My Chemical Romance sold out their 2025 stadium reunion tour, Long Live the Black Parade, with 365,000 tickets bought since last Friday. Following the large demand for tickets, the band has also added a second show in Los Angeles on July 27 at Dodgers Stadium. Bringing fans back to 2006 when the album was originally released, My Chemical Romance will perform the Black Parade in its entirety, a rare and special celebration of what some call one of emo’s era-defining records. More than just an album, The Black Parade is a conceptual rock opera that explores themes of mortality, grief and resilience.
The band will reunite for ten shows across North America making stops in bigger cities in the United States like Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston with one night in Toronto, Canada.
“My Chemical Romance would like to thank their fans for selling out their 2025 stadium tour,” a press release stated. “Hours after tickets went on sale last Friday, fans acted quickly and 365,000 tickets were sold.”
My Chemical Romance will be joined on stage with a different opening act each night. Performers will include Violent Femmes in Seattle, 100 Gecs in San Francisco, Wallows in Los Angeles, Garbage in Arlington, Death Cab for Cutie and Thursday in East Rutherford, Alice Cooper in Philadelphia, Pixies in Toronto, Devo in Chicago, IDLES in Boston and Evanescence in Tampa.
In the recent months, My Chemical Romance has been making a comeback. Towards the end of October, the band surprised fans by playing “Disenchanted” and “The End” live for the first time in 17 years during their set at Las Vegas’ edition of When We Were Young festival. Both songs are from the Black Parade record and will be performed again on tour.
