My Chemical Romance Announces 2025 Stadium Tour: Relive “The Black Parade” with Special Guests in 10 Iconic Venues!

 For My Chemical Romance fans, the announcement of a 2025 stadium tour performing The Black Parade in its entirety is like a dream come true. After an electrifying performance at the When We Were Young festival, the band is gearing up to bring the beloved 2006 album back to life for a new generation of fans—and for loyal followers who've been waiting to hear it live again. The tour spans 10 cities, kicks off on July 11 in Seattle, and features a stellar lineup of opening acts, including Death Cab for Cutie, Devo, and Alice Cooper.

The Return of The Black Parade: A Legendary Album Lives On The Black Parade, a concept album that brought a theatrical depth and emotional intensity to the emo rock scene, became an instant classic upon its release in 2006. Now, seventeen years later, My Chemical Romance is reigniting the magic by playing the album from start to finish across a series of stadiums. The album’s themes of love, loss, and perseverance have only become more meaningful with time, and fans can now relive these powerful moments with the full force of a stadium experience.

The Story Continues: “The Concrete Age” and a Grand Dictator In true My Chemical Romance style, the announcement was as theatrical as the album itself. The band posted an intriguing message on social media, speaking of a “Grand Immortal Dictator” and a fictional era known as The Concrete Age. Describing the tour as a “great demonstration of power and resolve,” My Chemical Romance hints that the performances will be as much about storytelling and world-building as they are about the music.

Tour Highlights: Special Guests Across Iconic Venues Each stop on the tour promises to be unforgettable, with a unique lineup of opening acts tailored to each city. This approach ensures a diverse mix of music styles that will appeal to a wide audience:

• Seattle (July 11, T-Mobile Park): Violent Femmes will set the stage with their energetic punk-folk sound, creating an electric kickoff to the tour.

• San Francisco (July 19, Oracle Park): 100 Gecs, known for their hyper-pop and experimental style, will offer a fresh take on alt-rock energy.

• Los Angeles (July 26, Dodger Stadium): Wallows, known for their nostalgic, indie-pop vibe, will join the lineup, adding a West Coast flavor to the night.

• Arlington, Texas (Aug. 2, Globe Life Field): Garbage, with their edgy and empowering hits, will perfectly complement My Chemical Romance’s themes of resilience.

• East Rutherford, NJ (Aug. 9, MetLife Stadium): Death Cab for Cutie and Thursday will bring both nostalgia and emotion to the stage, making this a can’t-miss performance.

Each city is promised a unique experience as the band shares its stage with artists that represent the breadth of alternative music, from icons like Alice Cooper in Philadelphia to punk mainstays IDLES in Boston.

What Fans Can Expect Beyond the music, My Chemical Romance’s theatrical storytelling will make this tour one for the ages. Fans can expect grand visuals, intense performances, and perhaps a few surprises woven into the experience. The band’s return tour in 2022 was postponed by the pandemic but quickly sold out upon rescheduling, proving that the hunger for MCR’s unique brand of emotional rock is as strong as ever. Now, with a larger-than-life album performance, this tour is set to bring fans together to experience the raw power and nostalgia of The Black Parade once more.
