Mayday Parade announce new album ‘Sugar’

MAYDAY PARADE have announced a brand new album!

The upcoming release, titled Sugar, is the third and final instalment of the band’s ambitious three-part album trilogy and is scheduled to be released on July 24th, 2026. The album follows Sweet and Sad, and completes a nearly two-year creative undertaking which has seen the band write, record and release nearly 30 songs while celebrating 20 years together.

Alongside the announcement, the band have released the new single Weekend Music, offering the first glimpse into the record’s blend of nostalgia, reflection and forward momentum.

Speaking about the new track, vocalist Derek Sanders shares, “when we began working on Sugar – part three of a three album release – I started to get concerned that we had overextended ourselves. That the good ideas had run dry and needed more time to replenish. Weekend Music is one of the songs that came together and put me at ease, it has the catchiness and complexity that I was looking for. It feels good to be able to create a song that we’re proud of so deep into our career.”
