My Chemical Romance recently wrapped its Long Live: The Black Parade tour with a slew of rave reviews and its U.S. dates selling nearly half a million tickets for just 10 shows. The band’s already making plans to get back on the road in June of 2026 with The Black Parade tour.

The tour is scheduled to kick off on June 30, 2026, with two shows at Wembley Stadium in London. Phoenix will see the band on September 6, 2026, at Chase Field.

This upcoming round of shows, which includes some previously announced tours of South America and Southeast Asia, will celebrate the 20th anniversary of “The Black Parade,” their third studio release, a concept record about the journey of a dying teenager. It continues to be regarded as a groundbreaking emo and pop-punk album. Rolling Stone named it #361 in its updated list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."

Their live show also receives continuous accolades. Possibly fighting words for Swifties, Paste Magazine declared their last tour a better live experience than hers: “Move over Eras Tour: My Chemical Romance has the most thrilling stadium show.”

Phoenix's own Jimmy Eat World will open the show in Arizona. My Chemical Romance hand-picked the openers, and the rest of the U.S. dates also include a pretty stellar mix of acts, including Franz Ferdinand, Pierce The Veil, Modest Mouse, Iggy Pop, Sleater-Kinney, The Breeders, Babymetal and The Mars Volta.

To get tickets, the general on-sale starts at noon on September 26, 2025.
