My Chemical Romance concert chronology

The Reunion Tour was a concert tour by American rock band My Chemical Romance. After a single reunion show in Los Angeles on December 20, 2019, a worldwide tour set to commence in 2020 was postponed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It commenced in May 2022, with legs in Europe, North America, Oceania, and Latin America.

History

Shrine Exposition Hall
on December 20, 2019.

On October 31, 2019, after a six-year hiatus, the band announced a reunion scheduled to be held as a one-off event in Los Angeles on December 20, 2019.[1] After tickets for the show sold out within minutes, and following a strong positive response to the news online, the band subsequently scheduled further reunion shows worldwide. Initial announcements centered on a run of summer festival shows in mainland Europe and three nights at Stadium MK in Milton Keynes, England, followed by a further announcement of a North American tour.[2][3]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all the tour's 2020 shows, including the North American leg, were postponed to 2021.[4] On March 9, 2021, it was announced that the planned England performance in St Austell had been postponed.[5] The band announced in April 2021 that all of the remaining tour dates had been rescheduled for 2022.[6] An additional three tour dates in Australia were announced on May 23, 2021.[7]

Reception

The first date of the tour was sold out with an attendance of 5,113, garnering a total revenue of $1,451,745.[8]

Angie Piccirillo, a reporter from Consequence of Sound gave the December 20, 2019 performance a positive review, stating: "emo is alive and well in 2019. If you don’t believe it, you should have seen My Chemical Romance reunite on Friday night for their first show in seven years. The legendary emo rock band ended the decade with a literal 'bang', a 'one-night only' gig at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, where the scene smelled just like high school — except this time around, no one was under 21."[9] Other reporters from NME, Rolling Stone and Kerrang! who attended the performance had given the show positive reviews as well.[10][11][12]
