On November 17, 2017 the band released "Fake Happy" as their third single off After Laughter.[4] On February 5, 2018 the band released their fourth single off After Laughter, "Rose-Colored Boy."[5] And finally, on June 26, 2018, Paramore released their fifth and final single off the album, "Caught in the Middle.[6]
The first set of tour dates were announced as "Tour One" on April 19, 2017, with the band touring intimate venues in Europe.[7] Parahoy!

Due to Hurrican Irma, the band had to reschedule the Orlando and Miami dates for December 5 and 6, 2017.[9][10] The third set of tour dates were announced as "Tour Three" on August 25, 2017, touring arenas in Europe.[11][12] The fourth set of tour dates were announced as "Tour Four" on November 7, 2017, touring arenas in Oceania, Asia, and Hawaii.[13][14] Due to Williams getting sick,[15][16] the Jakarta and Manila dates were rescheduled.[17] The fifth and final set of tour dates were announced on March 8, 2018 as "Tour Five" and was officially called The After Laughter Summer Tour with Foster The People.[18]
The band announced the final show of the After Laughter era on June 26, 2018. The show is called Art + Friends, and happened in Nashville, Tennessee on September 7, 2018. The band have described it as "a celebration of Nashville music, art and community." Paramore performed a headline show, with support from bands COIN, Bully, Nightingail, and artists Liza Anne and Canon Blue.[19][20][21]
A review of the Mountain View performance stated "From Williams encouraging the unity of fans in her speeches to the whole band exuding raw emotion in its performance, the band has truly mastered the art of audience connection."[22]
