Watch My Chemical Romance DJ at Wembley fan party – with “strange” closing song from Gerard Way
My Chemical Romance's frontman and bassist assumed their 'Danger Days' album personas to DJ a fan celebration at BOXPARK Wembley ahead of the deluxe reissue of that 2010 record. The event provided a direct engagement with supporters whilst the reunited band maintained momentum through an active touring period.
Gerard Way drew social media attention by concluding his set with 'When The Toad Came Home' from The Wind In The Willows—a cheerful composition starkly mismatched with the band's typical darker aesthetic. This deliberately jarring choice became viral precisely because of its absurdity, creating a comically surreal finale to the night while the band simultaneously operates a three-date residency at Wembley Stadium.
