Paramore members Hayley Williams, lead singer, Taylor York, guitarist, and Zac Farro, the drummer will be participating in the tour that started in October 2022 and will continue well into the following year.
After releasing their new single and title album, “This Is Why," Paramore came back strong touring around the United States, while simultaneously touring various other countries such as Columbia and Argentina.
The theme of their new single is about the ups and downs of life, changes that occurred–whether with the pandemic, and choices that are out of the control of the individual.
Their new single was released in September of 2022. It has a different sound than the work on their last album After Laughter which was a pop-rock album; Paramore returns to old routes of alternative rock.
Avid fans are excited to see what this new album entails for Paramore as they return from their break. Fans are also excited for what meanings will be talked about in their songs as they talk about their life and struggles within their music.
During their hiatus, members of the group took a break to venture off into making their own music and exploring their careers and life outside of the group. Hayley Williams has stated in a BBC1 Radio interview that the group needed time to figure out who they are outside of the band; the pandemic gave them that chance.
With the more recent news, the group also recently announced a Northern American tour starting in 2023 to help support their new album.
As it was also just announced at the beginning of November, Paramore will also be making a pit stop by joining Taylor Swifts’ “The Eras Tour" for one show only in Arizona.
Fans are eager to see them as they come back from their hiatus, seeing as they nearly sold out all of their arena shows.
Paramore has not disappointed their fans with their newly released single, and hopefully fans will not see that happening anytime soon with their new album.
