Time to sharpen your black eyeliner. My Chemical Romance is extending the band’s Long Live the Black Parade tour into 2026. But if you want to get tickets for the new tour, you’re going to have to check back in a few days.
The Black Parade is the third studio album from My Chemical Romance, composed of Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Ray Toro and Frank Iero. The concept album tells the story of a man’s journey into the afterlife and features singles like “Welcome to the Black Parade” and “Famous Last Words.”
The band initially toured the album in 2007 and 2008 with the Black Parade World Tour. In 2024, two years after reuniting for a COVID-delayed 2022 tour, the group played the album in full at the Las Vegas When We Were Young festival. They then announced a 10-city stadium tour that kicked off in July 2025.
The series of concerts was praised for its unique experience that blended rock concert with experimental theater. And on Monday, the band revealed there’s even more to come, with 17 additional tour dates announced for 2026.
