My Chemical Romance returns with 2025’s ‘The Black Parade’ tour

NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly two decades ago, My Chemical Romance released their career-defining album rock opera, “The Black Parade,” cementing their shift away from music mainstays the emo scene to mainstream recognition and become one of the most inventive bands of the 21st century.

In 2025, fans will be able to experience the 2006 album again: the band will embark on a 10-date North American stadium tour, where they will perform “The Black Parade” in its entirety, following their headlining performance last month at Las Vegas’ When We Were Young Festival.

The tour, which was announced Tuesday, kicks off on July 11 in Seattle and ends on September 13 in Tampa, Florida. It hits San Francisco; Los Angeles; Arlington, TX; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Philadelphia; Toronto; Chicago and Boston.

Each date will feature a different opener, from veterans such as Alice Cooper and Devo to alternative rock contemporaries such as Evanescence and Thursday, but also to newer talent, such as 100 Gecs and Wallows.

My Chemical Romance formed in 2001 and released four studio albums during their career, the first of which broke through with 2004’s ‘Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge’. announced their breakup in 2013; a year later they released a greatest hits collection titled “May Death Never Stop You.” In 2019, they announced a reunion, later revealing that they privately reunited two years earlier.

A reunion tour was planned for 2020, but rescheduled due to the pandemic postponed until 2022. That year they released their first new song since 2014: “The Foundations of Decay.”

Tickets yes go on sale Friday at 10am local time.
