My Chemical Romance is carrying on.
For the fourth summer in five years, Gerard Way and co. are embarking on a tour at huge venues all over the U.S. and Canada.
This time around, they’ll be celebrating their seminal 2005 album ‘The Black Parade’ at ballparks, stadiums, festivals and bowls from August through October.
That includes a stop at Queens’ Citi Field on Sunday, Aug. 9 with special guest Franz Ferdinand.
They also have shows with big-name support acts like Pierce The Veil (Aug. 13 in Nashville), Modest Mouse (Aug. 18 in Washington, D.C.), Iggy Pop (Aug. 21 in Detroit), Jimmy Eat World (Sept. 6 in Phoenix) and The Mars Volta (Sept. 12 in San Antonio) among others.
If you’d like to see them live, tickets are available for all 2026 ‘Black Parade Tour’ concerts as of today.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one show was $44 including fees on SeatGeek.
Prices start at $143 including fees for the Citi Field gig that kicks off the North American leg of the international run.
Make sure to use promo code NYPOST10 for $10 off purchases over $250 at checkout (Editor’s Note: this discount is only valid for users’ first purchase on SeatGeek).
Past shows on the run have seen the emo icons deliver career-spanning sets made up of “The Black Parade” opulently performed in full followed by a grab-bag selection of fan favorites including “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na),” “Helena” and “I’m Not Okay (I Promise),” according to Set List FM.
“The theatrics of ‘The Black Parade Tour’s’ heady, high-concept first half both left me in awe and overwhelmed as evidenced by the loud, scary firework bombs,” The Post wrote in an emphatic review of the band’s August 2025 concert at MetLife Stadium.
“As a result, the stripped-down second half was much more my speed…either way, I am fully enlisted in the Black Parade. My only complaint? The show almost felt too short because it was so engaging and enjoyable.”

Gerard Way new music
In 2025, Way teamed up with Fender’s Michael Schulz (guitar), and The Interrupters‘ Kevin Bivona (keys/production), Jesse Bivona (drums), and Aimee Interrupter (backing vocals) to release the fist-pumping, punk single “I Wanna Know Your Name,” which was engineered by the late MCR collaborator Doug McKean, who passed away in 2022.
The group is known as The Mock Ups. No word yet on if more will come from the band.
More recently, Way joined forces with Frozen Soul for the eerie, heart-thumping metal banger “No Place of Warmth.”
