Mayday Parade mark two decades of poppy punk with show in Orlando this week

Florida’s Mayday Parade are celebrating 20 years since their start with a new record and a run of sold-out shows, including in the City Beautiful this week.

Founded in Tallahassee, the pop-punk stalwarts are releasing a new trilogy (!) of albums to make up for lost time, starting with first chapter Sweet, released this month.

The band has come a long way from hustling their self-released CDs at Warped Tour parking lots. Sweet is their first album since 2006’s Tales Told by Dead Friends, and it sees the band taking full control of their destiny by releasing it themselves.

Their “Three Cheers for 20 Years Tour” is selling out shows all over, and Orlando is no exception. They’ll be joined by Atlanta’s psychedel- ic Microwave, Philly rockers Grayscale, and the Bay Area’s Like Roses.

6 p.m. Thursday, April 24, House of Blues, SOLD OUT.
