My Chemical Romance Black Parade Tour 2026: Where to buy tickets

My Chemical Romance‘s “Black Parade” is far from over.

After touring North America this past summer, the emo heroes will do it all over again in 2026 when they play ballparks, football stadiums, bowls and domes with high-profile special guests in the U.K. and U.S. from July through October.

That includes a huge gig early on in the run at Queens’ Citi Field on Sunday, Aug. 9. Franz Ferdinand will provide support.

Other notable big-name opening acts include Pierce The Veil (Aug. 13 in Nashville), Modest Mouse (Aug. 18 in Washington, D.C.), Iggy Pop (Aug. 21 in Detroit), Jimmy Eat World (Sept. 6 in Phoenix) and The Mars Volta (Sept. 12 in San Antonio) among others.

They’ll close the trek with three concerts at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl from Oct. 21-24.

On top of the international tour, Gerard Way and co. are also slated to headline Daytona Beach’s Welcome to Rockville Festival (May 7-10), Columbus, OH’s Sonic Temple Festival (May 14-17) and Louisville, KY’s Louder Than Life Festival (TBD).

“The theatrics of ‘The Black Parade Tour’s’ heady, high-concept first half both left me in awe and overwhelmed as evidenced by the loud, scary firework bombs,” The Post wrote in an emphatic review of the band’s August 2025 concert at MetLife Stadium.

“As a result, the stripped-down second half was much more my speed…either way, I am fully enlisted in the Black Parade. My only complaint? The show almost felt too short because it was so engaging and enjoyable.”
