The countdown to My Chemical Romance's return is on
In just over two weeks, My Chemical Romance will return to the stage for their first show in seven years.
As announced on Halloween, the emo titans will play an intimate show at the Shrine in Los Angeles on December 20 this year. Coincidentally, the same venue that The Ghost Inside played their comeback show this summer.

The band have remained tight-lipped on social media since the reunion was announced, simply sharing a black and white image of their practice space last month.
Now, the band have posted another monochrome image, this time depicting the inside of The Shrine venue with the words "Sedecim Diebus..." – Latin for '16 Days'.
Following their Los Angeles show, My Chemical Romance have huge shows lined up for 2020 including headline slots at Download Japan and Download Australia.
Speaking to Kerrang! last month, Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly revealed he had spoked to frontman Gerard Way about the reunion, and that it had to happen now.
“I spoke to Gerard about the reunion a little bit recently and he said it felt like it was the right time,” said Geoff. “One of the things he said was, ‘I don’t know if it would have happened if it wasn’t now.’ And I got what he meant by that. At some point it just becomes too long, like, ‘I don’t think I can get back there, personally. It’s just too distant and too weird.’ So I’m glad that they’re doing it. I think it’s amazing.”
