My Chemical Romance Hints at Massive UK Return with 2026 Wembley Shows
Hey, so there’s some really exciting news buzzing around about My Chemical Romance, or MCR as their fans call them. You might have caught the recent hints that they’re gearing up for something big here in the UK. If you’re a fan or even just a casual listener, this is definitely worth paying attention to.
Right now, MCR is out on their 2025 North American stadium tour called “Long Live The Black Parade,” which started last month and sold out super quickly. This tour celebrates their iconic album The Black Parade , which is almost legendary by now. After they wrap up the North American leg, the band is scheduled to head to South America and Asia in 2026, with two massive concerts already planned for Mexico City. But what’s really caught everyone’s attention is a new video they posted recently, teasing a possible UK return.

The clip is kind of quirky — it’s styled like an old-school TV game show called “Quizzo,” where the host asks which country will win the grand prize of “one nuclear winter.” When the big button is pressed, the host announces “Congratulations, United Kingdom!” Fans immediately took this as a sign that MCR will be bringing their epic Black Parade show to the UK soon, which would be the band’s first UK visit in four years.
The excitement online has been through the roof. People are reminiscing about MCR’s last UK tour in 2022, when they played spots like Milton Keynes, Cornwall, Dublin, Warrington, Cardiff, and Glasgow. Back then, the band played The Black Parade in full, along with rarities and some of their biggest hits like “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” and “Teenagers.” Fans also remember how they dropped a surprise cover of The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” at one of their LA shows recently, and even debuted a new unreleased track called “War Beneath The Rain.”
What makes these upcoming shows extra special is the scale — MCR just announced two huge headline nights at Wembley Stadium for July 10 and 11, 2026. That’s massive! Tickets are going on sale very soon, and the buzz on social media is intense. The official Wembley account even shared a photo of the stadium lit up in red with MCR-themed imagery, and fans can’t stop losing it. The band’s core lineup, including Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero, and Ray Toro, will be performing, marking almost two decades since The Black Parade originally came out.
For many, MCR isn’t just a band; they’re a defining part of the emo and alternative rock scene. Their 2006 album The Black Parade has sold multi-platinum worldwide, with “Welcome To The Black Parade” still being their biggest hit. Despite the long gap since their last new album, the band’s reunion and ongoing tours have been met with huge enthusiasm and critical praise. Reviewers have praised their theatrical performances, highlighting how they bring the album’s dark, dramatic story to life on stage.
So, if you’ve been waiting for MCR to come back to the UK — this might be your moment. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or someone curious about what all the fuss is about, these Wembley shows are shaping up to be a huge event. Fingers crossed we get even more UK dates announced soon, but either way, the “Black Parade” is definitely coming home.
