My Chemical Romance, the bubble-gum emo caterwaulers that validated millions of questionable fashion choices in the mid-2000s, have announced the Long Live: The Black Parade tour for 2026. Tickets for the shows will go on sale at 12pm on Friday 26 September. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of the band’s UK tour dates. 

As the tour title suggests, this globe-trotting tour of stadiums comes in celebration of the band’s culturally monolithic third album, The Black Parade, which celebrates its 20th anniversary next year. The operatic concept album broke into the mainstream upon its release thanks to hit singles like ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’, ‘I Don’t Love You’, ‘Famous Last Words’ and ‘Teenagers’, merging the emo aesthetic with hints of baroque-pomp a la Queen and lashings of glam-stomp silliness. 

After reforming in 2019, the Gerard Way-fronted act have mainly toured the hits at nostalgia festivals like When We Were Young, however the Long Live: The Black Parade, also aims to tell an ambitious story about a fictitious dictatorship called Draag. 

The UK leg of the tour will kick off at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on Tuesday 30 June, before heading to Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park on Saturday 4 July and London’s Wembley Stadium on Wednesday 8, Friday 10 and Saturday 11 July. Support for the shows is yet to be announced.
