In January 2009, Josh Farro spoke about the band's upcoming third studio album. Talking to Kerrang!, Farro said: "We're gonna try to [record] it in Nashville. I think writing the album there will inspire us, and then if we record there too it'll be a lot easier since we can sleep in our beds at night rather than in hotels like the other 300 days out of the year! We're not sure who's going to produce the record yet. We did "Decode" with [producer] Rob Cavallo, which was a good experience, but we're looking around and don't want to make any decisions until we have a lot of songs and we know what we're looking for. We really enjoy our live sound and we want a producer who can really capture that.
On January 21, 2009, it was announced that Paramore will be the special guest with Bedouin Soundclash, The Sounds and Janelle Monae at the No Doubt Summer Tour 2009, starting in May 2009 in outdoor amphitheaters and arenas across the US and Canada.[43]
Paramore wrote and completed their newest record Brand New Eyes in early 2009. The first single off of the album was "Ignorance" and was released July 7, 2009. The official music video for "Ignorance" aired on all MTV platforms, networks, and websites on August 13, 2009. Paramore, along with Paper Route and The Swellers, toured in support of Brand New Eyes in the fall of 2009.[44] Some tour dates were postponed due to Hayley Williams becoming infected with laryngitis.[45] "Brick By Boring Brick", "The Only Exception", "Careful" and "Playing God" followed as the album's next singles.[46][47][48][49] To promote the album, the band recorded a performance for MTV Unplugged.[50]
Paramore then played a sold out 15-date European tour with You Me At Six, Paper Route and Now Now Every Children.[51] Their stadium tour culminated at London's Wembley Arena, to an audience of 12,500.[52] The band performed in 2010 in the Australian Soundwave Festival along with bands such as Faith No More, Placebo, You Me at Six, All Time Low, Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday. Shortly before the tour, lead guitarist Josh Farro announced via the band's LiveJournal that he is engaged and stayed behind to plan his wedding. Justin York, brother of Taylor York, filled in for him on the tour.[53] The band, with Farro returned, embarked on a spring tour of the U.S. in late April.[54] Paramore supported Green Day on selected dates of their Stadium tour, in Dublin and Paris.[55]
In April 2010, the band announced that they would be headlining the 2010 Honda Civic Tour. The tour began on July 23 in Raleigh, NC and closed on September 19 in Anaheim, CA.[56] After a short United Kingdom tour in November 2010,[57] the band announced, on December 2, 2010, the official dates for a South American tour to take place during February and March 2011.[58]
During an interview with MTV at the Z100 Jingle Ball on December 11, 2010, Hayley and Taylor announced that the band would be taking a break after their South American Tour in 2011 to write for their forthcoming fourth studio album.
