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.
Among the tour stops is a highly anticipated show in Phoenix, AZ, where My Chemical Romance will perform at Chase Field on September 6, 2026, joined by Jimmy Eat World, a hometown favorite.
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.

The Father of Make Believe due March 14th
VIA VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP
Coheed and Cambria also have shared the new single “Someone Who Can” from their forthcoming album The Father of Make Believe, set for release on March 14th via Virgin Music Group.
Yesterday Lost
Goodbye, Sunshine
Searching For Tomorrow
The Father of Make Believe
Meri of Mercy
Blind Side Sonny
Play The Poet
One Last Miracle
Corner My Confidence
Someone Who Can
The Continuum I: Welcome to Forever, Mr. Nobody
The Continuum II: The Flood
The Continuum III: Tethered Together
The Continuum IV: So It Goes
“Someone Who Can” is arguably the band’s most accessible song in their 24-year career. Frontman Claudio Sanchez remarked, “When you’re growing up, you’re perpetually trying to understand the world that’s changing around you. Over time, it’s comforting to reach the conclusion that you’ll never truly have things figured out.”
Along with the track’s release, the band shared its heartwarming video (directed by Mason Mercer) where we glimpse the early days of Coheed and Cambria in and around Nyack, New York. “Someone Who Can” follows the previously shared singles Blind Side Sonny and Searching For Tomorrow along with Claudio Covers, which arrived at the end of last year.
Third Eye Blind is excited to announce the fourth edition of the Summer Gods Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will begin June 8 in Spokane through August 3 in Houston, with special guests Yellowcard and A R I Z O N A.
GENERAL ONSALE FRIDAY, JANUARY 12 @ 10AM LOCAL TIME
Tickets will be available for presale Tuesday, January 9 with Citi, and additional presales throughout the week. General onsale will begin Friday, January 12 at 10:00am local time at ThirdEyeBlind.com.

“I have this sense that I am feeling the same way everybody else is—that we need a summer tour so badly, like more than ever,” says Stephan Jenkins. “We need the lights, the noise, the heat and everybody up close to each other, singing as one. Can’t wait.”
“Third Eye Blind self-titled is a masterclass in songwriting that blew all of our minds when it released in 1997,” says Ryan Key of Yellowcard. “As 90s kids we were gifted with so much incredible music in our formative years and we are all such massive fans of the band because of that record. It doesn’t feel real yet that we will be sharing the stage with one of our all time favorite bands every night this summer.”
“Third Eye Blind was the soundtrack to so many summer adventures during high school!” adds Nate Esquite (A R I Z O N A). “My friends and I would drive up and down the NJ Parkway blasting “Semi-Charmed Life” out the windows and dreaming about one day playing PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel as we passed. To be a part of this tour is a dream come true in so many ways – being able to sing our hearts out to 3EB every night and playing so many incredible venues along the way.”

WORLD’S FIRST PLAYABLE GOLD RECORD: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF “JUMPER”
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of “Jumper,” Third Eye Blind is releasing the world’s first playable .999 silver-coated and .997 karat gold-coated records, in collaboration with Precious Sound. Manufactured in Germany, each 5”, 7 ounce record is playable at 33 ⅓ RPMs on any manual record player, and pressed with 1,250 tons, using groundbreaking technology. The B-side is an engraving celebrating the cover art of the self-titled album.
“25 years in, ‘Jumper’ makes a message of the value of a common heart. I’m happy that this is the first message immortalized on precious metals,” says Stephan Jenkins. “The song has gone from dark to light. It started as a noir—where I am talking to somebody telling what I would have said to them had they not jumped off the Coronado bridge. Pretty dark stuff. Now when I sing it, it is a celebration of understanding and inclusivity and you can see how eager people are to express that feeling. I love it. I love the transition.”
AVAILABLE ON PURE GOLD, GOLD COATED & SILVER COATED 5” PRESSINGS
As always, a portion of the proceeds will benefit SeaTrees. Third Eye Blind has been on a mission to restore the kelp ecosystems of the entire California coastline and sequester carbon. Since 2017, Third Eye Blind has sought to mitigate the touring industry’s carbon impact and also banned plastic water bottles backstage, saving an estimated 17,000 bottles per tour.
“We have a beautiful, bright future,” with climate action in the center of it. “That’s what I want people to know,” says Jenkins on CBS Mornings.
Precious Sound has created the world’s first playable gold, silver, and platinum records. Founded by Mark Sutton and Ursina Beerli, two friends with a deep experience in precious metals and an adoration for music. The company is based in Zurich and New York, with a production partner in Munich.
