Confirmed
Zac Farro is definitely drumming on the new Paramore album, but that’s all, alright?
“I’m back just playing drums for them on their album alongside with doing my HalfNoise stuff.”

It’s no huge surprise given the frankly awful ‘teasing’ that’s been going on of late, but now there’s confirmation from the horse’s mouth - Zac Farro is drumming with Paramore again.
It’s just for the new album though, y’hear? Speaking to Idobi in an interview around his HalfNoise project, Zac finally opened up on the reunion of sorts.
“They’ve asked me to play drums on their album, on their new album,” he explained. “So [Hayley] put it on their Instagram and put it on their website, and it’s no joke that I’m back just playing drums for them on their album alongside with doing my HalfNoise stuff. That’s it, and that’s literally all it is right now. No one’s really asked cause I’ve kind of deterred the question, but I’m doing HalfNoise – that’s my band. They’ve asked me to drum, and it was like, ‘Yeah, of course!’ We’ve always been friends, and yeah, there was a little bit of weirdness cause I left the band for a few years, but all that stuff is not even there anymore and there’s no hard feelings and it’s just been rad and fun.”
No huge Paramore reunion on the card just yet, then, but it’s exciting nonetheless. You can check out Zac’s glimmering, synth-pop solo work under the HalfNoise moniker below.
