On May 5, 2025, Mayday Parade brought their “Three Cheers for Twenty Years” tour to The Van Buren in Phoenix, delivering a heartfelt celebration of two decades in the emo and pop-punk scene. Support acts Microwave, Grayscale, and Like Roses set the tone for the evening, each delivering energetic performances that resonated with the audience. They all had a special hint to their stage presence such as the vibrant mushrooms for Microwave, or the four leaf clover with the suicide hotline on Grayscale’s stage.

Throughout the night, lead vocalist Derek Sanders engaged the crowd with heartfelt emotions, emphasizing the band’s gratitude for their fans’ unwavering support over the years. The intimate venue amplified the connection between the band and the audience, making the anniversary show a memorable experience for all in attendance. One of the most heartfelt touches was when they added old footage from Warped Tour when the band first formed.

As the final moments echoed through The Van Buren, it was clear that Mayday Parade’s legacy continues to thrive, fueled by their passionate performances and a dedicated fanbase. Their fanbase has proven to be stronger than ever, even 20 years later. If you have the opportunity to catch this show, do not miss it, this is going to be a history show down the road.
