Fresh off a triumphant UK tour with The Mary Wallopers and poised for a breakout summer, SexyTadhg returns with “My Parade”, a blazing disco-rock anthem and Pride-season battle cry that cements the Irish artist’s status as one of the most fearless and captivating voices in modern music.
With bombastic production, theatrical flair, and a righteous message, “My Parade” acts as a declaration. It pulses with the ecstatic energy of protest and pageant, joyfully demanding space for queer liberation and cultural reckoning. SexyTadhg, already known for their virtuosic live performances and genre-defying art-pop sound, channels their trademark fire into what is arguably their most urgent work yet.
Built on a foundation of thumping percussion, glittering guitar lines, and soaring vocal theatrics, “My Parade” radiates empowerment. SexyTadhg’s vocal performance is electrifying, simultaneously vulnerable and defiant, inviting listeners to march with them, not behind them. “This song has given me so much strength over the last year,” they share, and that strength is infectious. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t just play—it uplifts, confronts, and mobilises.
As the lead single from their upcoming EP Sexy (out July 9), “My Parade” offers a bold taste of what’s to come: a raw, genre-melting celebration of identity, resistance, sensuality, and the queer experience in modern Ireland. With past accolades including a sold-out support run with Eurovision legend Loreen, collaborations with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and a Fringe Festival “Radical Spirit” Award, SexyTadhg’s star is rising fast, and unapologetically so.
With “My Parade”, SexyTadhg not only gives us a glitter-drenched anthem but stakes a claim in Irish music history as a leader of a movement: radical, bilingual, queer, and unbowed.
