My Chemical Romance in 2025

My Chemical Romance just wrapped up the North American leg of their wildly successful Long Live the Black Parade tour, where they played their 2006 album of the same name in full each night.

The band headlined this year's Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta on Saturday (Sept. 20). No tour dates are scheduled for the rest of 2025. They will begin a South American tour on Jan. 22 in Bogota, Colombia.

The "Long Live": The Black Parade North American Tour saw My Chemical Romance play their iconic album in full each night before playing a second set of songs pulled from the rest of their catalog. The first set each night was celebrated not only for the performance of The Black Parade album, but also a storyline that played out on stage with the band and a cast of actors.

Each stop on the tour contained slight variations to the production, making for an ever-evolving story throughout the tour.
