The This Is Why Tour is the ongoing fifth concert tour by American band Paramore, in support of their sixth album This Is Why (2023). The tour began on October 2, 2022 in Bakersfield, California, before the release of the album, with several shows throughout North America, Europe, and Latin America. Bloc Party, Foals, The Linda Lindas and Genesis Owusu served as supporting acts on the tour.
Background and development
In May 2017, Paramore released their fifth studio album After Laughter to critical acclaim. The album saw the return of former drummer Zac Farro, who had left the band in 2010. The band toured in support of the album from June 2017 until September 2018. Following the conclusion of the After Laughter Tour, the members of Paramore took a break from writing and recording music for the band and worked on other endeavors. Hayley Williams featured on the American Football song "Uncomfortably Numb" in 2019 and released two solo albums, Petals for Armor (2020) and Flowers for Vases / Descansos (2021);[1][2] the former produced by Paramore guitarist Taylor York. She also pivoted her attention more towards her hair dye company Good Dye Young and hosted the weekly BBC Sounds series Everything Is Emo. Farro continued his ongoing project HalfNoise, releasing an extended play – Flowerss (2018) – and two albums – Natural Disguise (2019) and Motif (2021).[3] Farro also recorded drums for the songs "Watch Me While I Bloom" and "Crystal Clear" from Williams' Petals for Armor and released an EP under his own name titled Zafari (2020).
Discussion about a sixth Paramore album began in 2020 while Williams was promoting Petals for Armor. Williams hinted that the band's next album would be more guitar-driven, stating, "We've found ourselves listening to a lot of older music that we grew up being inspired by."[4] She further commented on the sound of the album in 2022, likening it to Bloc Party: “From day one, Bloc Party was the number one reference because there was such an urgency to their sound that was different to the fast punk or the pop punk or the like, loud wall of sound emo bands that were happening in the early 2000s.”[5] In January 2022, the band confirmed they had entered the studio work on their sixth album.[6]
In September 2022, Paramore archived all posts on their official Instagram page and unveiled a new design for the website. The site featured a timeline of several dates throughout the month that would be updated each date.[7] These dates saw the launch of the band's official Discord server, the announcement of new tour dates in Los Angeles and New York City, and video snippets of the band working on new material. On September 16, the band announced their first new single in four years, "This Is Why", which was released on September 28.[8] The same day as the single's release, the band announced the album of the same name to be released on February 10, 2023.[9]
Following the release of the lead single off their new album, Paramore announced the first leg of the This Is Why Tour, which would began in October, 2022, a few months before the release of the album. The announced dates included limited U.S. theater performances and headlining slots at the Austin City Limits and When We Were Young festivals.[10][11][12] In October 10, 2022, the band announced a South American leg of the tour, which is set to begin in March 2023.[13][14] A month later, Paramore announced a 26-city arena tour for the United States in 2023, with Bloc Party, Foals, The Linda Lindas and Genesis Owusu joining them as supporting acts.[15]
