Paramore will be opening for all 48 dates of Taylor Swift’s European tour.

Paramore will  join Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour as the opener for all 48 dates of the 2024 European leg of the tour. The European leg kicks off in Paris on May 9th and wraps in London on August 17th at Wembley Stadium, one of six nights the tour will spend at the legendary venue. Paramore opened for Taylor Swift on the very first two shows of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour in Glendale, AZ in March of this year. 

This announcement comes shortly before the release of the highly anticipated collaboration between lead singer Hayley Williams and Taylor Swift – “Castles Crumbling” - featured on Swift’s forthcoming release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) out July 7th.

Paramore will continue to tour in support of their long awaited return, This Is Why, released earlier this year. The record scored numerous top 10 positions around the world including #1’s in both Australia and the UK and debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. This Is Why has been named one of the best albums of 2023 so far by numerous media outlets including Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum and more. 

Starting tomorrow, the band will return for the second leg of their North American 2023 arena tour with support from Foals and The Linda Lindas. Produced by Live Nation, the second half of the tour kicks off at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on Thursday, July 6th and wraps on August 2nd in St. Paul, MN. Fresh off of appearances at Bonnaroo, two sold out nights at Madison Square Garden and a riotous leg one of their tour, it is clear that Paramore has never been better. “Paramore’s music is worthy of our sharpest attention. {Their} live show is unbeatable,” said the Washington Post in a review of Capital One Arena Show. “Like some otherworldly hybrid of Tina Turner and Iggy Pop, {Williams} has made herself into our century's most thrilling and commanding front person by using the entirety of her body to demarcate the totality of her band’s sound.” Paramore has also recently announced a New Zealand and Australia tour this November with two additional shows announced today. See below for a full list of dates.

A portion of ticket sales for all North American shows will be donated to Support + Feed and REVERB.
