My Chemical Romance ‘Black Parade’ tour to make stop at MetLife Stadium
Nearly two decades ago, My Chemical Romance released their career-defining rock opera, “The Black Parade,” cementing their shift from mainstays of the emo scene to mainstream recognition and becoming one of the most inventive bands of the 21st century.
In 2025, fans will get to experience the 2006 album once again as the band embarks on a 10-date North American stadium tour, where members will perform “The Black Parade” in full, on the heels of their headlining performance last month at Las Vegas' When We Were Young Festival.
The tour, announced Tuesday, kicks off July 11 in Seattle and includes a stop at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Aug. 9.
Each date will feature a different opener. New Jersey’s performance will feature the bands Death Cab for Cutie and Thursday – a band formed in New Brunswick in 1997.
My Chemical Romance formed in New Jersey in 2001 soon after the Sept. 11 attacks. The band released four studio albums across its career, first breaking through with 2004's “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.” It announced its breakup in 2013; a year later, the band released a greatest hits collection titled “May Death Never Stop You.” In 2019, members announced a reunion, later revealing they had privately reunited two years earlier.
A reunion tour was scheduled for 2020, rescheduled for the pandemic, and postponed until 2022. That year, the band released its first new song since 2014: “The Foundations of Decay.”
Tickets will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
