Some small annoucements:

- MCR will be on the cover of this week's Kerrang!. This is the question/answer session that Kerrang! solicited questions for a little while ago.

- MCR will play An Evening With... sponsored by XFM London 104.9 on Thursday, February 10th.

My Chemical Romance are to play one of Xfm's special Evening With sessions on Thursday, February 10 in front of an invited audience of fans. You can win tickets here!

Speaking to Xfm's Sunta Templeton ahead of the announcement lead singer Gerard Way said he is looking forward to the intimate gig:

"Usually when you have to do those kinds of sessions or things like it you don't get to have your fans there. It's actually going to be a really unique experience for us because usually sessions are just you and a camera crew and they can be really dull, so I'm excited to have our fans there for in that kind of environment."

The band are on tour in the UK this month promoting their new album 'Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys'. But Gerard told us they won't be the same sort of shows they put on for concept album 'The Black Parade':

"I wouldn't expect any theatrics but I would expect to see just us playing a lot of songs and really focussed on the band. We are bringing lights and stuff but right now things are just getting started so I definitely wouldn't expect things like zepplins and backdrops and things like that - I think we are just going to play and have fun"

He also told us that fans can expect a few European festivals this summer - but does that mean they will be in the UK?

"I don't know yet, I actually genuinely don't know, I would hope that it does and I think it would probably make sense as we'd be over there doing anyway and obviously we'd really appreciate and look forward to doing that"

There is an audio interview which is available to those in the UK. However, if you put in a UK postcode it will let you listen to it.

- A new show has been added to the US tour. April 16th, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pre-sale for this show will be tomorrow 10 AM PST (12 PM CST). Further details at the link.

- Concert posts resume on the 12th with London, UK. Our header has been updated to reflect upcoming dates and our concert post has been updated to include the Japan shows.

- Edit Part 1: MCR will takeover Kerrang! Radio all next week playing songs and answering questions. Tune in Monday-Friday 7pm-8pm. You can submit questions at the link.
