My Chemical Romance is officially keeping ‘The Black Parade’ going in 2026, marking the iconic album’s 20-year anniversary with even more dates! After their absolutely wild, show-stopping return to the stage in 2025, it felt like we were getting a victory lap nobody wanted to end, and guess what? They heard us! The band is diving headfirst into an extended tour, adding shows across Latin America, Europe, and thankfully, more stops right here in North America. This is the moment fans have been screaming for, a true chance to relive the glory, the angst, the absolute fire of two decades of a genre-defining album. You just know these shows are going to be legendary.
Tickets Are Already Flying, You Know It
Seriously, if you thought getting tickets for their 2025 return was tough, then you better buckle up! My Chemical Romance just wrapped up their initial North American run, but the excitement for these new dates is absolutely through the roof. Passes are in ridiculously high demand right now, and we’re already seeing some intense pricing pop up. For their first standalone concert of the year, hitting Queens at Citi Field, you’re looking at a get-in price of $400. That is not cheap! Other shows, like the one in Denver at Coors Field and the final of three dates in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl, both start at $250. This isn’t just another concert, it’s a major event, a cultural moment, and the market definitely knows it. You’ve gotta hit up StubHub if you even hope to snag a seat before they’re all gone.
The ‘Black Parade’ Rollout and That Mind-Blowing Lineup
Get ready for a serious pop-punk reunion, because MCR isn’t coming alone on this extended run. The band will be joined by a killer lineup of other big artists on this tour. We’re talking about Franz Ferdinand, Piece the Veil, Modest Mouse, Iggy Pop, Sleater-Kinney, The Breeders, Babymetal, Jimmy Eat World, and The Mars Volta. Are you kidding me? That roster is absolutely stacked! The source literally says “Talk about a pop-punk reunion,” and they nailed it. It’s like every band you wanted to see in one place.
The ‘Black Parade’ Tour picks back up in the U.S. with a couple of festivals in the spring before the individual concerts really start to hit in late summer. They’re kicking things off with Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, FL on May 10 and Sonic Temple in Columbus, OH on May 14. Then the standalone shows start to really crank up in August, hitting Queens, NY on Aug. 9 at Citi Field, Nashville, TN on Aug. 13 at Nissan Stadium, Washington, DC on Aug. 18 at Nationals Park, Detroit, MI on Aug. 21 at Comerica Park, Minneapolis, MN on Aug. 24 at Target Field, Denver, CO on Aug. 27 at Coors Field, and San Diego, CA on Aug. 30 at Petco Park. September brings them to Phoenix, AZ on Sept. 6 at Chase Field and San Antonio, TX on Sept. 12 at Alamodome, with another festival stop at Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY on Sept. 18. They’ll wrap it all up with three massive shows in Los Angeles on Oct. 21, Oct. 23, and Oct. 24 at the legendary Hollywood Bowl.
This extended tour is a monumental moment for fans worldwide, giving us another shot at seeing these legends perform. If you’ve been waiting for your chance to join ‘The Black Parade’ in person, this is it. You’ve got to move quick because these tickets will be gone faster than Gerard Way’s hair color changes. This 20-year celebration is going to be absolutely unforgettable, don’t miss out!
