American rock band Paramore had been scheduled to perform in Jakarta for the first time after a seven year absence on February 16, but had to cancel at the last minute due to medical problems. But they promised to come back in August and so they are with a performance at ICE BSD City on Saturday. Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro are making their way back as part of their international ‘Tour Four’ concert series promoting their fifth album, ‘After Laughter’ (which made plenty of critics best-of-the-year lists for 2017).
