Paramore Announce Highly Anticipated Australian Tour

The anticipation has been high for Paramore’s long-awaited Australian tour, and now, we finally have the tour dates.

The rumours began at the beginning of the month when a fan on Twitter met vocalist Hayley Williams and Brian O'Connor, the co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of her hair dye company, Good Dye Young and asked if the band would be heading to Australia anytime soon, with Williams reportedly responding, “yes in November”. That was correct.

Two weeks later, the band began sending DMs to their biggest fans in Australia and New Zealand, asking, “What’s your address?” One of the fans who received said DM took to TikTok to share what she received after sending Paramore her address, which was a November Australia and New Zealand tour t-shirt and matching stickers. You can watch that TikTok here.

Last week, Paramore started officially teasing their first Australian tour since February 2018. The US pop-punk legends posted a photo to their social media platforms with black text on a white background, stating, "6.27 – g’day." They also included a link to a mailing list: paramoredownunder.com.

This November, the legends at Frontier Touring are bringing Paramore back to Australia for a run on the East Coast and a date in Auckland, New Zealand.

Paramore – Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro, joined by special guest, Californian blues singer Remi Wolf, will head to Auckland’s Spark Arena on Saturday, 18 November, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, 22 November, and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Monday 27 November.

They will also visit Sydney’s iconic Domain on Saturday, 25 November, performing to a GA audience for an extra special night of music under the stars and their biggest Australian headline show to date.

Paramore will donate a portion of all ticket sales to leading food rescue organisations OzHarvest (Australia) and KiwiHarvest (New Zealand) to help reduce food waste and create lasting positive social change.

Paramore are touring in support of their excellent sixth album, This Is Why, which debuted atop the ARIA Albums Chart and Vinyl Albums Chart in its first week.
