My Chemical Romance Dates to North American Tour; Midtown to Support in a Few Markets

If it feels like ages since My Chemical Romance originally announced its comeback … that’s because it has taken quite a while.

After initially appearing in Los Angeles to play a sold-out show in December of 2019, the venerated alt/punk band had lofty plans for a 2020 arena tour that was sure to sell out in nearly every market.

Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the tour was halted, then rescheduled, and dates moved around multiple times. As it stands now, MCR still hasn’t taken the stage for a show since that late 2019 performance, but that will end in August when the group finally resumes its delayed tour.
