My Chemical Romance Postpone First 2026 World Tour Show in Colombia

My Chemical Romance delay their first 2026 world tour date in Bogotá, shifting the kickoff amid a global celebration of “The Black Parade.”

A Tour to Remember — Or Postpone

If you’re like me, gearing up for My Chemical Romance’s epic 2026 world tour was the kind of excitement that buzzes for months. After all, these guys aren’t just playing music—they’re unleashing a nostalgic revival of their legendary 2006 album The Black Parade. But here’s the update: the band has postponed their opening concert originally scheduled for January 22 in Bogotá, Colombia.

My Chemical Romance gearing up for their 2026 world tour

The postponement was confirmed on the band’s Instagram on January 9, with the Bogotá show now moved to February 10. The reason? “Due to reasons beyond the control of ourselves, the promoter, or the venue,” the band shared, making it clear this was a tough call.

Keeping the South American Spirit Alive

The good news? The legendary Swedish rockers The Hives will still open on the rescheduled Bogotá date. Plus, the rest of the South American and Mexican shows are untouched. So, if you’re planning to catch them, their first actual show of 2026 will now kick off in Lima, Peru, on January 25. From there, the tour hits Santiago, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and Mexico City, keeping the South American fans in the front row.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our fans and look forward to seeing you in a few weeks,” the band reassured, confirming that all original tickets remain valid. For anyone needing refunds, Ticketmaster is your friend.

Southeast Asia Dates Also Shifted

If you were hoping to see MCR in Southeast Asia, heads up: those dates have now been pushed back to November 2026. Again, the band has promised that tickets bought will be honored or refunded. The full updated schedule was posted on their Instagram for everyone’s convenience.

UK and Europe Await the Parade

Once the band wraps up their Latin American dates, they’ll hit the UK, starting with a monumental show at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 30. If you’re in Scotland, catch them in Glasgow, followed by not one, not two—but three massive nights at London’s Wembley Stadium on July 8, 10, and 11.

From there, My Chemical Romance will storm through Europe before taking the tour stateside in August. The lineup is stacked with incredible support acts, including Echo & The Bunnymen, Interpol, Joan Jett, Skunk Anansie, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Mogwai. That’s a playlist for the ages!

Gerard Way Reflects on the Band’s Journey

In a recent interview, Gerard Way opened up on the band’s trajectory and the enduring power of The Black Parade. Here’s a glimpse into his thoughts on MCR’s evolution and why this tour means so much to fans old and new:

Live Highlights and Fan Favorites

Recently, My Chemical Romance’s live shows have been a treat for fans, performing The Black Parade in full alongside some rare gems from their vault. At a Los Angeles concert last summer, they even debuted an unreleased track called “War Beneath The Rain” — talk about a gift!

They surprised fans in San Francisco with a cover of The Smashing Pumpkins’ 1995 classic “Bullet With Butterfly Wings.” And in a heartfelt moment, the band paid tribute to their late drummer Bob Bryar during a Chicago show, his hometown.

New Music on the Horizon?

The chatter among fans is electric with speculation that new My Chemical Romance music might be coming soon. Since their 2010 album Danger Days, the band has remained mostly quiet on fresh releases.

However, in 2022, they dropped their first new single in eight years, “The Foundations Of Decay,” reigniting hope across the fanbase. Earlier this year, MCR also reissued a deluxe 21st-anniversary edition of their 2004 album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge — a nostalgic nod that only deepened fans’ love and anticipation.
