Hayley Williams performed a cover of The Cranberries' Dreams.

The band were playing a headline show at Dublin's 3Arena on Thursday 13th April when the singer paid tribute to the Irish band with an acoustic cover of their 1993 single.

Watch the performance, which Williams encouraged the crowd to sing along to, here:

The performance was especially poignant as since Paramore had last performed in Ireland back in 2027, the Limerick-band's singer Dolores O'Riordan had sadly passed away on 15th January 2018.

Williams thanked the crowd and admitted she'd been dreaming of performing the song with them for years, calling their contribution the "stuff of legend".

The moving performance came half-way through the band's 21-song set, which included hits from across their career such as Decode, Aint It Fun and Still Into You alongside the tracks from the band's most recent album This Is Why.

The gig also gave saw Williams give her Crystal Clear song its live debut and well as Crave, which they chose to end their set.
