As Mayday Parade hit the stage, applause swept through the venue. The band opened with “By The Way,” immediately setting the tone for the night. For the next ninety minutes, the Florida quintet delivered a career-spanning set that served as both a victory lap and a love letter to the fans who grew up with them. Tracks like “Jersey,” “Bruised and Scarred,” and “Oh Well, Oh Well” were met with passionate singalongs, while deeper cuts like “Stay” and “Anywhere But Here” gave longtime followers a chance to hear songs live that shaped their teenage years. Vocalist Derek Sanders often paused between songs to thank the crowd for two decades of support. At multiple points, he stepped behind a piano for songs including “Miserable at Best” and “Terrible Things.” The entire venue sang so loud you couldn’t even tell Derek was singing. The band’s chemistry, having been built on years of touring and recording, was definitely something every band would want. Each member looked like they were exactly where they wanted to be, and the gratitude shining from the stage was noticeable.
