'I saw My Chemical Romance on tour - you need to know this before Wembley shows'
My Chemical Romance is currently taking their Long Live The Black Parade tou r around North America. While that leg is due to wrap up in September, they will be back on the road again in 2026 for two dates in Mexico and two sold-out shows at London's Wembley Stadium in July.
The Wembley dates went on sale last week and sold out within minutes, as fans clamoured to get tickets to see the band perform their concept album, The Black Parade, in its entirety for the first time since 2007. The shows are set to be mammoth events for fans of the band, and as such, those who have already seen the tour in the US are sharing their advice online.
A woman named Kay went to see My Chemical Romance when they played in Los Angeles in July, and has said there are a few things she didn't consider before she went that she wishes she'd known sooner.
She shared a video on TikTok to help others attending the remaining US dates, as well as the Mexico City and London dates next year, including offering a big tip on how best to travel to the concerts.
1. Merchandise
With thousands of fans attending every show, merchandise queues have been unsurprisingly long - and they're expected to be lengthy at Wembley, too. For each of the shows in the US, the band has been selling city-specific t-shirts, and while it's not confirmed if these will be available in London, Kay said queues for these items have been even longer.
She said: "If you're in LA and you're getting the LA night one shirt or the LA night two shirt, if you're in Arlington, Chicago, wherever. If you're getting one of the shirts specific to your city, the lines are longer. They just are. Just know that you are going to want to get there early."
2. Travel
Kay's biggest tip involved how to actually get to the venue on the day. While many of those attending the London shows will opt to use the underground system to get to Wembley Stadium, Kay had one key piece of advice for anyone brave enough to attempt to drive in: Ride share.
Instead of you and your friends all driving separately to the concert, try to fill up one car with people to reduce congestion. This could help you get to the concert faster, and it will certainly save you money on petrol.
She added: "Take a ride share. Trust me on this, I don't care if you're a local. The reason I say that is that parking was a nightmare. Which means not only did it take you guys in cars longer to get to the front of the line, it also took you longer to get into the venue. So you had to wait in two lines before you ever even got in."
3. Venue rules
Kay insisted it's vital you check the rules of the venue you're going to before you visit, as different locations will let you take in different items.
At Wembley Stadium, you generally cannot bring a bag larger than A4 into the venue with you, and you also cannot bring more than one bag. Wembley also has a ban on bringing fireworks, air horns, flares, cans, frisbees, spray paint, selfie sticks, and any food and drink into the venue. You can find the full list of prohibited items on the Wembley Stadium website.
You should familiarise yourself with these rules, as well as any rules laid out by the event organisers closer to the time, before heading to the concert. Ignoring these rules could mean you don't get admitted into the venue.
Wrapping up her video, Kay said: "It was an amazing show, I had a fantastic time. These are just tips that make it a little bit better. Have the best time ever, you're going to love it! Every part of it's amazing."
My Chemical Romance will bring their Long Live The Black Parade tour to London's Wembley Stadium on July 10th and July 11th 2026.

Justin Bieber impersonator 'banned from Vegas nightclub' after tricking DJ into performing
A DJ in Las Vegas was tricked into letting a Justin Bieber impersonator perform Sorry live after being duped into thinking he was the Canadian hitmaker A Justin Bieber impersonator has been banned from a Las Vegas hotel after successfully convincing an entire nightclub that he was the Canadian pop star. The incident took place on Saturday, August 16, at XS Nightclub, where 29-year-old Frenchman Dylan Desclos posed as Bieber. Reports state that Desclos not only gained access to VIP areas but also ran up a $10,000 bar bill before joining DJ Gryffin on stage for a surprise performance. At the time, many believed they were witnessing Bieber's return to live music following the release of his seventh studio album Swag. The lead single Daisies has been a Top 10 hit in the UK, which added credibility to the idea that the star was making a promotional appearance. DJ Gryffin, whose real name is Daniel Griffith, later shared his perspective of the incident on TikTok. The 37-year-old admitted that the dark setting and loud music made it difficult to realise the person who approached him was not actually Bieber. Gryffin wrote: "So his 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry'… little did I know I was about to be sorry." The clip, which has since gone viral, shows the DJ smiling after the performance and telling the crowd: "That was insane. That was actually insane." Shortly afterwards, a friend informed him that the man he had invited on stage was not Justin Bieber. Gryffin appeared visibly shocked, responding: "There's no way." In a follow-up, the DJ admitted he briefly questioned the man's appearance, saying: "I literally thought like, 'damn, he's put on a lot of weight since the album dropped!'" The man who went up on stage was later identified as Dylan Desclos, a French national who has gained attention online for his repeated impersonations of Bieber. He is known to some as Bustin Jieber, and has staged mock tours, shared viral clips from public transport, and once even met Hailey Bieber, who admitted she was unsettled by his resemblance to her husband. After his Las Vegas stunt XS Nightclub confirmed that Desclos had been banned from the venue. Social media users have been debating over whether his actions constituted identity theft or if the incident was simply an elaborate prank. One viewer wrote: "It's alarming how easily he was able to prank everyone. The fact that a random guy made it to the stage is impressive. " Meanwhile, another protested: "I'm so lost on this is this not illegal?? I'm pretty sure this is a form of like fraud or identity theft??" The incident comes after the real Justin Bieber sparked concern from fans when he posted a series of near-nude photos of himself in see-through Calvin Klein boxers after a dip in a lake. Some people questioned his online behaviour, with one commenting: "Hailey come get your husband," while another wrote: "What is he doing? He is a married father acting like a teenager on a camping trip with his high school friends."

I moved from a ‘rough' council estate to a mansion but my neighbour was vile to me for being too common
Plus, how the entrepreneur went from being a single mother living in a council house to raking in a whopping £1.8million a year CRUEL COMMENTS I moved from a 'rough' council estate to a mansion but my neighbour was vile to me for being too common Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who previously lived on a rough council estate and moved to a 'posh area' has said her 'vile' neighbour was rude to her for being too common. Terri-Ann Nunns, 41, from Doncaster, who previously starred on Channel 5's Rich House, Poor House as a self-made millionaire, said she was 'happier' on the council estate. 3 Self-made millionaire Terri-Ann Nunns opened up about moving from a council estate to a mansion - and how her posh neighbour was vile to her Credit: Tiktok/terriann_nunns 3 Terri Ann claims her neighbour's actions forced her to move house Credit: Instagram/TerriAnn_Nunns After creating a successful diet plan and having a budget of £1,200 a week with her husband Michael, and their three kids, Terri-Ann moved into her 'dream' mansion. However, things were not all rosy as the person living next to her made her life a living hell. The six-bedroom mansion had come with a cinema room and a swanky bar, but the dream ended when she was forced to sell the property and move out. In a TikTok video on her @terriann_nunns account, she said: 'We bought this house, and then I had offices built in the back garden, it was just amazing. 'But then I had a new neighbor and he were a doctor and he weren't very nice. 'I think personally he could not stand the fact, like, I'm just me. I'm not posh, I'm just me. 'I'll never change, I've always been from a council estate, always been rough and ready, professional, but can be rough and ready as well. And he just couldn't stand us.' Terri-Ann claims tensions rose when he started moaning about her staff parking on the street. She added: 'I had a massive drive for everybody to park on, every staff member, but because they're coming at different times, one of them would get blocked in. 'So they just thought, 'we'll park on street.' So one of my staff argued with him. Anne and Mick Ross look around the Nunn's six-bed house on Rich House Poor House 'He nudged her, it was vile. 'Honestly, I just think he just couldn't stand the fact that we weren't posh. We were just, like, normal.' Terri-Ann said she suspects her neighbour ended up phoning the council to say she was running a commercial business out of her home. She continued: 'I don't know, he just hated us. 'And then when the council got involved, basically the reason I had to move out the house because they said I couldn't run my business from there. 'So I'd spent £40,000 on this office being built in the back garden, and the council turned around and said you're using your property as a commercial property which we weren't. 'We had the big house and the thing at the back garden. Anyway, I said I'm not staying here. 'I'm not staying here and not being able to run my business. It's just not worth it, what we've invested. 'So we sold the house, made money from it, sold the house and bought the one that's on Rich House, Poor House.' 3 The Nunns outside their six-bedroom mansion on Rich House, Poor House Credit: Emporium Productions Ltd SNOBBY COMMENTS Terri-Ann insists she's proud of her success, but claims often people who have had a privileged upbringing 'look down' on those who haven't had that. Many people were quick to praise the entrepreneur on her success in the comments. One said: 'Girl I feel you, I miss the estate so bad! Way to snooty round here.' Another added: 'Love to see my own kind of people getting along in life good on you. sounds like the neighbour was very bitter and jealous of you.' BUSINESS SUCCESS Terri-Ann made her fortune through her Terri-Ann New You Plan, and regularly shares her top tricks for her own drastic body transformation. She went from being a single mother living in a council house to raking in a whopping £1.8million a year. On her Rich House, Poor House episode, her family swapped their six-bedroom home with struggling Anne and Mick Ross, who lived off £200 a week. During the episode, Terri-Ann admitted she may have been happier in her life before her success, saying: 'We're probably less happy now. 'I have to work loads of hours, and neglect Michael (her husband) a little bit, and obviously it's clear I neglect my kids because they told me all this week.'

Rare sale sees autumn's most popular Ugg boot reduced by 20%
Now is the time to get your Ugg boots before they sell out Every autumn, there's one shoe brand that dominates, and this year it's UGG's boots. In particular, the brand's Classic Ultra Minis are set for sell-out success. The ankle-skimming boot has become one of the brand's most-wanted style, loved by fashion experts and shoppers alike for its low profile that works with literally everything in your wardrobe. And the best part is this boot has just been given a rare 20% off saving, making them £115.99 for a limited time. The cropped height makes them look great with wide-leg jeans and oversized knits as well paired with linen trousers and shorts for the transitional weather, They've been spotted on everyone from Kendall Jenner to Kaia Gerber, and with the 'model-off-duty' aesthetic showing no signs of slowing down for autumn 2025, it's no surprise they're the pair shoppers keep buying again and again. Made from UGG's signature plush suede with a cosy sheepskin lining, the Ultra Mini is practical and stylish. The lightweight sole makes them easy for all-day wear, while the cushioned insole gives that cloud-soft comfort UGG has always been known for. They're treated with a water-repellent finish, too -meaning autumn showers don't have to spell disaster- and the pull tabs at the back make slipping them on and off simple. The hype is real. Last autumn, sizes vanished before October was even over. TikTok styling hacks only fuelled the demand, with videos racking up millions of views showing off new ways to wear them. This year's discount has only made the rush worse, so if you're tempted, we'd reccomend not overthinking it. Now seems to be the best time to score some good deals on new-season shoes. New Look, for example, has dropped the perfect alternative to Prada's Logo Suede Trainers with the Tan Suede Lace Up Trainers. Priced at £39.99, the shoes have a similar look and design to the luxury pair, but are perfect for getting the designer look without breaking the bank. Brown suede trainers are one of the most effortless ways to bring a luxurious feel to even the most casual outfits, and they're great for adding a bit of chicness to a simple jeans and T-shirt. Despite their ultra-affordable price tag, the New Look trainers are actually made from real suede, which makes them soft, durable and gives them a more high end look.
