My Chemical Romance Postpone Remaining European Tour Dates To 2021

After making the difficult decision to reschedule their eagerly-awaited UK tour for next year, My Chemical Romance have now also postponed the remaining dates of their summer European shows.

Now, the MCRmy in both the UK and Europe will have to wait until June and July 2021 to see the New Jersey emo heroes, because the coronavirus pandemic has made touring pretty much impossible.

"Due to the current COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, we keep having to make difficult decisions – again, to postpone many shows originally scheduled for Europe this year – specifically Prague, Bologna, Bonn, Kiev, Moscow & St. Petersburg – until 2021," the band say.
