Formed in New Jersey in 2001 by Gerard Way and Matt Pelissier, the band reformed in 2019 after disbanding in 2013, with Mikey Way joining later, inspired by Irvine Welsh’s novel.

Fans in Australia are eagerly awaiting additional tour dates, expressing frustration and hope on social media for the band to include Australia.
The tour will feature theatrical and interactive performances, including audience participation and dramatic elements, especially during the full performance of 'The Black Parade'.

Their iconic album 'The Black Parade' continues to influence new artists and remains relevant today, sparking ongoing conversations about mental health and grief.
Songs like 'Welcome to the Black Parade' and 'I Don’t Love You' have become anthems of resilience, resonating deeply with fans facing feelings of isolation.
My Chemical Romance is set to kick off their highly anticipated 'The Black Parade 2026 Tour' with dates across Europe, the UK, South America, and North America, featuring iconic venues like the Hollywood Bowl, Comerica Park, Nissan Stadium, and Citi Field.
