My Chemical Romance just closed the loop on a 20th anniversary they’ve been touring behind for more than a year: an expanded reissue of The Black Parade lands October 23, alongside newly confirmed tour dates that push the band’s victory lap into Southeast Asia.

The band marked the album’s anniversary in its own words this week, reflecting in an official statement: “Twenty years ago, we wrote what would become The Black Parade, our third record and the follow-up to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.”

The expanded edition, out on Reprise Records, adds six bonus tracks to the original album: three live recordings pulled from the band’s October 24, 2007 show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, New Jersey, and three B-sides, including a previously unreleased song called “Someone Out There Loves You.” Vinyl variants include Bloodline Red, Baby Pink, and Concrete Grey pressings, plus a laser-etched hologram edition and a limited One Step pressing cut from the original analog master, according to The Music Universe’s rundown of the release. The band also commissioned three new pieces of artwork from illustrator James Jean.

The reissue arrives mid-tour rather than as a standalone event. My Chemical Romance’s “Long Live The Black Parade” run started in Seattle back in July 2025 and has been adding dates ever since, including a stop this past weekend at San Antonio’s Alamodome. The show performs The Black Parade front to back as its own act before the band moves into a broader B-stage set of older material.

The tour’s American leg wraps with five consecutive nights at the Hollywood Bowl on October 21, 23, 24, 30, and 31, ending on Halloween, before the band heads to South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia through November, concluding in Jakarta on November 23. Earlier legs already ran through Mexico City and London’s Wembley Stadium.

Demand for the tour was intense from the start. When the first ten North American dates went on sale in November 2024, all 365,000 tickets sold out within hours, with dynamic pricing pushing some seats above $700 and drawing criticism of Ticketmaster’s pricing model, per contemporaneous reporting cited on the tour’s Wikipedia entry.
