Mayday Parade
Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne
September 12
Mayday Parade (US), supported by Jack’s Mannequin (US) and The Home Team (US) entertained a nearly full arena crowd on Friday night with their Three Cheers for 20 Years tour.
Jack’s Mannequin prepped the crowd with tracks for their 2005 EP Everything in Transit, and the fans at the barrier didn’t disappoint during their most popular The Mixed Tape and Dark Blue tracks.
Mayday Parade gave it their all for their opening show on tour, opening with By the Way and Just Say You’re Not Into It to screaming fans. As a long-time fan of the band, it felt surreal being next to the barrier of similar-age fans screaming the lyrics back to the band.
They continued the night with other key hits like Bruised and Scarred and Piece of Your Heart, before ending their Melbourne show with their most popular and loudest from the crowd, Jamie All Over.
