Some albums become myth. The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance’s 2006 concept record, is one. In 2026, the band plans to bring it back in a national stadium tour that concludes in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl with multiple dates.
The tour will span 17 dates across North America, Europe, and more, with special guests like Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Sleater-Kinney, and others. The Hollywood Bowl shows (October 21, 23, 24) signal that the city remains a symbolic endpoint for rock’s emotional pilgrimages.
In a post-“live music rebound” era, the announcement reads like a statement: L.A. isn’t just a stop on the circuit it’s a destination. Fans are already reassembling their tee shirts and face paint. For the city, the tour promises energy, turnout, and the inevitable local stories that only a finale here can spark.
