Having recently completed a tour of Japan and Australia, a triumphant stint on the VANS warped tour in the US and a sold out UK tour in September this year, this January tour will see the band playing their biggest venues so far, allowing them to accommodate a few more of their many new friends.

In advance of the tour, Paramore will release their new single crushcrushcrush on November 26th through Fueled By Ramen records.

The song’s soaring explosive energy makes crushcrushcrush one of the live favourites with fans, the assembled masses of happy, gaping mouths joining in with vocal duties as the song builds to its monolithic chorus.

The track’s stadium size feel shows a maturity of songwriting beyond the teenage band’s years. Josh (guitar), his brother Zac (drums) and Jeremy (bass) providing a clipped backdrop for Hayley’s extraordinary voice.
