My Chemical Romance are an American rock band formed in New Jersey in the early 2000s, best known for their 2006 concept album "The Black Parade" and its blend of emo, punk and theatrical rock. The band split in 2013 but reformed in 2019, and their music has remained popular with a new generation of fans in the years since.
The current run of shows is a continuation of a tour that started in 2025, taking the band across large US venues and major rock festivals through the autumn. It features a mix of arena and stadium dates, festival headline slots, and a multi-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles timed around Halloween, a date with particular resonance given the band's gothic, theatrical image.
Interest in the tour reflects a broader resurgence of emo and punk-rock music in recent years, with tickets for the shows sold through mainstream platforms such as Ticketmaster as well as resale sites, at prices that vary widely depending on the venue and date.
