BEST REWARD FOR PATIENCE: PARAMORE
One of the lingering "controversies" at Bamboozle on Saturday was how Drake's set went 30 minutes over its scheduled conclusion, delaying Paramore's start time leaving thousands of Paramore fans waiting in agony for their heroes to take the stage -- and some of them had been pressed against the front barricades for hours and hours in the unusually intense May heat. But all was forgotten soon after the Tennessee quintet bounded onstage and delivered a confident headline set that would impress at any festival. Hayley Williams' spirit is infectious, uplifting even the most sunburned and dehydrated fans -- and it appears she picked up a few killer dance moves from her 2009 tour partner, Gwen Stefani of No Doubt. It was a triumphant moment for the band, a chance to take a deep breath at the pinnacle of the scene that spawned them. Feels like the next chapter is about to begin.
