Australia holds a special place in the hearts of Mayday Parade and fans similarly embrace the band with open arms.

This September, the beloved Tallahassee quintet return to play a career spanning set on their biggest headline tour to date with ‘Three Cheers For 20 Years’, a celebration of their storied, two-decade career – and you’re all invited! Joining the festivities will be special guests and recently reunited Jack’s Mannequin (US) and The Home Team (US).

As one of the most enduring acts to rise from the underground in the mid-aughts, Mayday Parade has soundtracked both adolescence and adulthood for millions of listeners.

Their music stands synonymous with the emo and pop-punk genres: 2007’s A Lesson In Romantics, their debut LP has been hailed as one of the best – and most influential – emo albums of all time by Alternative Press.

Monsters In The Closet, their 2013 release, debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, and tracks like the Platinum-selling “Jamie All Over,” Gold-certified “Miserable At Best” and “Oh Well, Oh Well” represent not only widespread commercial acclaim, but the sort of artist-audience relationship that’s fortified them across changing musical landscapes and the ebb and flow of an unforgiving industry.

Now, as they celebrate a remarkable 20 years as a band in 2025, the Tallahassee, Florida, five-piece are set to release perhaps their most aspirational effort yet: a three-part album showcasing their prolific, emotionally resonant songwriting.

The first entry, Sweet, arrives April 18, 2025, led by the effervescent bounce of “By The Way,” a pitch-perfect blend of what’s made Mayday Parade a genre mainstay for decades: a tender, piano-led groove ultimately giving way to a crush of stereo guitars, ascendent melodies, and heart-on-sleeve lyricism.

“As we got closer to our 20th anniversary, it felt right to do something big and unexpected,” vocalist Derek Sanders says.
