The Scene
Each date will feature a different opener, from veterans like Alice Cooper, Violent Femmes and Devo to alternative rock contemporaries like Death Cab for Cutie, Evanescence and Thursday as well as newer talent, like 100 Gecs and Wallows.
My Chemical Romance formed in New Jersey in 2001 and released four studio albums across their career, first breaking through with 2004's “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.” They announced their breakup in 2013; a year later, they released a greatest hits collection titled “May Death Never Stop You.” In 2019, they announced a reunion, later revealing they'd privately reunited two years earlier.
A reunion tour was scheduled for 2020, rescheduled for the pandemic, and postponed until 2022. That year, they released their first new song since 2014: “The Foundations of Decay.”
