My Chemical Romance have announced a gig with Jimmy Eat World.
We're just over a week away from My Chemical Romance's highly-anticipated comeback show in Los Angeles – but the band are already looking ahead to more dates in 2020.
The New Jersey titans now have a grand total of six reunion shows planned, having just announced a headline date in Japan, with support from Jimmy Eat World.

"We are so excited to be coming to Osaka," the band wrote announcing the gig, which will be taking place on March 28, 2020, the night before they headline Download Festival Japan.
While the members of My Chem are yet to actually fully comment on their comeback, Thursday vocalist Geoff Rickly – a longtime friend of the band, as well as the producer of their 2002 debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love – told Kerrang! recently that he spoke to frontman Gerard Way, and the singer "said it felt like it was the right time" for them to get back together.
“One of the things he said was, ‘I don’t know if it would have happened if it wasn’t now,’" Geoff said. "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.”
