Grammy nominated and multimillion selling three-piece Paramore are able to announce today that they will be returning to the UK and Ireland to play 6 shows in September 2013.  This will follow the band’s appearance at this year’s Radio 1 Big Weekend in Londonderry/Derry at the end of May.

Hayley Williams (vocals): "We're so psyched to come back the UK and Ireland and play the new songs for everybody. See you there!"

Paramore are set to release the single Still Into You on May 20th, this is the follow-up single to Radio 1 A-listed Now and is taken from their self-titled fourth, number one album which is out now.  The video for Still into You has already had over 9 million views on YouTube, and the band performed the song on both Graham Norton and Radio 1’s Live Lounge in April.

Since releasing their gold-certified debut All We Know Is Falling in 2005, the 3x-Grammy-nominated band has shot to international stardom thanks to a strong connection with its fans which has translated into a string of platinum and gold singles, including Misery Business, Crushcrushcrush, and That’s What You Get from 2007’s platinum-certified Riot!, Decode from 2008’sTwilight soundtrack, The Only Exception from 2009’s platinum brand new eyes, and Monster from 2011’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack. It also led to a series of sold-out arena tours across the globe, including their last sold out UK tour which culminated in 2 nights at London’s O2 Arena in November 2010. Most recently, the band played Reading /Leeds festival in 2012, topping the bill under the Cure on the main stage, and they played an intimate special club show on April 5th of this year at London’s Garage to celebrate the release of current album Paramore.
