After posting a cryptic teaser to social media on Monday November 11th, many fans speculated that the emo rock titans My Chemical Romance were teasing their long lost LP, The Paper Kingdom. However, instead it looks like the band’s cryptic teaser was a placeholder for a 2025 North American stadium tour, and one which looks to celebrate My Chemical Romance’s iconic album The Black Parade. This tour announcement comes off the heels of the band’s recent headlining performance at the Las Vegas held emo rock festival When We Were Young, where MCR performed The Black Parade front-to-back.
The band posted the following announcement video which shows off the dates and opening acts for their 2025 “Long Live”: The Black Parade North American Tour.
MCR’s 10 date stadium tour will feature a variety of opening acts with no repeat bands on any of the select dates. Modern rock outfits 100 Gecs, IDLES, and Wallows will be appearing on the tour in addition to old school acts Pixies, Alice Cooper, and Devo among others. It’s quite an interesting variety of groups MCR has chosen for each of their shows, and it goes to reflect the band’s wide range of musical influences from over the years.
Tickets for MCR’s go on sale Friday (Nov. 15) at 10 a.m. local time. Below are the dates and opening acts for each of the shows.
