For many Filipino fans, it’s been a long time coming — and at last, the wait is almost over. My Chemical Romance, the iconic band that defined a generation of emo, alternative, and rock music lovers, is finally making their way back to the Philippines as part of their Southeast Asia 2026 tour.

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, Gerard Way and company will take the stage at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, promising a night of raw emotion, nostalgia, and unforgettable anthems. The tour announcement — shared on their official social media accounts — quickly sent local fans into a frenzy.

This Southeast Asian leg includes stops in South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, but it’s the Philippine date that’s especially meaningful for many. The last time MCR performed in the Philippines was in 2011, and more than a decade later, their influence on the country’s music scene — and the hearts of fans — remains as strong as ever.

Expect to hear iconic tracks like Welcome to the Black Parade, Helena, and I’m Not Okay (I Promise) alongside newer material from their 2020s comeback. The band’s live shows are renowned for their dramatic visuals, high energy, and the powerful connection they forge with the audience — something Filipino crowds are known to give right back.

Tickets for the show are expected to sell out quickly, given the band’s enduring popularity. Details on ticket sales are available through the link in MCR’s official bio. Fans are encouraged to secure theirs as soon as possible and prepare for what will surely be one of the biggest rock events of the year.

So dust off your eyeliner, stitch up your parade uniforms, and get ready to sing your heart out. My Chemical Romance is coming back to the Philippines — and they’re bringing the Black Parade with them.
