All Time Low & Mayday Parade live in Washington

All Time Low’s Everyone’s Talking! World Tour made one of its most anticipated stops at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. on November 26th, 2025, bringing a packed lineup and an even more packed crowd. As the closest tour stop to Baltimore, Maryland—All Time Low’s hometown—the evening carried an unmistakable sense of homecoming energy from the moment doors opened. 

The Paradox and Four Year Strong set the tone early in the night, ringing out some incredible hits that got the crowd moving. Mayday Parade, longtime staples of the alternative and pop-punk scene, delivered a set that struck the perfect balance between nostalgia and renewed vitality. Derek Sanders’ vocals were emotive and incredible, doling out fan favourites while also giving newer songs a well-received spotlight. The band’s connection with the audience was palpable, with crowd surfer after crowd surfer making their way over the sea of hands up into the arms of security guards, mosh pits breaking out around the venue, and lyrics being screamed louder than the amps could play. 

Mayday Parade’s performance also set an emotional precedent for the rest of the evening. Their set was a love letter to fans who have grown up with them. Their performance didn’t just warm up the crowd, it elevated the atmosphere entirely, setting the stage for the hometown heroes everyone was waiting for.

When All Time Low finally took the stage, The Anthem exploded with a level of excitement that could only come from a homecoming show. The setlist spanned their extensive catalogue, weaving classic staples with material from Everyone’s Talking! era. Their crowd interaction and tight musicianship made the night feel both polished and intimately personal. Even from the massive stage, the band maintained the crowd-to-artist connection that has long defined their live performances.

As fans poured out into the frigid and windy D.C. harbour night, there was a shared sense that this show would linger long after the amps cooled. The Anthem became a temporary home for thousands who came to celebrate the music that shaped them. If Everyone’s Talking! World Tour is a testament to anything, it’s that these bands continue to thrive not just because of their songs, but because of the community they’ve built around them.
