In other news, Paramore opened their headline set at When We Were Young Festival last weekend by giving ‘All I Wanted’ its live debut.
The emotional track featured on Paramore’s third album, 2009’s ‘Brand New Eyes’, but has never been performed live before.
Elsewhere during Paramore’s closing set they played ‘Here We Go Again’ from their 2005 debut ‘All I Know Is Falling’ and ‘Paramore’ track ‘Last Hope’ – both for the first time in four years.
When We Were Young Festival continues this weekend, with Paramore, My Chemical Romance and more set to return on October 29.
The festival will then return to Las Vegas next October, with its 2023 bill headlined by Blink-182 and Green Day.
