The Black Parade will march on well into 2026. My Chemical Romance announced on Monday morning (Sept. 22) that their ongoing celebration of their landmark third album, the 2006 concept LP The Black Parade, will continue with 17 new dates in the U.K., Europe and the U.S.
The newly announced Black Parade 2026 dates are slated to kick off on June 30 at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, U.K., before moving on to a July 4 gig at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, two more shows at Wembley Stadium in London (July 10, 11) and 12 fresh U.S. shows. The American gigs will find the emo punks playing major ballparks across the country, including CitiField in New York (Aug. 9), Nissan Stadium in Nashville (Aug. 13), Nationals Park in Washington. D.C. (Aug. 18), Comerica Park in Detroit (Aug. 21), Target Field in Minneapolis (Aug. 24) and Coors Field in Denver (Aug. 27).
The run of show will conclude with a three-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Oct. 21, 23 and 24.
The band’s ambitious production finds them dressing up as their alter egos The Black Parade, as well as a hard-to-miss commentary on totalitarianism via an appearance from His Grand Immortal Dictator’s National Band and a shocking mid-show mock execution featuring four cardboard executioners blasting away at four blindfolded prisoners. To date, according to a release, they’ve sold more than 450,000 tickets in just 10 North American markets on the tour.
The upcoming shows will feature a variety of special guests, including Franz Ferdinand, Pierce the Veil, Modest Mouse, Iggy Pop, Sleater-Kinney, the Breeders, Babymetal, Jimmy Eat World and the Mars Volta. Tickets for all the new dates will go on sale this Friday (Sept. 26) at noon local time here.
Prior to embarking on the new dates, the band will play a run of shows in Mexico and South America in January and February, before moving on to Southeast Asia. They also have a pair of May festival stops on the roster, at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, Fla. on May 10 and Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio on May 14, as well as Louder Than Life in Louisville, Ky. on Sept. 18.
