Paramore has been forced to postpone four shows on their North American tour due to an ‘undisclosed illness’ within the band.
Paramore posted a series of statements on their social media accounts following the initial postponement in San Francisco: “As announced yesterday, our show in San Francisco was postponed due to illness within the touring party. After much deliberation, in the interest of our health and ability to put on a show you all deserve, we have decided to reschedule our shows this week in Seattle, Portland, and Salt Lake City … We tried everything in our ability to put on the show last night. We know that some of you waited in line for hours, traveled far distances, and moved around plans to be there. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused … To everyone affected by these postponements, please know that we do not take postponing a show lightly. The last thing we want to do is postpone a show that we’ve all been looking forward to for months. We love you, we are sorry, and we hope to see you soon.”
The band first postponed their show in San Francisco on Saturday, July 22, which was rescheduled to Aug. 7; and now they’ve postponed three more shows in July. The band’s Seattle show, originally scheduled for July 24, has been moved to Aug. 9; their Portland date was postponed from July 25 to Aug. 10; and their stop in Salt Lake City, Utah has been moved from July 27 to Aug. 13. The band’s July 29 show in Tulsa, Oklahoma and following in St. Louis on July 30 are still currently listed on their site, along with remaining and rescheduled dates in August.
Paramore is also scheduled to kick off an international tour in New Zealand on Nov. 18, running through dates in Australia and Europe before concluding with three shows at Wembley Stadium in August 2024.
