It’s not a phase, mum – it’s a stadium tour.
In breaking-news-for-formerly-black-haired teens everywhere, My Chemical Romance have announced The Black Parade 2026, a massive, scream-worthy, world-spanning stadium tour in honour of their third studio album turning 20. Yep, twenty. Let that sink in while you reapply your eyeliner.
Following the chaos of their Long Live: The Black Parade run (which casually moved 450,000+ tickets in just 10 cities), the band is officially levelling up. This time it’s bigger, louder, and somehow even more dramatic. The new run kicks off in South America this January, rolls through Southeast Asia in April, and hits Europe and the UK in summer, landing at Anfield, Wembley (three nights, no less), and Madrid. Then it’s onto North America for autumn, finishing with a three-night finale at LA’s Hollywood Bowl in October. Iconic behaviour.
And in case you’re wondering, yes, they do have 3 nights at Wembley Stadium locked in!
Here’s the bit where you check if you’re emotionally prepared: this isn’t just a nostalgia cash-grab. The Black Parade still hits like a truck, and MCR’s live shows are arguably even better now. Gerard’s voice? Still razor-sharp. Theatrics? Unmatched. The fandom? Unhinged in the best way.
If you managed to get to one of the recent shows, you’ll know the drill: full costume, full storytelling, no emotional mercy. If you didn’t? Now’s your chance. Expect the entire Black Parade in all its operatic glory, plus the kind of crowd that sings every word like their life depends on it. (Because, honestly, it probably does.)
UK/EU shows kick off June 30 in Liverpool and wrap July 18 in Madrid. The North American leg starts August 9 in NYC and finishes up October 24 in LA. They’re also making stops at Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple, and Louder Than Life festivals. Latin America and Southeast Asia get love too, full dates are up, and it’s already looking like a global emo pilgrimage.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, 27th September at 12PM local time. Set your alarms, block your calendars, and maybe call your group chat now because let’s be honest, this one’s going to sell fast.
