After a weekend of speculation sparked by mysterious billboards in Phoenix and other major cities, the wait is over: My Chemical Romance has officially announced new live dates across North America to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their landmark third album. “The Black Parade 2026” tour will bring the band to stadiums across North America, the UK, and Europe next year.

The pairing highlights a long-running connection between the two bands, who first toured together in Australia in 2005 and have since appeared on the same lineups at numerous festivals, including multiple years at When We Were Young Festival. Their parallel trajectory underscores a shared legacy in shaping the alternative and emo scenes, and brings added resonance to what promises to be a standout night for Arizona fans.
Tickets for all dates on the “Black Parade 2026” tour go on sale Friday, September 26 at 12:00 pm local time on Ticketmaster.
The announcement confirms what fans suspected when they spotted the cryptic Keposhka glyphs and teaser images on billboards in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, and Nashville: My Chemical Romance is marching back, bigger than ever.
