Paramore announce intimate North American tour

Paramore have announced plans for one final touring run before ending their current ‘Self-Titled’ album cycle.

Having completed their huge ‘Monumentour’ last summer, along with two headlining slots at our own Reading and Leeds festivals, the trio have now confirmed that they’ll be heading out on one last tour around North America this April.

The intimate shows will come complete with support from the band’s longtime friends Copeland and are being billed as ‘an intimate evening of music’ with the two bands.

The news of their ‘Writing The Future’ tour also came with a message from the band, which you can read below.

“It feels right to bring the Self-Titled era to a close. We’ve had a very personal and hugely triumphant journey with this one. What wouldn’t feel right is saying goodbye to this time in the band’s career and not celebrating it with our fans in some special way. So we’ve decided to do one last little run with it. Smaller shows, beautiful theaters…and we’re not calling it a tour, by the way. Each night will be a little event, or as we said just a few seconds ago, a celebration. As we acknowledge the past few years (and more) of everything we’ve been through together, we’re also looking forward together at all there is to come.

Another way we want to celebrate our journey thus far, is to bring out a band who helped us in our most humble, playing 500 beats faster than we should, terrible hair, beginning. We might’ve never gained any traction on the road had they not allowed us on their tour almost exactly 10 years ago. So if you’re coming to one of these shows make sure to get there early for Copeland. Lastly, thank you to anyone and everyone who made this album a milestone in Paramore’s career and in each of our lives. We started this journey 3 years ago, desperate for any sort of future at all! Now we are standing taller, more confident, knowing that we are the ones who write our own future. This means you too.

Hayley, Jeremy & Taylor”
