My Chemical Romance kicked off their five-night Hollywood Bowl residency on Wednesday night, October 21st, with a concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album The Black Parade. During the show, they slightly confused and delighted fans by bringing out dancers dressed like the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
The unexpected moment happened during their performance of The Black Parade cut “Teenagers,” when the dancers initially performed cheerleader choreography. In the biggest giveaway that the dancers likely weren’t the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, they armed themselves with semi-automatic rifles to protect My Chemical Romance from militarized forces, only to crawl off the stage after being shot.
Upcoming Tour Dates
The Hollywood Bowl run concludes My Chemical Romance’s expansive 2026 “Black Parade Tour” and wraps up with a pair of Halloween gigs, making them the first band to play five nights in a single run at the historic venue. The October 30th Devil’s Night concert will feature special guests The Used, while the Halloween performance will see Thrice serve as the opener.
Finally, My Chemical Romance will close out 2026 with a string of shows in Southeast Asia. Look for deals and get tickets to sold-out shows for all of their upcoming tour dates here (fans can save $20 on their first order of $200 or more with promo code COS20 at checkout).
20th Anniversary Reissue
To further celebrate The Black Parade anniversary, My Chemical Romance are releasing an expanded reissue featuring live recordings and fan-favorite B-sides tomorrow, October 23rd. Vinyl and CD editions are available for purchase on Amazon.
What’s more, frontman Gerard Way hinted at a new album during a recent show in San Antonio, saying, “You guys deserve another record, and we’d love to make it.” With their current tour and upcoming reissue, My Chemical Romance is showing no signs of slowing down, and fans can look forward to more exciting announcements from the band in the future.
