My Chemical Romance Revive ‘The Black Parade’ for 2025 Tour

Come one, come all to this not-so-tragic affair: The Black Parade has returned. My Chemical Romance will celebrate their seminal rock opera album with a 10-date celebration tour next summer across the U.S. The band, led by Gerard Way and accompanied by Ray Toro, Frank Iero, and Mikey Way, will hit stadiums from Los Angeles to their native New Jersey. Each date will feature a different opening act, including rock newcomers IDLES and emo staples Death Cab for Cutie and Thursday.

The tour news comes a day after the band teased the announcement with a cryptic Instagram post, captioned “If you could be anything, what would you be?” Fans speculated that the post could be a nod to MCR’s scrapped album The Paper Kingdom.

Last month, MCR revived the iconic album at the When We Were Young music festival in Las Vegas in October where they performed The Black Parade in full. Since its 2006 release, the concept album has been heralded in the emo music scene and beyond. Rolling Stone named it one of The Greatest 500 Albums of All Time.
