My Chemical Romance announces the tour dates for ‘The Black Parade’

Calling all Angel emos: My Chemical Romance is celebrating its seminal album ‘The Black Parade’ with a stadium tour planned for next summer.

The “Long Live the Black Parade” tour will travel to 10 U.S. cities from July to September 2025 – including a stop on July 26 at Dodger Stadium. Announced opening acts for the tour include an LA pop rock band wallows, emo staples Death Cab for Cutie and Evanescence, as well as modern troops 100 gecs and IDLES.

“It’s been seventeen years since The Black Parade was sent to MOAT,” the band wrote in a tour announcement on Tuesday Instagram. “At that time a great dictator came to power, who brought about ‘THE CONCRETE AGE’; a glorious time of stability and abundance in the history of DAAG.”

The post continued: “His Great Immortal Dictator wishes to celebrate our rich and storied culture, fine food and musical entertainment by welcoming you to these great displays of power and determination. And for the first time in six thousand two hundred and forty-six days, voice and song will be lent, as their work privileges are solemnly restored, by the national band of His Grand Immortal Dictator…The Black Parade.

The tour news comes after MCR dropped a cryptic image on the tour on Monday social channelswith the caption: “If you could be anything, what would you be?” Fans speculated that the post was teasing the band’s scrapped album ‘The Paper Kingdom’.

MCR fans may instead have taken the band’s Oct. 20 performance of “The Black Parade” in its entirety at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas as a clue — which will be at next summer’s shows repeated.

My Chemical Romance formed in 2001 and released four studio albums – each selling over a million copies – during its twelve-year run. A year after his dissolution in 2013the band released a greatest hits collection, “May Death Never Stop You.”

In 2019, MCR announced a reunion tour, which was rescheduled from 2020 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also in 2022, the band released their first new song in eight years: “The Foundations of Decay.”

In 2023, Rolling Stone named “The Black Parade” one of its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The project received a Grammy nomination in 2008.
