Paramore surprise Warped Tour in Cleveland

Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 7/9/09 @ 6:09 PM - altpress.com

As was rumored yesterday, Paramore used their off-day from their tour with No Doubt to play a surprise set today on the main stage of Warped Tour in Cleveland, Ohio. The official Warped schedule only said, "Special Guest" in the 5:15 p.m. main stage slot, but the crowd packed in with expectations that Paramore would be the surprise. After Chiodos left the stage at 4:55 p.m., the stage was largely shut off from all but necessary crew, and chants of "Paramore" began to echo throughout the venue. When the members began trickling onstage, the crowd erupted in screams before vocalist Hayley Williams led the band into "Misery Business" and a set featuring a mix of older and new songs.

Set list was as follows:
Misery Business
For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic
Pressure
Ignorance
Crushcrushcrush
Where The Lines Overlap
That's What You Get
Let The Flames Begin
Decode

Paramore will rejoin No Doubt for their show July 10 in Indianapolis.
