Tallahassee, Florida’s Mayday Parade – vocalist Derek Sanders, drummer/vocalist Jake Bundrick, guitarists Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts and bassist/vocalist Jeremy Lenzo – announce a massive North American 20-Year Anniversary Tour this Spring. Aptly titled Three Cheers for Twenty Years, the nearly two-month long trek will feature music from every stage of their two decade career including hits, standards, deep cuts and new material. Things kick-off on April 22nd in St. Petersburg, FL at Jannus Live and the headline run has them out through June 7th when they return home to Tallahassee, FL where they’ll play The Moon.
“This tour is the culmination of the band’s career for the past 20 years, and as such, we really wanted to go all out and provide our fans with a memorable and very special experience. We will be celebrating our deep music catalog starting at this band’s inception and continuing with our new releases this year. We are all very proud of what we’ve done, and when I say we, I mean the five of us, our crew – touring, production, and administrative – and, most importantly, you, the fans. Everyone always says that without you, we couldn’t do this, and I know that sounds like a cliche at this point, but that sentiment is repeated because of its literal and figurative truth. While we may “make” the music you enjoy, your energy and support fuel this dream. We look forward to seeing you at these shows and celebrating the past 20 years with us.” – Alex Garcia
News of the Spring headline tour follows last week’s announcement of an ambitious new three-part album, marking the band’s first self-released collection since 2006’s Tales Told By Dead Friends EP. The initial installment, Sweet, arrives on April 18, 2025 and demonstrates just how far Mayday Parade has evolved since forming in 2005. Recorded with longtime collaborators, multiplatinum engineers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (All Time Low, Jimmy Eat World), the trilogy of releases will serve as Mayday Parade’s eight full-length studio album and first LP since 2021’s What It Means To Fall Apart.
