The **After Laughter Tour** was the fourth world tour by American [rock](/source/Rock_music) band [Paramore](/source/Paramore), in support of their fifth studio album *[After Laughter](/source/After_Laughter)* (2017). The tour began on June 15, 2017, in [Dublin, Ireland](/source/Dublin,_Ireland), and concluded on September 7, 2018, in [Nashville](/source/Nashville), [Tennessee](/source/Tennessee); comprising one hundred dates.

This was the first touring cycle since 2010 to feature drummer [Zac Farro](/source/Zac_Farro), who left the band on December 18, 2010, and rejoined on February 2, 2017.

## Background

On April 19, 2017 Paramore released "[Hard Times](/source/Hard_Times_(Paramore_song))" as the lead single from their fifth studio album, *[After Laughter](/source/After_Laughter)*, and on the same day announced European tour dates. On May 3, 2017 the band released "[Told You So](/source/Told_You_So_(Paramore_song)) as a single in the UK, acting as the second single from their fifth studio album.[1][2] The full release of the album followed on May 12, 2017.[3] The same day they also announced the 3rd Parahoy! Cruise, and on May 15, 2017 they announced North American tour dates. On November 17, 2017 the band released "[Fake Happy](/source/Fake_Happy)" as their third single off After Laughter.[4] On February 5, 2018 the band released their fourth single off After Laughter, "[Rose-Colored Boy](/source/Rose-Colored_Boy)."[5] And finally, on June 26, 2018, Paramore released their fifth and final single off the album, "[Caught in the Middle](/source/Caught_in_the_Middle_(Paramore_song)).[6]

The first set of tour dates were announced as "Tour One" on April 19, 2017, with the band touring intimate venues in Europe.[7] Parahoy! Cruise was announced on May 12, 2017, coinciding with the release of After Laughter.[8] The second set of tour dates were announced as "Tour Two" on May 15, 2017, touring intimate venues in North America. Due to [Hurricane Irma](/source/Hurricane_Irma), the band had to reschedule the Orlando and Miami dates for December 5 and 6, 2017.[9][10] The third set of tour dates were announced as "Tour Three" on August 25, 2017, touring arenas in Europe.[11][12] The fourth set of tour dates were announced as "Tour Four" on November 7, 2017, touring arenas in Oceania, Asia, and Hawaii.[13][14] Due to Williams getting sick,[15] the Jakarta and Manila dates were rescheduled.[16] The fifth and final set of tour dates were announced on March 8, 2018 as "Tour Five" and was officially called The After Laughter Summer Tour with [Foster The People](/source/Foster_The_People).[17]

The band announced the final show of the After Laughter era on June 26, 2018. The show is called Art + Friends, and happened in Nashville, Tennessee on September 7, 2018. The band have described it as "a celebration of Nashville music, art and community." Paramore performed a headline show, with support from bands COIN, Bully, Nightingail, and artists Liza Anne and Canon Blue.[18][19][20]

## Critical reception

A review of the Mountain View performance stated: "From Williams encouraging the unity of fans in her speeches to the whole band exuding raw emotion in its performance, the band has truly mastered the art of audience connection."[21]
