Paramore has unveiled details of their eagerly anticipated headline tour, presented by Helio. The coast-to-coast trek will take off on October 23rd in Sayreville, NJ, with dates running non-stop through a New York, NY finale on November 28th. Joining Paramore on the trip will be The Starting Line and special guests The Almost, with Set Your Goals on select dates.

“RIOT!,” the new album from the Tennessee-based quartet, debuted in the Billboard 200 this past June at #20, marking one of the highest sales and chart debuts for Fueled By Ramen (second only to Fall Out Boy) and recently jumped to #15 on the chart with over 258,000 total copies sold to date. The album’s first single, “Misery Business,” is currently Top 10 at Modern Rock radio, while the accompanying video is shaping up as a major smash across the MTV spectrum. Having already been a #1 video at MTV2 and a #2 sensation at MTV, the clip is also a top airplay favorite at mtvU, MTV Hits, and MTV.com. In addition, “Misery Business” is currently the #4 most-played video at Fuse, with further national play coming on Music Choice and The N.

Paramore spent the summer blowing things up on the Vans Warped Tour ‘07 and in Europe. Their headlining dates in the United Kingdom included two sold out nights at The Astoria in London. The band also made their debut appearance on the main stage at the UK’s world-famous Carling Weekend: Reading & Leeds Festival. Paramore will make a brief return home to play three radio-sponsored festivals - the KROQ LA Invasion at Carson City, California’s Home Depot Center on September 15th, KFMA’s Fall Ball 2007 at the Tucson Electric Park in Tucson, Arizona on September 16th, and KNDD’s Endfest at Qwest Field Events Center in Seattle, Washington on September 22nd - before heading out once more for an eagerly anticipated tour of Australia and Japan.

The band has received coast-to-coast acclaim in a variety of national publications, including a lead review in July’s Alternative Press that hails “RIOT!” as “absolutely stellar.” In addition, lead singer Hayley Williams was among the stars featured on the issue’s cover, joining a number of her fellow Vans Warped Tour ‘07 roadmates. Revolver called “RIOT!” “a masterful mix of springy drum beats, crisp guitar hooks, and (Williams’) girlish snarl,” while Spin praised the album for its “arena- rocking potential.”
