Ahead of the release of their new album This Is Why, Paramore will be opening pop-up shops in Sydney and Melbourne next month. The shops will be positioned at Sydney’s Golden Age Cinema on Saturday, 11th February, and Melbourne’s Oshi Gallery on Sunday, 12th February.
According to the band’s label, the shops will feature exclusive merch and music from the Tennessee band. Check out the dates and details below.
Paramore: ‘C’est Comme Ça’
This Is Why will hit shelves on Friday, 10th February. It’s the follow-up to the band’s acclaimed 2017 record After Laughter, which spawned the singles ‘Hard Times’ and ‘Rose-Coloured Boy’. It follows two solo albums from lead singer Hayley Williams: 2020’s Petals For Armor and 2021’s FLOWERS for VASES / descansos.
We’ve already heard a few tracks from the release – the title track landed last September (and reached #45 on the Hottest 100), ‘The News‘ was released in December, and the latest single, ‘C’est Comme Ça’, dropped a couple of weeks ago.
“I’m trying to get un-addicted to a survival narrative,” Williams said of the latest single. “The idea of imminent doom is less catastrophic to me than not knowing anything about the future or my part in it. The guys and I are all in much more stable places in our lives than ever before. And somehow that is harder for me to adjust to.”
