My Chemical Romance fans think they've teased a UK tour
The Teenagers rockers are currently on the North American leg of their Long Live The Black Parade stadium tour and have dates booked in South America and Asia next year.
And on Friday (08.08.25), the group suggested they could also be planning a return to the UK after sharing a new video featuring an old-school TV game show called Quizzo.
In the clip, the host said: 'Our two fine contestants will help us learn who will be the next lucky country to win the grand prize of one nuclear winter."
After a player pushes a big button, the host revealed: 'Congratulations, United Kingdom!'
The post caused fans in the comment to query whether it meant some new tour dates are to be announced soon.
This isn't the first time the group have sparked speculation with a cryptic post because last month, fans were convinced new music was on their way.
A picture depicting a stage light was captioned on the band's Instagram: "A dagger, a dagger, Please fetch me a dagger."
The art also features the clue "Time: 7:11:25:00".
Sadly for fans, new material didn't materialise and it seemed to be a reference to the start of their Long Live The Black Parade stadium tour in the US.
In 2022, MCR released their first new music in a almost decade, the single The Foundations of Decay.
In February, Frank Iero kept tight-lipped on rumours about a new My Chemical Romance album.
The guitarist and backup vocalist insisted that there was no news to tell with regards to new material.
Asked if there is anything to 'report' about a follow-up to 2010's Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys, he told NME: 'No, sorry.
'When that stuff – if that stuff were to happen, we will tell you. We will tell you in the way we want to tell you.'
The 43-year-old musician also stayed schtum about the Long Live The Black Parade Tour heading across the pond to the UK.
He said: 'It's been long-documented that we are huge fans of the UK – this is a home away from home for us.
'We've done things where the first place we played for a record release was the UK. It's always felt like a place that we love and that we hold very dear. But, to tell the future? It would be remiss to do that.'

James Norton says reaction to ‘gross' leaked photos from A Little Life was ‘gratifying'
James Norton says he felt 'gratified' by the backlash to the leaked photos that showed him during nude scenes in the stage adaptation of Hanya Yanagihara's controversial novel A Little Life. The British actor, 40, starred in the lead role as Jude, a character who suffers unrelenting abuse and misfortune both as a child and in adulthood. Critics were divided over the West End production – which ran for three hours and 40 minutes – with some praising Norton's 'dedicated performance' and others calling the play 'deeply unsettling' due to its prolonged depictions of trauma. Following the show's opening at the Richmond Theatre in London in March 2023, illicit photos of the actor during his nude scenes were published by the Daily Mail in print and online. Following an immediate and fierce backlash, the publication removed the images as it was pointed out that the theatre had placed stickers over phone cameras and shared materials telling audience members that filming and photography was prohibited. 'Violated is probably too strong [a word],' Norton told The Guardian when asked how he felt about the leaks. 'My strongest memory is that it was just a bit sad, a bit gross, this idea that it would be framed in a titillating way when the subject matter was so clearly vicious and upsetting. But I think the reaction, generally, was that it was misjudged, which was gratifying.' The Happy Valley actor is next starring in new BBC historical drama King & Conqueror, about the battle between Harold Godwinson (Norton) and William, Duke of Normandy (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) for the English crown. He is also starring in Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight's new Netflix drama House of Guinness, about the dynasty behind the Irish stout. In the same interview, he appeared to express some regret at speaking publicly about his split from former fiancée and fellow actor Imogen Poots during a panel at Glastonbury Festival in June. 'I lost the person,' he told the audience after Annie Mac asked him whether he had been through any big life changes, 'but I also lost the life I was about to lead, the kids we had named, all that kind of stuff.' 'If I'd known there was a journalist in the audience, I probably wouldn't have been so honest,' Norton said. Addressing speculation surrounding his current romantic life, which has linked him to stylist Flora Huddart and pop singer and actor Lily Allen, he remarked: 'Look, I'm a man in London going on occasional dates, meeting people, living my life, and it's kind of no one's business really.' King & Conqueror airs on BBC One and iPlayer from 24 August, while House of Guinness is scheduled for release on Netflix in September. Solve the daily Crossword

In a recent interview for Business Insider, the Total Recall actress described how she and Douglas had a row during an event held in Cannes, France at an undisclosed date. Stone alleged Douglas was "triggered" about something she said in "regard to a father-child relationship" and "screamed" at her in front of a group of people. "I explained to him what the f--k I knew about this family he was speaking about, and that I was best friends with the children and the parent. And then we parted. I wouldn't say as best friends, but amicably.".
