New England rock fans, brace yourselves—Three Days Grace is back with a powerhouse reunion track that promises to shake the foundations of the rock world. The veteran Canadian rock band has unveiled their latest single, “Mayday,” a compelling anthem that features both their original frontman, Adam Gontier, and current lead vocalist, Matt Walst, sharing the mic for the first time. Released via RCA Records, this collaboration signals a new era for the band, blending nostalgia with a forward-thinking edge.
The track, produced by Zakk Cervini and Dan Lancaster with vocal production by Howard Benson, delivers everything fans have come to expect from Three Days Grace: driving rhythms, soaring melodies, and lyrics that cut to the heart of societal struggles. The accompanying music video, directed by CiRCUS HEaD, is a visual spectacle now available on YouTube.
In a statement, the band described the song as a reflection of today’s societal pressures: “This song is a reflection of the current state of the world, an unsettling mix of disillusionment, exhaustion, and denial… So even though we feel like we are barely surviving, we keep moving forward, one foot in front of the other.”
Rock Royalty: Past and Present Unite
This release is the first since the surprising return of Adam Gontier, the band’s founding vocalist who left in 2013. Gontier’s return to the stage alongside Matt Walst, who took over vocal duties in the interim, marks a rare and exciting collaboration between two eras of the band.
With 18 #1 hits on Mediabase Active Rock and 17 on the Billboard/BDS Active Rock charts, Three Days Grace is no stranger to success. Their catalog of hits—including iconic tracks like “I Hate Everything About You,” “Animal I Have Become,” and “Never Too Late”—has earned them millions of fans worldwide, as well as multiple Juno and iHeartRadio Music Award nominations.
A Tour to Remember
Fans can catch the band live as they hit the road in 2025 to support Disturbed on the first leg of The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour. This tour will not only showcase their latest work but also mark Gontier’s long-awaited return to live performances with Three Days Grace. Tour dates include major stops across the U.S. and Canada, from Madison Square Garden in New York City to Montreal’s Centre Bell.
Festival Season Awaits
In addition to the Disturbed tour, Three Days Grace has been confirmed for a trio of massive rock festivals in 2025: Sonic Temple in Columbus, Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, and Inkcarceration in Mansfield, Ohio.
For fans in New England, the closest opportunity to witness this historic reunion will be at the TD Garden in Boston on March 14, 2025. Tickets for the tour are expected to sell quickly, so fans are encouraged to act fast.
As Three Days Grace reclaims their place in the hard rock pantheon, “Mayday” stands as a testament to their enduring talent and relevance. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their music, this is a moment you won’t want to miss.
