Back in September, the emo legends announced the dates of their highly anticipated ‘The Black Parade’ tour across the UK, Europe and North America next year, including a third date at Wembley.
The trek kicks off at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 30 and Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park on July 4 afterwards. They’ll then play three shows at Wembley in London between July 8 and July 11. Following their three-night London residency, the group will head to Italy to play Florence’s Visarno Arena (July 15), before making their way to Spain for a performance at Madrid’s Iberdrola Music venue (18).
Now, they’ve shared who’ll be supporting them in the UK and Europe – and it’s an epic line-up. Each show will feature a different support act, including the likes of Echo & The Bunnymen, Interpol, Joan Jett, and more.
Joining MCR at their Anfield Stadium date are Echo & The Bunnymen, while Gerard Way and co. will be supported by Idlewild in Glasgow. Their first Wembley date (July 8) will see support from Skunk Anansie, while their second date (10) will feature Joan Jett.
Their final Wembley date (11) will include Sunny Day Real Estate, while their Italy show (15) will see support from Interpol. MCR’s final gig of the run will feature Mogwai.

The band’s 2026 itinerary includes previously announced dates in South America, Southeast Asia and Mexico City, as well as three US festival appearances at Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple and Louder Than Life.
My Chemical Romance’s recent concerts have seen them play ‘The Black Parade’ in its entirety, along with rarities from that era and some hits. At a show in LA over the summer, MCR debuted an unreleased track titled ‘War Beneath The Rain’.
They also performed a surprise cover of The Smashing Pumpkins’ 1995 track ‘Bullet With Butterfly Wings’ in San Francisco. Later on the tour, MCR paid tribute to their late former bandmate Bob Bryar in his hometown of Chicago.
Meanwhile, there is ongoing speculation among fans that the group will be releasing new music in the near future. Despite these persistent rumours, MCR have yet to follow up on their fourth album ‘Danger Days’ (2010).
In 2022, the band shared their first new single in eight years, ‘The Foundations Of Decay’. Earlier this year, they released a 21st anniversary deluxe reissue of their classic second album, 2004’s ‘Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge’.
