Paramore spent the first half of 2026 on the road with their This Is Why tour, culminating in a compact European leg that included sold-out club and arena shows for fans in Germany, France, the Netherlands and the UK. According to an independently maintained tour calendar, every German date in June 2026 was marked sold out by the time the band hit the stage in Cologne and Berlin.Paramore-Music.com tour overview

How the 2026 tour reached Germany

The most detailed view of Paramore’s 2026 activity comes from the structured tour list on Paramore-Music.com, which lays out their spring and summer routing across North America and Europe.Paramore-Music.com tour overview After arena and theater stops in cities like Atlanta, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles between late March and mid-May 2026, the band crossed the Atlantic for a focused June run.

For fans based in Germany, the key dates were June 10 and 11, 2026, when Paramore played back-to-back nights at Live Music Hall in Cologne, followed by a June 15 show at Tempodrom in Berlin. All three shows were flagged as sold out on the tour listing, underlining the strength of Paramore’s following in the German market relative to similarly sized club and mid-size arena acts.

Tour numbers and European routing

The June 2026 European stretch shows how tightly Paramore packed their schedule: 15 shows in 26 days, crossing at least eight countries. The calendar lists Milan’s Alcatraz on June 5, the We Love Green Festival in Paris on June 6, Amsterdam’s Paradiso on June 8 and the Best Kept Secret Festival in Beekse Bergen on June 13 before the route reaches Cologne and Berlin.European dates summary

From Germany, the band moved on to Copenhagen’s Poolen on June 16, then to multiple nights at London’s Roundhouse (June 19 and 20) and Manchester Academy (June 22 and 23). The leg closed with two shows at Glasgow’s O2 Academy on June 26 and 27 and two nights at Dublin’s National Stadium on June 29 and 30. Taken together with the North American leg, the 2026 tour ran to more than 40 headline dates, a scale comparable to Paramore’s busiest years in the Brand New Eyes and After Laughter cycles.

Paramore’s sound on This Is Why

This Is Why, released on February 10, 2023, is the sixth studio album by Paramore and marked a shift toward a tighter blend of indie rock, post?punk and pop. On the official site, the album is described as their final studio release for Atlantic Records, closing a chapter that stretches back to their mid?2000s breakthrough.Paramore official site

The tour setlists for 2026 leaned heavily on material from This Is Why while still pulling in staples from Riot!, Brand New Eyes, Paramore and After Laughter. That mix places Paramore in a rare position among rock?leaning pop acts: they can build a full show almost entirely from songs that have either charted in the UK Top 40 or formed part of long?running touring staples, without needing cover versions to fill out the night.

Where Paramore stand in mid-2026

As of mid-August 2026, there is no officially announced future Paramore live date on the band’s own channels or major ticketing platforms. The 2026 tour leg through Germany and the wider European circuit is completed, and Hayley Williams’s solo tour dates now form the next confirmed run for a member of the band. Paramore therefore currently stand without a scheduled next show, while the This Is Why album continues to define their latest studio era.
