Long Live The Black Parade
Long Live The Black Parade is a concert tour by the American rock band My Chemical Romance in celebration of their third studio album, The Black Parade (2006). The tour began on July 11, 2025, in Seattle, and is set to conclude on November 23, 2026, in Jakarta, Indonesia. For the tour, the band plays The Black Parade in its entirety, as well as multiple other songs on a separate B-stage set.
A theatrical-styled production, Long Live follows an overarching narrative centered around the fictional authoritarian country of Draag. It sees the return of the band's Black-Parade alter-ego from the Black Parade World Tour in 2007, who in the show are performing to appease Draag's leader, known as the Grand Immortal Dictator. Each show of the tour progresses the story, which is told through interactions between the band and multiple other characters, such as the Clerk (Charlie Saxton) and Marianne (Lucy Joy Altus). Multiple songs from The Black Parade have been given modifications for the tour, ranging from new sections and introductions, to extended outros.
Long Live has been met with positive reviews, with several journalists praising its production, the creation of a new story for The Black Parade, and the B-stage sets. The tour's political messaging, which is a parody of political authoritarianism, were also widely discussed; some viewed it as an analogy of real world politics. The tour has grossed over $130 million, with an attendance of over 800,000.
My Chemical Romance released their third studio album, The Black Parade, in 2006. It was supported by The Black Parade World Tour, which began on February 22, 2007, where the band would play the album in its entirety as the "Black Parade" alter-ego band. They played as the alter-ego until October 7, 2007, when they declared the Black Parade as dead and stopped performing as them. On October 19 and 20, 2024, My Chemical Romance headlined the When We Were Young music festival, where they performed The Black Parade in its entirety for the first time since 2007.
My Chemical Romance announced Long Live The Black Parade on November 12, 2024. Initially, ten shows across North America were announced, spanning across 2025, with most of the shows taking place at Major League Baseball stadiums. Most dates on the tour have a unique opening act (e.g. Evanescence, 100 gecs). Due to high demand, the band had to schedule a second date in Los Angeles after tickets went on sale. In February 2025, it was announced that the band would be headlining that year's Shaky Knees Music Festival on September 20, 2025.
In May 2025, the band announced a show in Mexico City on February 13, 2026, officially advertised as "The Black Parade – Alive!". A second show in Mexico City taking place on February 14 was announced a few days later. In June, the band announced a series of dates throughout South America. Dates throughout Southeast Asia were announced in July. In August, the band announced two shows at Wembley Stadium in London for July 10 and July 11, 2026. On September 22, 2025, the band announced a second leg throughout the United States alongside multiple other dates in the United Kingdom and Europe, specifically Spain and Italy. All of the new dates went under the title "The Black Parade 2026".
In November 2025, two final dates for the tour at the Hollywood Bowl on October 30 and 31, 2026, advertised as "Devil's Night" in reference to them taking place on Halloween weekend. In combination with the final three dates of the previously announced leg taking place at the Hollywood Bowl, the concerts make My Chemical Romance the first band to perform at the venue five times and were also intended to be the final dates of the tour. In December, the band announced that the Southeast Asia leg of the tour would be delayed until November 2026, making the last scheduled date November 23, 2026 in Jakarta as part of the Hammersonic Festival. They also delayed the first show of the Southern American leg in Colombia from January 22 to February 10.
To promote the tour, My Chemical Romance released a series of teasers and trailers with cryptic meanings, sparking fan debate and speculation. On the day before the initial announcement of the tour in November, the band posted a teaser image on their Instagram page, depicting the skyline of a white city with pieces of confetti floating around, with the letters KCR arranged in a new logo. The post had the caption "If you could be anything, what would you be?". Several fans speculated that the announcement was for The Paper Kingdom, the band's planned fifth studio album that was scrapped before their initial break up in 2013.
