Last Sunday the 2010 Honda Civic Tour made a stop in Rochester Hills at the Meadow Brook Music Festival.
 

Relatively unknown alternative rock band Kadawatha opened the show with a impressive show that won over the crowd.

The Swedish band's music is beautiful and filled with winding melodies that morph into power rock ballads.

Songs like "Agape" and "Dreams and Dreamers" definitely showed that this is a band to look out for in the future.

Rock band New Found Glory were up next and pulled out some of the crowd's favorites like "Hit or Miss" and "My Friend's Over You".

They had the crowd laughing as they held up index cards saying "Buy Our Shirt!".

Indie rockers Tegan and Sara were the last of the openers. 

They had the crowd on it's feet and dancing along throughout their set as they performed songs like "You Wouldn't Like Me", "Walking With A Ghost" and "Where Does the Good Go?".

Headliners, Paramore took the stage for their set with a bang as they stayed behind a curtain letting the crowd gather as lights allowed the crowd to glimpse their shadows.

They opened the show with newer hit "Ignorance" and kept the energy going from there moving through some of their most popular songs including "That's What You Get", "Decode" and "crushcrushcrush".

The highlight of the show was a performance of the Loretta Lynn classic "You Ain't Woman Enough" as vocalist Hayley Williams showed her country roots.

The band went on to perform a acoustic set that included "When It Rains" and "Where the Lines Overlap".

Paramore closed their set with a sing-along performance of their new single "The Only Exception".

The band returned to the stage for a encore of their two most popular songs "Brick By Boring Brick" and "Misery Business", which included a portion where the band pulled a girl out of the crowd to help them perform the song. 

They closed the evening with a spray of confetti leaving the crowd more than satisfied.
