New Jersey based rockstars, My Chemical Romance, are kicking off their 2026 tour dates with a bang. The emo legends are currently embarking on the Latin American leg of their highly anticipated word tour.
The stage show is a rock operatic masterpiece, complete with live executions, dramatic acting performances and unexpected, falsified stabbings. It is a whirlwind of an adventure for all attendees, fans or not. The group plays the entirety of their notorious album, ‘The Black Parade’, from front to back before taking the B-Stage with a variety of deep-cut songs, littered from different albums and eras. These second stage setlist often see fan favourites, such as, ‘Helena’, ‘Planetary (Go)’ and ‘I’m Not Okay (I Promise).’ All resulting in a lively crowd and stellar performances from the rockstars themselves.
Something truly unexpected occurred at the Buenos Aires, Argentina show that took place on February 1. The emo legends played the phenomenal track, ‘To The End’ from their 2004 album, ‘Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge’. Finally, this track saw the light of day as it was performed for the first time in 20 years. Onlookers were in shock hearing that initial guitar riff, taking in the blissful song with teary eyes and waving arms.
The tracks last appearance was at, Sun God Festival all the way back in 2006 before being lost in the void of the bands unplayed songs. Fans are relieved to say the least that, ‘To The End’ is having a well-deserved renaissance.
The bands bass guitarist, Frank Iero claims to hand pick the beloved b-stage setlist himself, resulting in a handful of crowd-pleasers sneaking their way onto the differing set-lists. Evidently, he wanted to treat the fans in Argentina to a once in a lifetime show.
Big fans of cryptic imagery, the band recently shared an eerie video to their Instagram page, a heart monitor like pattern flashed on screen, reading the word ‘Phantom.’ Countless fans are speculating that at long last, My Chemical Romance’s fifth album is on the horizon, whilst others are shutting these claims down immediately. With these guys, it is hard to know whether they are just having a wondrous time teasing fans or if they are secretly plotting something truly terrifying. We may never know.
It is hard to keep track with every single secret code littered throughout these performances; fans have started to decipher the writing on the wall in the background of sets. It is a great attempt at attempting to reveal any information that indicates a new musical project from the boys. All these new advancements in set-lists and My Chemical Romance lore, have us unbelievably excited for the UK leg of shows. The summer dates are as follows:
– June 30, Liverpool, Anfield Stadium
-July 4, Glasgow, Bellahouston Park
-July 8, London, Wembley Stadium
-July 10, London, Wembley Stadium
-July 11, London, Wembley Stadium
We simply cannot wait to see what the group has up their sleeves, whatever it may be it’s guaranteed to be nothing short of spectacular.
