My Chemical Romance Drops Two Surprise Gigs—Brace Yourself, Fans, Ticket Chaos Is Coming Like Mercury in Retrograde!

Added on August 15, 2025 inMusic News Cards

So, here we are—August 15, a day already sparkling with cosmic juju as the Sun ambles through Leo, the lion known for roaring big and bold. Perfect timing, huh? Because My Chemical Romance fans are gearing up for a gladiatorial showdown of sorts—the ticket sale for their legendary two-night Wembley Stadium extravaganza kicks off this morning at 10am. You better have that SEE Tickets, AXS, or Ticketmaster account locked and loaded, ’cause if the US tour’s lightning-speed sellouts tell us anything, these tickets won’t just sell—they’ll vanish like Mercury during retrograde. And speaking of cosmic chaos, how fitting that the star-crossed souls of emo rock now wrestle not just with their feelings, but the dreaded “fight” for limited London dates in 2026. Is destiny nudging MCR’s UK fans to channel their inner Leo courage or is it just another case of the stars messing with our plans? Only time—and your speedy clicks—will tell. LEARN MORE

My Chemical Romance fans are braced for a ‘fight’ as tickets for their two Wembley Stadium shows finally go on sale this morning (Friday August 15).

From 10am fans can sign up to buy tickets from SEE Tickets, AXS and Ticketmaster (just make sure you’ve created an account in advance).

Fans wanting to splash out can find hospitality tickets here.

The landmark gigs, announced earlier this week, will take place on Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11, 2026 as part of the ‘Long Live the Black Parade’ tour.

And if their US tour is anything to go by, tickets are set to sell like hotcakes.

The New Jersey emo rockers are nearing the end of their Black Parade US tour, which sold out in ‘minutes’ according to sources.

Support acts including the likes of Alice Cooper, The Pixies and Evanescence have drawn rave reviews, with the tour wrapping up at Piedmont Park, Atlanta on September 20.

Ahead of their sold-out MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey earlier this week, guitarist Frank Iero called their latest tour a ‘dream come true’ following the band’s six-year hiatus.

They reformed in 2019 with a tour set to follow in 2020, but it was postponed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their 2026 UK show announcement was met with excitement, but the news that the band would only be playing two dates – both in London – left a sour taste in some fans’ mouths.

Taking to Reddit, one wrote: “Why hype up a UK “tour” to only announce one date in London?? What about those of us who live in the north??

“It would be cheaper to get a flight to somewhere in the EU than travel to London, plus the entirety of the UK now has to fight for tickets to two shows. I really hope they add more dates but I’m not hopeful.”

Another wrote: “Fighting the UK and the rest of Europe! We will all be scrambling for the same hotels and tickets.”

Others speculated that more gigs were sure to follow, plus a likely set of festival appearances in 2026.
