concentration for most of the show only to smile and melt my heart at the end.

Next you have the ball of cheese that is Pete. He did most of the talking throughout the performance and the lil’ cutie spewed cliché after cliché about following your dreams and “choosing your own fucking happiness” and it was glorious.

Do I even need to explain Patrick’s preciousness? I swear, he and Johnny Depp are the only two people in the world who can work a fedora. I just want to hug him and cuddle him and kiss him gently on the forehead AND THEN HE HAD TO GO AND DO A THING LIKE BREAK OUT HIS DRUM SKILLS. Hot damn. He and Andy did an incredible drum sesh/ mash up thing with Jay Z’s 99 Problems. Super cool.

Overall, Fall Out Boy performed so well. I’m just sad I haven’t seen them perform live sooner. They seem like amazing people and they deserve every single fan that filled up the crowd.

WATCH: Paramore - 'This Is Why' (music video)

Back in September, in a social post that bordered on nonchalant, Paramore released their first new music in four years, the staccato singalong title track to forthcoming album 'This Is Why'.

In their first interview since their return, Hayley Williams revealed the trio have made a guitar heavy sixth album.

The singer explained that the new music will draw from their earlier influences but won't necessarily be a "comeback 'emo' record."

Paramore through the years:

Career beginnings.

Paramore was created in 2004 when friends Hayley Williams, brothers Josh and Zac Farro, Jeremy Davis and Jason Bynum would meet up and jam together after school. As most of the band apart from Davis were under 18, Hayley's parents would drive them to perform at various shows and festivals. After attracting the attention of record label executives, the band, who originate from Franklin, Tennessee, was signed to Atlantic Records and Fueled By Ramen in 2005. However, shortly after this, Davis left the band citing personal reasons and was replaced by bass player John Hembree.

2005: 'All We Know Is Falling'

Upset about Davis leaving the band, Paramore used the experience as inspiration for their debut album, 'All We Know is Falling'. Despite leaving five months earlier, Paramore asked Davis to return just before the album was released. He accepted and replaced Hembree. Later that year, guitarist Hunter Lamb was brought in to replace Jason Bynum. 'All We Know Is Falling' was released in July 2005, along with singles 'Pressure', 'Emergency' and 'All We Know'. The album reached Number 4 on the UK Rock chart and Number 51 on the UK chart. It also peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums in 2006. While the album didn't perform as well as their record label had hoped, it did help Paramore to build a larger fanbase, particularly in the emo/alternative rock scene, on both sides of the pond.

2007: 'Riot!'

Paramore had their major breakthrough moment after the release of their second album, 'Riot!' in 2007. The now 2x Platinum-selling album featured singles 'That's What You Get', 'CrushCrushCrush', 'Hallelujah' and their biggest song to date, 'Misery Business'. The band chose the name 'Riot!' for the album, because it means "a sudden outburst of uncontrolled emotion" which they felt "summed it all up".

2007: Jeremy returns and Taylor York joins

At this point, the band had gone through yet another lineup change after saying goodbye to Hunter Lamb, who was later replaced by guitarist Taylor York, a friend of the Farro brothers. Davis was also briefly expelled from the band, which according to Josh Farro was due to "his lack of work ethic and participation in things that Zac, Hayley and I didn't agree with". However, Hayley later convinced the rest of the band to let him return as their bass player for the second time.

2009: Third album 'Brand New Eyes'

After extensively touring their 'Riot!' album, Paramore went back into the studio to write and record their third album in 2009. 'Brand New Eyes' was released later that year and was an international success, thanks to singles 'Ignorance', 'Brick By Boring Brick', 'The Only Exception', 'Careful' and 'Playing God'. Paramore then went on tour with You Me At Six for a 15-date European tour, which culminated at a show at London's Wembley stadium which was watched by over 12,000 fans.

2010: The Farro Brothers leave Paramore

In 2010, Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor announced on the Paramore website that founding members Zac and Josh Farro had left the band. The trio wrote, ' None of us were really shocked. For the past year, it hasn't seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore ... We want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy, and if that isn't here with us, then we support them in finding happiness elsewhere.' A year later, Paramore released their first single as a trio, 'Monster' which featured on the movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack.

2012: Fourth self-titled album

In 2012, Paramore released their self-titled fourth album -their first as a trio. This album marked a change in direction for the band as they came back with a brand new look and sound. The change worked in their favour, with the album reaching Number 1 on the US Billboard 200 and the UK Album chart.

2015: Grammy Awards and Jeremy Davis leaves

In 2015, hit single 'Ain't It Fun' won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. This album also produced the commercially successful single, 'Still Into You' which has since gone double platinum. Despite the global success of 'Paramore', Jeremy Davis left the band for the third time to focus on his personal life in 2015.

2016-2017: Zac Farro returns

In early 2016, Hayley Williams announced on Twitter that Paramore were in the process of writing their fifth album. However, while many were expecting Hayley and Taylor to continue as a duo, eagle-eyed fans spotted photos of former drummer Zac Farro playing with the band on their social media channels. Unsurprisingly, Zac Farro's reunion with the band was officially announced in 2017.

2017: 'After Laughter'

With the new line-up in place, Paramore released 'After Laughter', their fifth studio album in 2017 which had a distinct '80s new wave vibe. It debuted at Number 6 on the US Billboard 200, making it their third top 10 on the chart and also reached the Top 10 in countries such as the UK, Australia and Canada.

2019: Hiatus

Much to the disappointment of their fans, Paramore took to Instagram in August 2019 to announce that they would be taking a break to pursue solo projects.

2020: Solo projects including Hayley Williams' solo album 'Petals For Armor'

Hayley went on to release her debut solo album, 'Petals for Armor' , which was co-written and produced by bandmate Taylor York. The album performed well upon its release, reaching Number 4 on the the UK Albums chart and Number 18 on the US Billboard 200. Drummer Zac Farro also released his first solo EP, 'Zafari' in 2020, which has strong Reggae influences.

2021: Silver vinyl edition of 'Riot!' released

Paramore rereleased their 2007 hit album 'Riot!' on special silver edition vinyl to celebrate the record label Fueled By Ramen's 25th anniversary. In addition, the band hosted a fan art design contest, getting the opportunity to submit their 'Riot!'-inspired designs with the band will choosing a winner, featured on their official Paramore merch and sold on their web store plus a $500 cash prize.

2021: The hiatus is over

In Nov 2021, Hayley Williams revealed that the band's hiatus is now over and teased to fan that Paramore's highly-anticipated sixth studio album could be with us sooner than we think. When asked about the prospect of using her unused solo songs for a new Paramore album during a fan Q & A on Twitter, Hayley said: "There are more songs, yeah. But I'm not planning on another solo album and I'm not sure if they'd be great for Paramore. I'm ready for the next Paramore album. Let's go."

2022: The band get back in the studio

The group confirmed in Jan 2022 that they were back in the studio recording their sixth album - the first in five years. While there's currently no title or release date for the new record, the Tennessee trio promised the return of riffs to Paramore's sound as the album will feature "more emphasis on the guitar" than 2017's 'After Laughter', according to vocalist Hayley Williams.

2022: 'This Is Why'

Finally, Paramore fans had some new music to sink their teeth into with the release of single 'This Is Why' in September 2022. Hayley said of the track, which the upcoming sixth album is named after: "'This Is Why' was the very last song we wrote for the album. To be honest, I was so tired of writing lyrics but Taylor convinced Zac and I both that we should work on this last idea. "What came out of it was the title track for the whole album. It summarizes the plethora of ridiculous emotions, the rollercoaster of being alive in 2022, having survived even just the last three or four years. You'd think after a global pandemic of biblical proportions and the impending doom of a dying planet, that humans would have found it deep within themselves to be kinder or more empathetic or something."

2022: When We Were Young festival

The trio took part in the 'When We Were Young' festival in October 2022, performing alongside the likes of The All-American Rejects, Sleeping with Sirens, and Black Veil Brides. Also on the bill were forgotten favourites We The Kings, The Ready Set, and 3OH!3, plus newcomers like Meet Me @ The Altar and The Linda Lindas.

2023: New song 'C'est Comme Ça'

Paramore released their new single 'C'est Comme Ça' on 12th January 2023 to promote their upcoming album 'This Is Why', after single 'The News' was put out in December 2022.

2023: 'This Is Why' album release

Paramore's album 'This Is Why' was released on 10th February 2023, preceded by an explanatory post from the group which described why you might listen to it: "Hello. It's been 5.5 years since we released our last album. What'd we miss? "If within the last 5.5 years you've felt/experienced sensations of: Agoraphobia, Righteous Rage, Confused About The Difference Between Selfishness and Self-Preservation, Complete and Utter Apathy, Cabin Fever, Deep-Seated Vengefulness, Moral Superiority, Dissociation, Disassociation, Disbelief At The Inconsistencies of The American-English Language, American Psycho, Revelation, Nostalgia For Things You've Not Yet Experienced and Did Not Know You Even Wanted To, Resignation Then oh boy, do we have an album for you."

2024: Grammys win

Starting off 2024 with a bang, Paramore picked up two awards at the Grammy Awards ceremony which took place on 4th February. Both for their sixth studio album 'This Is Why', the band won awards for both Best Alternative Music Performance and Best Rock Album.

From This Is Why to Misery Business and beyond – here’s Paramore’s 21-song setlist from the opening night of their UK and Ireland tour…

Last night, Paramore made their long-awaited return across the pond for the first night of their UK and Ireland tour. Kicking things off in Dublin for their first Irish show since 2017, the pop-punk icons tore through the capital's 3Arena, delivering a whopping 21 songs – including an acoustic cover of The Cranberries' Dreams.

Leaning more into new album This Is Why , ending with the live debut of Crave, Paramore still found time to delve into their back catalogue, belting out the likes of Decode, Misery Business and Rose-Colored Boy. Hayley even treated Dublin to the very-first performance of solo track Crystal Clear, from her 2020 album Petals For Armor .

If you're heading along to Paramore's UK and Ireland tour, here's a glimpse of what's in store…

Paramore's Hayley Williams Is 'So Ready' for Eras Tour Amid Taylor Swift's 'Impressive' 'TTPD' Album Release

Hayley Williams is ready to hit the road with longtime pal, Taylor Swift ! The Paramore  frontwoman gushed over Swift's new album, The Tortured Poets Department , while offering a tease of the band's upcoming Eras Tour run. 

The 35-year-old musician took to her Instagram Story on Monday, after enjoying an electric Record Store Day over the weekend, to share a handful of her current favorite albums. Unsurprisingly, Swift's TTPD made the list. 

"Had me from the storytelling alone, my friend," Williams wrote. "Every one of us knows this kind of grief! It's so impressive to me how specific and colorful Taylor's words get without ever losing the universal thread. I'm so ready to be tour-mates." 

Also receiving honorable mentions from Williams were Beyoncé 's  Cowboy Carter , Brittany Howard's What Now , Rufus Wainwright's Want One , Bee Gees' Main Course , Tierra Whack's World Wide Whack , Radiohead's The Bends , The Smile's Wall of Eyes , Blonde Redhead's Sit Down for Dinner  and Idles' Tangk . 

Paramore is set to open for Swift on her Eras Tour when it resumes on May 9 in Paris, France. The band will continue to tour with her through her remaining international tour dates, which includes a whopping eight shows at London's Wembley Stadium . 

The dates come less than a year after Paramore's headlining This Is Why tour was derailed due to a lung infection for Williams. At the time, Williams shared with fans that she would be using her downtime to "dive head first into creating some better routines" and getting back into "the creative process." 

"For me, when we get into this mode it always feels nice to disappear in a way," she admitted in a post on Discord . "Maybe this time I will be able to find balance between the disappearing and yet not completely shutting out the world. But probably not." 

It was last summer that Swift, 34, announced that Williams' band would be joining her on the Eras Tour around the same time she dropped  Speak Now (Taylor's Version) . On the rerecorded full-length, Williams is featured on the from-the-vault track, "Castles Crumbling."

"Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour," Swift shared in July 2023. "And I get to travel the world doing shows with Paramore!! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???" 

In  a recent interview  with  Jimmy Fallon on  The Tonight Show , Williams spilled details on how she and Swift first became friends back in 2008. 

"Me and Taylor met because both of us -- Paramore and Taylor -- were nominated for Best New Artist the same year at the GRAMMYS," she said. 

Though the late Amy Winehouse took the trophy that night, Williams and Swift ended up at the same after-party.

"We were at some GRAMMY party -- it was actually Timbaland's GRAMMY party. [It was] huge. I was very nervous," Williams recalled. "But a woman came up to me and she said, 'I'm Taylor Swift's mom and, you know, Taylor doesn't have a lot of friends her age that do music. And I would love to, like, you know, introduce you guys or get your number or whatever.'"

"So Andrea, the legend that she is, she connected us," Williams added, referencing Taylor's mom, Andrea Swift.

Swift's 11th studio album,  The Tortured Poets D epartment , and its lead single, " Fortnight " featuring  Post Malone , were released on Friday to much fanfare. 

In terms of traditional album sales,  Billboard  reports that Swift's  TTPD  sold 1.4 million copies --  including CD, vinyl, cassette and digital download versions -- in its first day alone. This surpasses her own biggest sales week, when  1989 (Taylor's Version)  sold 1.359 million copies. All signs indicate that  TTPD  will be making a massive, record-shattering debut when tracking for its first week concludes on Thursday, April 25. 

The 31-track collection --  which turned out to be a surprise double album  -- features a hefty helping of  heartbreak songs  following her splits from  Joe Alwyn  and  Matty Healy , as well as a few  sweet love songs  amid her current relationship with  Travis Kelce . 

"She has put her heart and soul into the music, just like with everything she does," a source told ET about the album, "and can't wait for her fans to listen to it and to share it with them."
