Canada’s own Three Days Grace is riding a major wave of momentum in 2025, cementing a remarkable chapter in the band’s long career. The rock veterans not only scored the year‑end No. 1 spot on the Billboard Canada Mainstream Rock chart with their single Mayday, but they also continued an unprecedented surge on rock radio on both sides of the border.
A key factor in this renewed success is the band’s lineup evolution: original frontman Adam Gontier rejoined, and now performs alongside longtime vocalist Matt Walst, giving Three Days Grace a distinctive dual‑lead sound that has resonated with fans and industry alike.
Their 2025 record Alienation has produced a string of hits, most notably Kill Me Fast, which clinched their 20th No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart — a rare milestone that places them second only to rock powerhouse Shinedown in chart history.
This year’s achievements add to the group’s storied legacy. Longtime listeners were reminded of their staying power when the band’s 2003 breakout anthem I Hate Everything About You joined Spotify’s Billion Streams Club, underscoring how their classic material continues to find audiences even as their new work climbs charts.
From renewed creativity to sustained commercial achievements, Three Days Grace’s 2025 illustrates how a band can evolve its sound without losing sight of the rock roots that made them influential in the first place.
