My Chemical Romance concert chronology

The Black Parade World Tour was a concert tour by American rock band My Chemical Romance in support of their third studio album, The Black Parade (2006). The tour began on February 22, 2007, in Manchester, New Hampshire and concluded on May 9, 2008, in New York City. 133 shows were a part of the tour, with locations spanning across five different continents, ranging from cities such as the aforementioned New York City to Buenos Aires and Moscow.

For most of the tour, My Chemical Romance would play The Black Parade in its entirety dressed up as an alter-ego band named after the album. After playing the album in its entirety, the band would then play a selection of songs from their previous albums. The concerts often saw extensive use of pyrotechnics, and also featured blimps that would rise over the stage. Shows throughout the tour would follow this format until October 7, 2007, when the "Black Parade" persona was "killed off" in Mexico City. After that point, the band would no longer play the album in its entirety, but would continue to support it through other miscellaneous shows.

The October 7 show was released as the live album The Black Parade Is Dead! in 2008. The tour received positive reviews from journalists, with Kerrang! ranking it among the best concert tours of all time in 2021.
