My Chemical Romance Adds Dodger Stadium Date

My Chemical Romance (MCR) has announced a stadium tour for 2025 to celebrate their iconic album 'The Black Parade', adding a second date at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles due to overwhelming demand after selling 365,000 tickets in hours. The tour will feature performances of the album in full across ten U.S. cities, with different opening acts at each venue, including well-known artists like Devo and Alice Cooper. The announcement follows their performance of the album at the When We Were Young festival, reinforcing its enduring relevance and significance. 'The Black Parade' has been recognized as one of the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' by Rolling Stone, and its themes of loss resonate deeply in today's sociopolitical climate. As the tour coincides with a politically charged moment in the U.S., it offers a recontextualization of the album’s themes within contemporary struggles. MCR's journey from their formation post-9/11 to their current tour reflects their engagement with political discourse throughout their career.
