With a queue of people almost doubling up on themselves around the entire Academy, security are trembling in their boots when it comes down to sorting out tonight's rescheduled show. The result: a lack of organisation that means it takes us almost an hour to even get into the box office. It's due to this that we completely miss openers Kids In Glass Houses (Conditions have been forced to drop out, since they originally planned to have played Newcastle on Tuesday night, allowing them to fly home this evening), but we won't have another rant about that. Let's just say that they sounded awesome through the back door, and that Shay had some hella good bass riffs up his sleeve, since it had the outer air vents trembling in his wake. Go see them headline this May. Yes, that is an advert.

When we finally enter, the mighty New Found Glory are already bounding their way through the first song of the set, and it becomes instantly hard to believe that this isn't their own show. However, their slot allows for a perfect thirty five minutes of pop-punk glory (no pun intended.. .) and they bring out all the stops, showing us exactly why this band are so great, still.

Their set is also punctuated with songs from their latest release, 'From The Screen To Your Stereo: Part Two', that incite just as much energy as the old tracks. With Hayley Williams dashing on for a duet of 'It Aint Me Babe' the crowd goes wild, and you realise just how tiny that girl really is. With their performance dialled up to an eleven already, they burst into a security-guard dedicated 'Failure's Not Flattering', before diving head first into a riotous rendition of the ultimate 'My Friend's Over You'. Finishing up with a track dedicated to all the couples out there - hey, it is Valentine's Day after all - 'Kiss Me' is what we're left with, and by God, it's only managed to whet our appetites. You can almost hear the fans say, "Can they not come back on?"

It's not usual to say that the headliners have a hard act to follow, but tonight would definitely be that night. However, you can just feel a tingle down your spine as a film of riots and fights is projected onto the overhead screen centre stage. With a cinematic countdown, it's hard not to get a few goosebumps, before the band leap onstage into an insane performance of album opener 'For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic'. Keeping the energy flowing, they jump straight into Riot's final track, 'Born For This', that has the majority of the fans screaming like there's no tomorrow. But, it's in third track 'Emergency' that the band truly shine: with so much hype having been created over their latest release, the youthful soul of 'All We Know Is Falling' is sometimes left in the shadows, but tonight, it has the cobwebs shaken off and it shows any doubters that Paramore is a band that have been great from the very start.

Following on with a hauntingly beautiful rendition of 'Never Let This Go' (another gem from their first record), we return to some of the gorgeous tracks from 'Riot!' which truly aid to demonstrate the sheer talent that the band possess. Oh, and they also happen to throw in a magnificent (seriously, just ignore the critics) cover of Jimmy Eat World's 'Sweetness', that really does give their idols a warning. Then, it's during single 'crushcrushcrush' that you begin to see the huge influence that front women Hayley Williams holds onstage; such a young woman with such a huge voice. But, along with her bandmates, they fill the stage and control the crowd with the best of them, and manage to look unstoppable all at the same time.

'Pressure' is brilliant, 'Here We Go Again' is insatiable and Williams' heart wrenching snippet performance from At The Drive-In's 'One Armed Scissor' allows for the perfect transition into their latest release 'That's What You Get'. At this point, they catch their breath and Hayley shows us her socks - they're covered in hearts, especially for us, on this special day - and apologises for the original show being cancelled, despite admitting that tonight has been her favourite of the tour. Then you kind of get the impression that the crowd didn't mind holding out a few days, after all. Their set closes with 'My Heart', a song mainly performed by Williams tinkering on a keyboard, doused in a white spotlight. With an enormous build-up, and the shallow breathing of many a fan, the band join her in a crashing and glorious finale, with guitarist Josh Farro screaming his lungs out; adding the perfect gritty quality to the smoothness of the lead's vocals. It's the kind of thing you can only wish to hear yourself.

After many a chant of 'PAR-A-MORE' the band return for a final two songs: 'Riot!' bonus 'Decoy', and the, well, the obvious one. 'Misery Business'. I can't even remember much of that last track; it seems to just be a mixed-up blur of lights and colour and dancing and pits. A little bit of a riot, one may say?
