My Chemical Romance’s iconic “Black Parade” is set to make a major return in 2026 with an extensive tour across the U.K. and the U.S. Following a successful North American tour over the summer, the band has announced a string of performances at major venues, including ballparks, football stadiums, and domes, from July to October. Among the highly anticipated shows is a notable performance at Queens’ Citi Field on August 9, featuring Franz Ferdinand as the opening act.
The tour will also feature a variety of special guests on different dates, including acts like Pierce The Veil in Nashville, Modest Mouse in Washington, D.C., Iggy Pop in Detroit, Jimmy Eat World in Phoenix, and The Mars Volta in San Antonio. My Chemical Romance will wrap up their tour with a three-night performance at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl from October 21 to 24.
In addition to their tour, the band is slated to headline several major festivals, including Daytona Beach’s Welcome to Rockville Festival, Columbus’ Sonic Temple Festival, and Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville. These performances promise an engaging experience, as highlighted by The Post’s review of the band’s 2025 concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which was praised for its engaging theatrics and exhilarating performance.
Fans looking to catch My Chemical Romance live can purchase tickets through platforms like Vivid Seats, a secondary market ticketing platform known for its secure transactions. The official sale for the 2026 tour begins on September 26.
The band has kept fans entertained with a robust set list, bringing back hits like “Welcome to the Black Parade” and surprising fans with a Bon Jovi cover of “Livin’ on a Prayer. Additionally, Gerard Way has been working on new music, contributing to the release of “I Wanna Know Your Name” with The Mock Ups, a collaboration featuring notable musicians from Fender and The Interrupters.
This upcoming tour is an exciting opportunity for both longstanding fans and newcomers to experience the magic of My Chemical Romance live, alongside a diverse range of musical guests promising memorable performances.
