Mesa, Arizona's Jimmy Eat World have announced a co–headlining tour with whippersnappers Paramore. Said Jimmy Eat World singer Jim Adkins:

"We're very excited for the upcoming tour with Paramore. We got to know them last December while playing festivals together. They put on a great show and we think it's going to be an awesome bill."

Adds Hayley Williams (Paramore):

"If it all ends tomorrow, we will be happy knowing that we got a tour with the band that gave us a reason to play music."

Equal Vision act Dear and the Headlights, who released Small Steps, Heavy Hooves last year, has been tapped as the tour's opener as well.

Jimmy Eat World is touring in support of last year's Chase This Light while Paramore released Riot! last year as well.
