Nostalgic emos of London rise up – this week is your chance to dust off the ripped skinny jeans, box-dye your side fringe and relive 2006, AKA the year that My Chemical Romance dropped their legendary concept album The Black Parade.
Gerard Way and co are at London’s Wembley Stadium as part of their Long Live the Black Parade world tour. The tour, created to celebrate 20 years of the career-defining record (and the 15th anniversary of Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys) began in North America last summer and kicked off the UK and Europe leg on June 30. The first London show was on July 8.
Judging from the shows so far (particularly the huge Liverpool gig and mighty first London date), everyone heading to Wembley for MCR is in for a treat. So without further ado, here are all the details you need to know ahead of My Chemical Romance at Wembley.
