The night is coming, heavy with anticipation, dripping with darkness, and echoing with the ghostly chorus of a generation. My Chemical Romance is bringing The Black Parade Stadium Tour to Tampa this weekend, and the city is bracing itself for a show that feels less like a concert and more like a resurrection.
A Parade of Shadows
For years, whispers of The Black Parade have lingered in the corners of bedrooms, school hallways, and late-night playlists. Now, Tampa will hear it live, performed in full by Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Frank Iero, and Mikey Way. After a thunderous appearance at the When We Were Young Festival, the band chose only ten cities to haunt with their tour—and Tampa made the list.
The stadium will become a cathedral of emo anthems, a place where every shout and tear is both confession and celebration. And if the past is any sign, fans will not simply attend—they’ll march.
The Haunting Setlist
Rolling Stone etched The Black Parade into history as one of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Every note, from the funeral march of the opening to the roar of the title track, feels like stepping into a storybook painted in black and red.
Special guest Evanescence will open the gates of memory with their own storm of gothic rock. Amy Lee’s voice will slice through the night, setting the stage for MCR to carry the crowd into a fever dream of loss, love, and eternal youth.
Tampa’s Night of Noise
This Saturday, September 13, Tampa will not sleep. With Benson Boone already selling out the Benchmark International Arena, the city will be alive with music, its streets vibrating under the weight of two powerful performances. But for the MCRmy, there is only one true destination: the stadium where black jackets, smudged eyeliner, and a thousand broken voices will unite as one.
Tickets are nearly gone—scarcity only adds to the urgency. Fans are urged to secure seats online before they vanish like ghosts at dawn.
The stage is set, the lights are waiting, and the echoes of The Black Parade are about to rise again. The question is: will you march, or will you be left behind in the silence?
