Additional My Chemical Romance 2026 Tour Dates
My Chemical Romance just wrapped up the North American leg of their wildly successful Long Live the Black Parade tour, where they played their 2006 album of the same name in full each night.
The band is headlining this year’s Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta. No tour dates are scheduled for the rest of 2025. They will begin a South American tour on Jan. 22 in Bogota, Colombia.
While no other U.S. dates are scheduled besides the three festival stops, there is still a good chance My Chemical Romance hit additional cities they didn’t reach during the first North American leg of their tour.
