My Chemical Romance Ignites Oracle Park with Theatrical Fire and Political Drama
Hey everyone, let’s talk about My Chemical Romance —yes, they're back and as unapologetically bold as ever. This weekend, they're coming to San Francisco’s Oracle Park as part of their “ Long Live The Black Parade ” tour, and you better believe it’s more than just a nostalgic throwback to emo anthems. It's theatrical, it's political, and it's making headlines for all the right—and controversial—reasons.
The tour launched in Seattle just days ago, and let me tell you, it was anything but ordinary. Gerard Way, the band's enigmatic frontman, took fans on a dramatic ride that shocked some and thrilled others. At one point in the show, Gerard paused everything for what he called a “practice of democracy.” Yeah, you heard that right. Fans were handed signs reading “yea” or “nay,” and then invited to vote on four masked “candidates” standing on stage. What happened next? A dark, almost cinematic twist—those figures were “executed” in a puff of smoke by figures in militant gear. A theatrical stunt? Sure. Political commentary? Absolutely. And fans have opinions .

While some praised the boldness—pointing out that MCR has always had roots in social commentary (remember, Gerard was inspired to start the band after witnessing 9/11?)—others weren’t so impressed. A few casual fans labeled it “demonic” and “twisted,” and some even threatened to sell their tickets. But longtime fans? They rolled their eyes and fired back with tweets like, “Have you not listened to Danger Days?” and “This is classic MCR—lore, commentary, theatrics. Wake up.”
But here’s the real kicker: beyond the drama, the music still absolutely slaps. The Seattle show featured The Black Parade
And now, San Francisco’s next. Oracle Park will host them this Saturday, July 19th, and yes— you can still get tickets . Prices start at around $100 via Ticketmaster, with some VIP options still available. Indie-pop duo 100 Gecs will be opening, so expect an eclectic night of sound and story.
Whether you're a die-hard or just nostalgic for your high school emo phase, this tour is a cultural moment. MCR isn't just reviving old hits—they're holding up a mirror to society, all wrapped in black eyeliner and guitar solos. If that’s not peak My Chemical Romance, I don’t know what is.
