My Chemical Romance concert chronology

The Black Parade World Tour was a concert tour by the 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. The tour consisted of 133 shows, spanning across five different continents, ranging from cities like the aforementioned New York City to Buenos Aires and Moscow.

For the first half of the tour, My Chemical Romance would play The Black Parade in its entirety dressed up as an alter-ego marching 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. These shows saw extensive use of theatrics and additional stage elements, such as pyrotechnics and blimps that would rise over the stage. Tour shows would follow this format until October 7, 2007, when the "Black Parade" persona was "killed off" in Mexico City and they stopped playing the full record. Future shows, while still promoting The Black Parade, featured more varied set lists.

The tour received positive reviews from journalists, who highlighted the theatrical elements of the shows as well as the performances of the band, specifically front man Gerard Way. According to the Billboard Boxscore, the tour generated an average of $183,600 in revenue per show, with an average of 5,415 tickets sold per date. The October 7 show was later released as the live album The Black Parade Is Dead! in 2008. In 2021, Kerrang! ranked it as one of the best concert tours of all time. A second concert tour themed around The Black Parade, Long Live The Black Parade, began in 2025 and will conclude in 2026.
