Sound the bloody trumpets and cancel whatever beige plans you had next July — My Chemical Romance are storming Wembley for not one but two nights of pure, unfiltered emo catharsis. Friday 10th and Saturday 11th July 2026 will see The Black Parade rise again in all its theatrical, melodramatic, gut-wrenching glory.
Yes, you read that right. They’re doing the whole bloody thing, start to finish. It’s the 20th anniversary of The Black Parade — which is frankly rude, because that means we’ve all been emotionally unstable for two decades now.
What to expect
Picture it: 80,000 black-clad degenerates screaming “When I was a young boy…” at a man in a military jacket like it’s a national emergency. Tears will flow. Voices will break. Someone will inevitably pass out in the queue after necking a can of Monster on an empty stomach. It’s the closest thing we’ll get to church, except with more eyeliner and less moral judgement.
The setlist? Every track from The Black Parade plus whatever else Gerard babes fancies throwing at us. Prepare for Famous Last Words to finish you off emotionally, and for Mama to slap harder than a late-stage capitalist pay cut.
Ticket bloodbath incoming
Tickets go on sale Friday 15th August at 10 am. You’ll need:
- Three different devices open at once
- Your bank card ready
- The patience of a saint or the reflexes of a coke-fuelled cat
Also, forget “refreshed and ready” — you’ll be sat in your pyjamas, shaking, swearing at Ticketmaster like they personally wronged your family. Which, in fairness, they probably will.
Why you’re going (even if you pretend you’re over it)
Because you never really got over them. You think you did, but then Helena comes on and suddenly you’re 15 again, crying into a hair straightener. This isn’t just a gig — it’s a pilgrimage. An opportunity to stand in a crowd of equally deranged adults and scream about death, love, and eyeliner like your mortgage doesn’t exist.
