My Chemical Romance brings The Black Parade Tour to San Diego

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- The Black Parade will march into 2026 with a stop in San Diego's Petco Park.

My Chemical Romance just announced new dates for their "The Black Parade" tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the band's third studio album.

Special guests who will join My Chemical Romance on the North American leg of their tour include Franz Ferdinand, Pierce The Veil, Jimmy Eat World and others. It follows the end of what was marketed as their "Long Live: The Black Parade" tour.

Longtime fans can expect a "full-on theatrical production," as described by the entertainment magazine Variety, centered on the rule of a character called His Grand Immortal Dictator who keeps watch over the band throughout the show.
