My Chemical Romance Announce Arena Tour

1st Dec 2010

When My Chemical Romance debuted material from their current album release ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’ with a phenomenal show at London’s HMV Hammersmith Apollo, Kerrang! described the event as “truly triumphant”, while NME observed it as an “utter slaying of London”.

Now fans who missed out on that intimate show can experience material from ‘Danger Days’ in the live setting for the first time with the confirmation of a major nationwide arena tour in February 2011. My Chemical Romance will play:

My Chemical Romance will commence 2011 with the release of the single ‘Sing’ on January 10th on Warner Bros. Records. The slow-burning, inspirational ‘Sing’ was cultivated at the home studio of producer and Warner Bros. Records chairman Rob Cavallo (Paramore, Green Day). The video, directed by the band’s frontman Gerard Way and P.R. Brown (Prince, Alicia Keys, Smashing Pumpkins), can be seen at link.

‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’ is the album My Chemical Romance have been building towards their entire, nearly decade long career. From soaring sentiment (‘The Only Hope for Me is You’) to bare-knuckled brawling in the streets (‘DESTROYA’) it defies lazy labels and demolishes expectations. Beholden to no scene, credo or code it’s a rock ’n’ roll album from the future aimed directly at the dead-hearted present. “Next year it’ll be ten years since we’ve been together,” says guitarist Frank Iero. “That’s a long time to stay in one shade. And I think if you’ve been a fan of our band for a long time then you need these different feelings in your life, these different emotions to come through. And I know that because it’s what we need right now.”
