Draag
Long Live The Black Parade is a concert tour by the American rock band My Chemical Romance in celebration of their third studio album, The Black Parade (2006). The tour began on July 11, 2025, in Seattle, and is set to conclude on November 23, 2026, in Jakarta, Indonesia. For the tour, the band plays The Black Parade in its entirety, as well as multiple other songs on a separate B-stage set.
A theatrical-styled production, Long Live follows an overarching narrative centered around the fictional authoritarian country of Draag. It sees the return of the band's Black-Parade alter-ego from the Black Parade World Tour in 2007, who in the show are performing to appease Draag's leader, known as the Grand Immortal Dictator. Each show of the tour progresses the story, which is told through interactions between the band and multiple other characters, such as the Clerk (Charlie Saxton) and Marianne (Lucy Joy Altus). Multiple songs from The Black Parade have been given modifications for the tour, ranging from new sections and introductions, to extended outros.
Long Live has been met with positive reviews, with several journalists praising its production, the creation of a new story for The Black Parade, and the B-stage sets. The tour's political messaging, which is a parody of political authoritarianism, were also widely discussed; some viewed it as an analogy of real world politics. The tour has grossed over $130 million, with an attendance of over 800,000.
