In October 2022, Paramore performed at the ACL Music Festival, marking a significant moment in their career as it followed the release of their fifth studio album, "After Laughter," in 2017. This album showcased a departure from their earlier pop-punk sound and included new wave and synth-pop influences, reflecting a period of evolution for the band. The ACL performance featured a mix of fan favorites, including "That's What You Get" and "Decode," indicating their deep connection with longtime supporters while also appealing to newer audiences who discovered them through their recent musical shift. Interestingly, this concert was part of their return to live performances after a hiatus, further underscoring the significance of the event in re-establishing their presence in the live music scene post-pandemic. Paramore's ability to blend nostalgia with contemporary sound was a key highlight of this performance.
