My Chemical Romance « The Black Parade 2026 »

My Chemical Romance arrives in Madrid on July 18, 2026, at Iberdrola Music with The Black Parade 2026, a stop that spotlights the conceptual universe that defined the band. Formed in Newark in 2001, Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Mikey Way and Frank Iero shaped an alternative rock fed by punk, emo and post-hardcore, with melodic choruses and a strongly narrative aesthetic. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge established their sound; in 2006, The Black Parade took that idea further with a concept album staged theatrically and songs designed for collective singing.

After the brighter, more electronic turn of Danger Days in 2010, the 2013 hiatus and the return to the stage in 2019, the quartet broadened its horizons with The Foundations of Decay in 2022. In Madrid, the repertoire engages with those phases: the urgency of the early records, the dark and dramatic imagery of The Black Parade, and the present moment of their comeback. Gerard Way’s voice guides a set charged with tension and release, with Ray Toro’s guitar shaping dynamics, Mikey Way’s bass holding the pulse and Frank Iero adding rhythmic edge. Music, narrative and energy on equal footing.
