It’s Finally Happening! My Chemical Romance Are Coming To Australia In 2022

It’s been a long wait, but My Chemical Romance will finally make their return to Australia in 2022.

Fans of the US act have been waiting with bated breath ever since COVID cancelled their Download Festival Australia headline slot last year, and they’ve today announced three East Coast shows for next March.

As expected, their return coincides with a New Zealand date confirmed late last year, with the Aussie tour set to kick off at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on March 14, before they play Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on March 17 and then Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on March 19.

Tickets for all shows go on sale this Thursday, May 27, at 12pm AEST.

My Chemical Romance finally reunited in 2019 having not played together since 2012. 

The New Jersey-founded group were scheduled to perform some massive shows around the world, including the aforementioned Download Festival in Australia, however, the COVID pandemic put an end to all touring plans.

Appearing on The Green Room podcast last year, The Used frontman Bert McCracken addressed speculation that they and My Chemical Romance were planning a joint headline tour.

"We do have some really awesome news to announce pretty soon," McCracken told host Neil Griffiths.

"Obviously, the second you see someone announce a reunion tour, you're like, 'Get on me that mother!' I've been texting Gerard like crazy."

Adding with a laugh, he said, "But I've also just been announcing that we are on it, just because, yeah, we should be."
