My Chemical Romance recently performed their 2006 album The Black Parade in full at When We Were Young emo fest this past October, and are now taking the tribute on the road with a full stadium tour in 2025. They have a different guest for each date, and the announcement went out with some visuals and new lore because Gerard Way knows the people yearn for lore.
"It has been seventeen years since The Black Parade was sent to the MOAT. In that time, a great Dictator has risen to power, bringing about "THE CONCRETE AGE”; a glorious time of stability and abundance in the history of DRAAG. His Grand Immortal Dictator wishes to celebrate our rich and storied culture, fine foods, and musical entertainments by welcoming you to these great demonstrations of power and resolve. And lending voice and song for the first time in six thousand two hundred and forty six days, their work privilege ceremoniously reinstated, will be His Grand Immortal Dictator's National Band... The Black Parade.
Long Live Draag
Some fans expressed disappointment that this was a cash grab or why would the band return to an old album instead of putting out new material. Guitarist Frank Iero responded to this in an IG comment, saying:
