Mayday Parade have announced Sugar, the third and final installment of their three-part album trilogy, due out July 24, 2026, bringing their 20th anniversary celebration to a close. The band have also released a new single and music video for “Weekend Music.” “Weekend Music” is one of the album’s most uplifting moments.

The album completes a nearly two-year creative undertaking that has seen the band write, record and release nearly 30 songs while celebrating 20 years together.

Reflecting on the creation of “Weekend Music,” lead vocalist Derek Sanders shares:

When we began working on Sugar – part three of a three album release – I started to get concerned that we had overextended ourselves. That the good ideas had run dry and needed more time to replenish. ‘Weekend Music’ is one of the songs that came together and put me at ease, it has the catchiness and complexity that I was looking for. It feels good to be able to create a song that we’re proud of so deep into our career. 

The album was once again Produced by longtime collaborators Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount.
