My Chemical Romance set to play Wembley Stadium after UK tour tease
My Chemical Romance fans are going wild after a Wembley Stadium show was all but confirmed for an upcoming UK tour. The American emo rock legends, best known for huge hits like Welcome To The Black Parade and I'm Not Okay (I Promise), haven't performed in the UK since dates in Milton Keynes and Warrington on their postponed 2022 reunion tour. However, that looks set to change after some major teases about a UK leg of their Long Live The Black Parade Tour, which could take place in 2026. The band – featuring founding members Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero and Ray Toro – are currently celebrating almost two decades since their iconic rock opera, and it'll be our turn soon. Last night, the official Wembley Stadium social media accounts shared a photo of the famous arch lit up red, with the group's cryptic imagery on display. Not surprisingly, fans have gone into full meltdown mode – they're really not okay. 'MY CHEM are going to play Wembley? Wild,' wrote @djrustynail, while @emobuckeybarnes added: 'MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM I NEED TO BE THERE (sic)' 'i'm gonna pass out i'm so excited,' @g0th1cluvr admitted, as @bearnellied said: 'Get in losers we're seeing MCR at Wembley.' Others are a little concerned at the lack of teases by other venues, and hope there are more UK dates to be confirmed. 'Please be more than just a London date,' begged @brettd1981, with many other fans making similar pleas. Considered one of the most influential bands of their era and genre, My Chem released four full studio albums and a string of Platinum-selling singles between 2003 and 2010. The band called it a day in 2013 after more than a decade in the spotlight, before reuniting for a one-off show in 2019 and announcing tour dates across the world in 2020, which were postponed until 2022 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. At this time, the band released their first new song in eight years – The Foundations of Decay – but a new album never arrived, and the reunion tour concluded in 2023. In tragic news, previous drummer Bryar was found dead at his home in November 2024, and the band played only two shows that year. MCR returned to regular live shows in July 2025 on the Long Live The Black Parade Tour and have more shows planned for 2026, and now a new video on social media recently teased a return to the UK for the first time in four years. In the video, which features a parody game show called Quizzo, the host asks says: '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 one of the contestants presses a big button, the host shouts, 'Congratulations, United Kingdom!' indicating that the Teenagers hitmakers will be heading here soon. Naturally, My Chem fans have taken this news calmly. @KofidereVT said: 'My Chemical Romance may have just teased UK dates. I swear to god, I will scream to get an opportunity to see them live again. Gerard Way, don't break my heart.' @Cryophantasm jumped the gun: 'My Chemical Romance has just announced a UK tour, this is not a drill, I am going to die,' while @ArtsTinyHat said they would 'not be calm' about the news. Meanwhile, @RoozNotDead joked My Chemical Romance touring the UK would mean that their money is 'not safe'. More Trending During their heyday, My Chemical Romance scored nine top 40 singles in the UK and released two top 10 studio albums, with 2006's The Black Parade reaching number two on the album charts. Their biggest win came in October 2006 when their song Welcome to the Black Parade unexpectedly spent two weeks at number one, beating competition from the likes of Nicole Scherzinger, Girls Aloud, and Meat Loaf. Welcome to the Black Parade remains the band's most successful song to date, having been certified 2x Platinum in the UK and a whopping 7x Platinum in America. Got a story?

My Chemical Romance Snags 10 New Song Certifications
My Chemical Romance scores 10 new RIAA certifications, with "Welcome to the Black Parade" going ... More seven-times platinum and several songs reaching gold status.

(Photo by Matthew Simmons/WireImage for AOL Music) In the 15 years since My Chemical Romance released its last album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, the band has remained relatively quiet following a split, and an eventual reunion. Some fans have expected new music from the group, but for the most part, very little has emerged for a long time – but followers of the emo rockers never stopped listening. Millions of people across the United States continue to buy and stream the band's full-lengths and singles, and that's clear as the group scores several new honors. My Chemical Romance Earns 10 New RIAA Certifications My Chemical Romance collects 10 new certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The music industry organization recently announced that those 10 tracks have collectively moved another nine million equivalent units, factoring in both actual purchases and streams on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others, adding to the group's already-impressive cumulative total. Five Songs Earn Gold Certification Half of My Chemical Romance's newly-certified tunes reach gold status for the first time. That group includes 'Disenchanted,' 'Sleep,' 'House of Wolves,' 'The Sharpest Lives,' and 'This Is How I Disappear,' which have all moved half a million units in America alone. Two Go Platinum, One Reaches Double Platinum Both 'Mama' and 'I Don't Love You' are now platinum-certified cuts, as they've moved one million equivalent units. Meanwhile, 'Famous Last Words' advances to double platinum status, which means it has shifted two million total units. "Welcome to the Black Parade" Goes Seven-Times Platinum 'Welcome to the Black Parade' continues to lead as the band's highest-certified release. Since it was last named a five-times platinum smash in October 2021, the track — which appears on The Black Parade — has moved another two million copies, and now stands at the seven-times platinum level. Just one million units behind it is 'Teenagers,' which also adds two million equivalent units to its total and becomes a six-times platinum smash. 'Teenagers' had previously been tied with 'Helena' as the band's second-highest certified track, after 'Helena' skyrocketed from gold to four-times platinum in April.
