My Chemical Romance have announced a massive Mexico concert for 2026 – see all the ticketing details below.
The iconic emo band took to social media last night (May 19) to announce a singular ‘The Black Parade – Alive!’ concert in Mexico City, set to take place on February 13. The concert will see them perform at the Estadio GNP Seguros, which holds an estimate of 65,000 people.
Supporting acts for the Mexico show have yet to be announced. Pre-sale tickets go on sale on Thursday (May 22) at 2pm local time, with general tickets going live on Saturday (May 24) at 2pm as well – you can get tickets here.
It is currently their only performance planned for 2026.
The band also shared a video referencing their legendary final ‘Black Parade’ show in 2007 in Mexico City, that was later released as their now-classic live album and DVD ‘The Black Parade is Dead!’. For those 2007 shows, My Chemical Romance performed under their alter-ego’s name, The Black Parade.
In their new post announcing the 2026 show, a narrator reads: “On the seventh day of the tenth month of 2007, in a place called the Palace of Sport, it was widely reported that the band known as The Black Parade never returned from their concert in Mexico City, having perished in flames in what was to be their final performance. However, it is now known to the people of Draag and the world that The Black Parade is very much alive.
“And so on suggestion of his Grand Immortal Dictator, the Cabinet of Operatic Retaliations has seen it just to send The Black Parade back to the soil of their untimely expiration and concludes their business with the people of Mexico City.”
“Long live Draag, long live the Black Parade.”
Last November, Gerard Way and co announced plans to hit the road again as part of a “Long Live The Black Parade” US tour. The dates come in celebration of their 2006 album ‘The Black Parade’, and soon made headlines when they completely sold out within hours of going on sale.
The band’s diverse array of support acts for their 2025 US stadium tour then got people talking and drew a polarised reaction online. Each show will feature a different hand-selected artist as opening support – Violent Femmes, 100 Gecs, Wallows, Garbage, Death Cab for Cutie and Thursday, Alice Cooper, Pixies, Devo, IDLES and Evanescence.
The tour will kick off in July and conclude in September, and will include shows in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, Boston and more.
Prior to the tour’s kickoff, My Chemical Romance are due to release a deluxe edition of their classic ‘Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge’ album to celebrate its 21st anniversary. It is set for release on June 6 – 21 years to the day since it was first shared. Pre-order it here.
Alongside the original tracklisting, the collection will also feature four bonus tracks. These were all recorded back in 2005 for the BBC, and include previously unreleased live versions of ‘I’m Not Okay (I Promise)’, ‘Helena’, and ‘The Ghost Of You’.
At the end of 2024, the band shared a tribute to their former bandmate Bob Bryar, who was found dead in his home at age 44. “It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Bob Bryar, our former bandmate and an important part of the history of My Chemical Romance,” they wrote. “We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family at this time. May he rest in peace.”
Bryar was My Chemical Romance’s longest-tenured drummer, performing with the band from 2004 until his departure in 2010.
The band’s most recent material was 2022’s ‘The Foundations of Decay’ – a surprise single that marked their first new release in eight years, with their last full-length album being 2010’s ‘Danger Days’.
