Anyone who’s spent time in the My Chemical Romance fan community knows the question that keeps coming up: when is the band coming back to Europe?

Will My Chemical Romance tour Europe in 2026?

The short answer is: partly yes, but with a big caveat. My Chemical Romance have confirmed a single UK date at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 30, 2026, with idobi reporting that Echo & The Bunnymen will serve as support. However, as of early 2025, no mainland European dates — no Germany, no France, no Spain — have been announced, and the tour appeared initially limited to North America and Asia.

Will My Chemical Romance come to the UK?

  • Yes — the band will play Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 30, 2026 (idobi)
  • Echo & The Bunnymen are confirmed as support for the Liverpool show (idobi)
  • No additional UK dates have been announced

The Anfield booking is a significant signal: My Chemical Romance chose one of the UK’s most iconic stadiums for their only European date so far. If the tour extends to mainland Europe, it will likely follow the same tier-1 venue pattern.

Are My Chemical Romance coming to Ireland?

  • No Ireland dates have been announced for 2026
  • The band’s last Ireland show was May 25, 2022 at Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin (Kerrang)
  • Ticketmaster Ireland’s archived listing for the 2022 show noted: “My Chemical Romance announced today that they will return to Ireland to play the Royal Hospital Kilmainham” — a return that hasn’t been repeated on this tour

The pattern: My Chemical Romance have not included Ireland on any leg of the Long Live The Black Parade tour. For Irish fans, hoping for a 2026 date means waiting for a potential second leg or a 2027 extension.

The upshot

UK fans get one massive stadium show at Anfield. Irish fans and mainland Europe get nothing so far. The Anfield date could act as a hinge — if the band adds more European shows, they’ll likely come in a later leg of the tour.

My Chemical Romance have only locked in one European date, leaving UK fans with a single show and Irish and mainland European fans waiting for further announcements.

Will MCR do a 2027 tour?

No 2027 dates have been officially announced, and the current tour schedule concludes on November 23, 2026 in Jakarta, Indonesia (Wikipedia). But the question won’t go away, partly because My Chemical Romance’s previous tours have sometimes stretched across multiple years.

  • Current tour ends November 23, 2026 — making a 2027 tour possible but entirely unconfirmed
  • The band has not hinted at any 2027 plans on their official website
  • Speculation exists based on past tour patterns, but no credible source has reported a 2027 leg

The implication: fans should treat 2027 as a hope, not a plan. If MCR extends the tour, an announcement would likely come after the 2026 run ends.

What are the confirmed My Chemical Romance tour dates for 2026?

The 2026 schedule spans South America, Asia, North American festivals, a UK stadium show, and more US dates. Here’s what’s locked in.

Date Venue City
January 25, 2026 Estadio Nacional Lima, Peru (Rock Sound)
January 28-29, 2026 Estadio Bicentenario Santiago, Chile (Rock Sound)
February 1, 2026 Estadio Huracán Buenos Aires, Argentina (Rock Sound)
February 5-6, 2026 Allianz Parque São Paulo, Brazil (Rock Sound)
February 13-14, 2026 Estadio GNP Seguros Mexico City, Mexico (Rock Sound)
April 18, 2026 Paradise City Culture Park Incheon, South Korea (Rock Sound)
April 22, 2026 Impact Challenger Hall Bangkok, Thailand (Rock Sound)
May 10, 2026 Welcome to Rockville festival Daytona Beach, FL (idobi)
May 14, 2026 Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival Columbus, OH (MCR official site)
June 30, 2026 Anfield Stadium Liverpool, UK (idobi)
October 2026 Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles, CA (MCR official site)
November 23, 2026 TBD venue Jakarta, Indonesia (Wikipedia)

12 dates across three continents, one pattern: the South American leg alone drew crowds of nearly 50,000 per show at venues like Lima’s Estadio Nacional (Kerrang), confirming that MCR’s global pull is massive.

Who is rumoured to tour in 2026?

  • Echo & The Bunnymen are confirmed as support for the Liverpool Anfield show (idobi)
  • Kerrang reported that Idlewild, Skunk Anansie, Joan Jett, Sunny Day Real Estate, Interpol, and Mogwai have been linked as support for various dates
  • No official confirmation for most support slots beyond the Anfield show

The trade-off: the lack of confirmed support acts for most legs means fans should buy tickets based on the headliner alone, not the warm-up.

The 2026 tour covers 12 dates across three continents, but Europe remains nearly absent with only one UK show confirmed.

What is the setlist for My Chemical Romance’s 2026 tour?

The defining feature of the Long Live The Black Parade tour is that the band performs their 2006 album The Black Parade in its entirety (Rock Sound). That means every track from the album — from “The End.” to “Famous Last Words” — is on the main set.

  • Full performance of The Black Parade album — the band’s third studio album and their most commercially successful (Rock Sound)
  • Setlists from the 2025 shows also included songs from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge and Danger Days (MCR official site)
  • Exact setlists may vary by show, especially for festival dates

What this means: if you’re going for the deep cuts, check the most recent setlist from the tour’s current leg. But the anchor — the full Black Parade run — is guaranteed.

What to watch

The band has been known to swap encore songs between nights. For the 2026 tour, the encore has typically pulled from their 2002-2010 catalog, but no two shows have had exactly the same closer.

The implication: attendees should expect the core album performance but anticipate variation in the encore.

How can I buy My Chemical Romance tour tickets?

Tickets for most dates are available through standard primary outlets. Here’s where to look.

What’s on in Dublin in 2026?

  • No My Chemical Romance show is currently scheduled for Dublin or anywhere in Ireland
  • The band’s last Irish performance was May 25, 2022 at Royal Hospital Kilmainham — a venue that holds roughly 15,000 (Kerrang)
  • Irish fans looking for a live MCR fix in 2026 may need to travel to Liverpool for the Anfield show

The catch: Irish fans face a two-hour flight or a ferry to Liverpool for the closest MCR show of 2026. Without a Dublin date, demand for the Anfield show from Irish buyers could be significant.

Timeline

  • — My Chemical Romance plays Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin (Kerrang)
  • — Long Live The Black Parade tour begins in Seattle, WA (Wikipedia)
  • — South American leg opens at Estadio Nacional, Lima (Rock Sound)
  • — Asian leg begins in Incheon, South Korea (Rock Sound)
  • — Anfield Stadium, Liverpool — only UK date (idobi)
  • — Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles (MCR official site)
  • — Tour concludes in Jakarta, Indonesia (Wikipedia)
  • — Possible extension or new tour leg (MCR official site)

The pattern: the timeline shows a clear gap – no European or Irish dates beyond the lone Liverpool show.

What’s confirmed vs. what’s unclear

Confirmed facts

  • North American dates (2025-2026 including Hollywood Bowl) (MCR official site)
  • South American dates (Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Mexico City) (Rock Sound)
  • Asian dates (Seoul, Bangkok, Jakarta) (Rock Sound)
  • UK date at Liverpool Anfield Stadium on June 30, 2026 (idobi)
  • Tour start and end dates (Wikipedia)
  • Full performance of The Black Parade album (Rock Sound)

What’s unclear

  • Any European, UK (beyond Anfield), or Ireland dates (Kerrang)
  • A 2027 tour continuation (MCR official site)
  • Specific supporting acts for most legs (idobi)
  • VIP package details for all regions (Ticketmaster)

The takeaway: the confirmed list is solid but leaves the biggest question – wider European presence – unanswered.

“We’re bringing The Black Parade to stadiums around the world in 2026 — this is the biggest production we’ve ever done.”

— My Chemical Romance (via official website)

“My Chemical Romance announced today that they will return to Ireland to play the Royal Hospital Kilmainham on 25 May 2022.”

Ticketmaster Ireland (archived listing, via Kerrang)

For Irish fans, the gap between that 2022 announcement and today says it all: My Chemical Romance haven’t booked a single Irish date on their biggest tour in a decade. The choice is to travel to Liverpool or wait for a leg that may never come.
