My Chemical Romance & Franz Ferdinand at Citi Field

The Black Parade 2026 Tour

A multi-year celebration of My Chemical Romance's 2006 album The Black Parade, where the band performs the album in its entirety! The tour originally kicked off on July 11, 2025, in Seattle, Washington, and has already toured North America, the UK, and European cities and is back for more, running until October 2026. Special guests along the road will include The Hives for the Bogota show, Franz Ferdinand in New York, plus some surprise additions like Iggy Pop and Modest Mouse.

My Chemical Romance

The band's biggest hit to date remains "Welcome to the Black Parade," which topped the UK Singles Chart in 2006 and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. From the same album, "Teenagers" hit No. 6 on Billboard's Alternative Songs Chart, and "Famous Last Words," the closing track, hit No. 5 on Alternative Songs and ends with an absolutely iconic line, "I am not afraid to keep on living." The album was nominated for a Grammy in 2008, but oddly not for its music, but for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package.

They also have "Helena (So Long & Goodnight)," from their 2004 album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, that hit No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and weirdly became a popular funeral track for fans. "Sing," from 2010's Danger Days, peaked at No. 1 on the Alternative Songs chart, and "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)," from the same album, landed at No. 1 on Alternative Airplay.

My Chemical Romance officially announced their breakup in 2013 but reunited in 2019 and held a spectacular 2022 tour, Long Live The Black Parade. Lead singer Gerard Way is also the comic book artist who created the Umbrella Academy series and its Netflix adaptation.

Franz Ferdinand

From Glasgow, Scotland, and named after the archduke whose assassination sparked World War I, Franz Ferdinand's biggest hit, "Take Me Out," is off their 2004 debut album and landed at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Do You Want To," from that same album, reached No. 4 in the UK, but you'll probably recognize it from the Nissan or Sony adverts from the time, and "The Dark of the Matinee" settled at No. 8. That debut album went on to win the 2004 Mercury Prize, went 6x platinum in the UK, and is most likely responsible for a post-punk revival across the pond. Last year Franz Ferdinand returned to their indie-punk roots and released their sixth album, The Human Fear.

Citi Field, New York

Opening in 2009 as the new home for the New York Mets and replacing Shea Stadium, from which you can still find the old home plate in the car park. It is located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, New York, and is on the original site of the 1964 New York World's Fair.

Citi Field has an absolutely staggering capacity of almost 42,000, but that gets even bigger for concerts! Plus, it has more ADA-accessible seating with over 200 wheelchair spaces and companion seats. Ample parking is available with over 20,000 spaces, and there is easy access via the 7 subway line directly to the stadium.
