Mayday Parade complete their album trilogy with “Sugar”
After almost a year and a half and three chapters in total, it is complete: Mayday Parade have released “Sugar”, the final instalment of their ambitious album trilogy. What began with “Sweet” in spring 2025 and continued with “Sad” in autumn 2025 now reaches its conclusion, delivering one of the summer’s biggest pop-punk moments in the process.

The trilogy totals almost 30 songs released over roughly a year and a half — no small undertaking for a band who have been part of the pop-punk and emo world for more than 15 years (source: Prelude Press). In the run-up, the band set the stage for the grand finale with tracks such as “Weekend Music” and, most recently, “Lying To Myself”.
“What Happens Next” closes both the record and the trilogy as a whole. According to the band, it not only marks the end of this chapter but also offers a glimpse of Mayday Parade’s musical future.
