Florida quintet and finest pop-punk export, Mayday Parade have announced their return to the UK for a full headline tour, kicking off in Milton Keynes on 16 May and including gigs in Liverpool, Cardiff, Manchester and London’s KOKO as well as many more.
This 16-date tour will be a welcome return for the band – who we last saw on our shores in October 2010 for an incredible co-headline tour with The Maine. This full headline tour will also include appearances at rocks finest festival, Slamdunk in Leeds and London on 28 and 29 May respectively.
Forming in 2005, Mayday Parade have already proved themselves to be one of pop-punks hardest working bands around – notching up some impressive tours and sharing the stage with the likes of All Time Low, Set Your Goals, The Academy Is… as well as taking part in the prestigious Vans Warped Tour.
2010 was anything but quiet for the guys amidst the touring they released their second studio album ‘Anywhere But Here’ in September – it enjoyed huge support from the rock press both here and across the pond, where the album debuted at #31 on the Billboard Top 200!
A favourite in the pop-punk circuit and live scene, Mayday Parade will always guarantee to put on an amazing and energetic show every single night. “Guitars are flung…spun…Mayday Parade…are exploding with the youthful exuberance of pop-punk” – Rock Sound
